How it works.

  1. 01

    Tell us the role

    Share the position, location and what the hire needs to own.

  2. 02

    We send vetted candidates

    We approach and qualify construction professionals before making introductions.

  3. 03

Our approach

Recruiting for project delivery

We recruit Superintendents, Project Managers, Senior Project Managers, Project Executives, Project Engineers and Estimators. We also work on searches for Directors and VPs of Construction when a contractor needs leadership for a team, market or project portfolio.

Our approach

Searches shaped around your work

We ask about the project types, contract structure, location, reporting line and responsibilities before we approach candidates. Search work can include ground-up commercial construction, structural steel, commercial roofing, hospitality and gaming, restaurant and retail programs, and utility or substation work.

Our approach

Contingency recruiting

See our current recruiter-cost guide for published service options and rates. Fees are open to negotiation based on volume and exclusivity. The signed recruiting agreement defines the fee calculation, payment and any replacement terms.

Our approach

Start with the opening

Tell us what the role owns, where the work is located and what experience matters. We can then discuss a search plan and the candidates we will target.

Free printable tool

Employer search brief for general contractors.

Fill this in before you talk to any recruiter. A complete brief is what separates a focused search from a stack of loosely matched resumes. No signup required; print it or copy the rows into your own notes.

Permanent recruiting is not temporary labor. We run direct-hire searches for salaried project and field leaders who join your payroll. Hourly temporary labor is a staffing arrangement where workers stay on an agency payroll for a defined period. If you need short-term crews, this brief is the wrong tool; if you need someone to own the work, it is the right one.

Good questions

Frequently asked questions.

How much does a construction recruiter cost?

See our current recruiter-cost guide for published service options and rates. Fees are open to negotiation based on volume and exclusivity. The signed recruiting agreement defines the fee calculation, payment and any replacement 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 market, project location, compensation, and interview process, so we do not promise a timeline.

Do you only charge if you place someone?

Yes, our searches are contingency based and no fee is due unless we place a candidate you hire. The signed recruiting agreement governs the search and fee.

Do you recruit traveling superintendents and PMs?

Yes. We recruit traveling Superintendents and Project Managers for general contractors, including candidates open to full-time travel.

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

Yes. We recruit for general contractors, developers, owners and construction managers. This page focuses on searches for general contractors.

What regions do you cover?

We work across the United States in the roles and markets we cover. We can discuss local and traveling candidate options for your project locations.

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.
