Our approach

Define the testing and inspection discipline

Construction testing firms may provide materials testing, special inspection, building envelope evaluation, or other defined technical services. We identify the discipline and methods relevant to the role rather than treating all inspection experience as interchangeable.

Our approach

Hire technical and operational professionals

We recruit inspectors, field and laboratory technicians, project managers, department managers, and operations leaders. The search can account for required certifications or licenses, reporting structure, and the balance of fieldwork, review, and client coordination.

Our approach

Assess documentation and field judgment

We discuss how candidates conduct observations or tests, document findings, communicate nonconformance, maintain records, and coordinate with project teams. Employers can specify the technical credentials and testing methods required for the opening.

Our approach

Direct outreach and field mobility

We conduct direct outreach to local testing and inspection professionals, including local candidates willing to travel 100%. Nationwide candidates willing to travel 100% can be considered for field assignments with the expected coverage and travel discussed up front.

Relocation and travel

Relocation Placements

Over the last few years we've filled more and more positions with candidates willing to relocate on their own, or with minimal initial relocation help from the client. We always fill with local candidates when possible. But relocation placements are a specialty of ours, and we know how to make them work for clients who are committed to filling the position.

Placement protection

12-month replacement guarantee

On standard (non-reduced) fee agreements, every placement comes with a 3-month free candidate replacement guarantee. From months 4 to 12, we'll still replace the candidate at half off. That's a full year of coverage. We've never needed to use the extended guarantee.

Extended coverage applies to eligible placements billed and paid at the full standard fee under the signed client recruiting agreement.

Three-Month Free Replacement

If a placement billed and paid at the full standard fee separates for a qualifying reason within the first three months, Construction Headhunters will conduct one replacement search for the same or substantially similar position at no additional professional recruiting fee.

Months Four Through Twelve: Half-Fee Replacement

If the hire separates during months four through twelve, the client receives one replacement at half the standard professional fee. Applies only to original placements billed and paid at the full standard fee.

Eligibility, exclusions, notification requirements, payment requirements, and replacement terms are governed by the signed client recruiting agreement.
