Our approach

Recruiting from the owner's perspective

An owner's construction team may coordinate consultants, design partners, construction managers and general contractors. We recruit professionals whose experience fits the project responsibilities, reporting relationships and delivery model you describe.

Our approach

Roles for development and capital projects

Searches can include Project Managers, Senior Project Managers, Project Executives, Directors and VPs of Construction, Estimators and Project Engineers. We also discuss specialty experience in commercial, hospitality and gaming, restaurant and retail, structural steel, roofing, utility and substation projects.

Our approach

Direct search with contingency terms

We reach candidates through our network and targeted outreach rather than relying only on applicants. See our current recruiter-cost guide for published rates. Fees are open to negotiation based on volume and exclusivity. There is no fee on a contingency search unless we place someone you hire, subject to the signed agreement.

Our approach

Define the project need

Share the project stage, location, scope of the role and experience the hire needs to bring. We will discuss the relevant market and how a search could support your team.

Good questions

Frequently asked questions.

How much does a construction recruiter cost?

See our current recruiter-cost guide for published rates. Fees are open to negotiation based on volume and exclusivity. The signed recruiting agreement confirms the fee and terms.

How fast can you fill a superintendent or PM role?

We start headhunting right after aligning on the role and typically share qualified candidates quickly. Timing varies with the project location, compensation, and decision process, so we do not promise a timeline.

Do you only charge if you place someone?

Yes, on a contingency search there is no fee unless we place a candidate you hire. The signed agreement governs each search.

Do you recruit traveling superintendents and PMs?

Yes. We recruit traveling Superintendents and Project Managers for owner and development work that requires travel.

Do you work with developers and owners, not just GCs?

Yes. We work with developers and owners as well as general contractors and construction managers. We tailor the search to the owner's project role and delivery structure.

What regions do you cover?

Our searches cover markets across the United States. Candidate options depend on the role, location and whether the position allows relocation or travel.

Every profile is presented without identifying details. We confirm current interest and fit before arranging a private introduction.

How it works

How we fill your job.

Four steps, run by Ivan or a senior teammate.

01

Tell us who you need

We talk through the job, the projects, location, pay and why someone good would want it.

02

We find and speak with candidates

We call people with the right experience, including many who are not applying for jobs.

03

You meet the strongest matches

You get a short list with notes on each person. We set up interviews and share feedback.

04

We help you complete the hire

We help with the offer, counteroffers, notice and start date.

Relocation and travel

Location is part of the search.

We look locally first and discuss whether relocation or travel makes sense. A traveling superintendent's rotation, a PM's family move and a local commute are different decisions. We cover relocation help, per diem and timing before you meet anyone, not at the offer.

Placement protection

Candidate replacement guarantee

How long is the candidate replacement guarantee?

We offer a candidate replacement guarantee on standard search agreements. The applicable period and exact terms are set out in the signed client recruiting agreement.

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