Our approach

Growth built around construction work

We recruit Business Development Managers, Directors and VPs, pursuit leaders and proposal professionals. Searches start with the firm's services, client base, territory and the role's part in finding and advancing work.

Our approach

Relationships and pursuits

Candidate discussions cover construction market knowledge, relationship development, pursuit coordination and collaboration with estimating and operations teams. We learn whether the opening emphasizes new accounts, existing clients, proposal leadership or a combination.

Our approach

Local and traveling talent

Our network includes local construction Business Development professionals and candidates willing to travel 100% for work. We clarify the territory, in-person relationship needs and travel expectations before introductions.

Our approach

Search for the right market fit

Experience can span building, infrastructure, energy and specialty construction. We align a candidate's relationships and market exposure with the employer's work rather than treating every Business Development role as interchangeable.

Good questions

Frequently asked questions.

Which construction Business Development roles do you recruit?

We recruit Business Development Managers, Directors, VPs, pursuit leaders and proposal professionals. We first clarify how the role supports the firm's clients, territory and project pipeline.

How do you assess construction Business Development candidates?

We discuss construction market familiarity, relationship-building experience and the candidate's part in pursuits. The search also distinguishes new-client development from account growth and proposal leadership.

Which construction markets can candidates come from?

Relevant experience may come from building, infrastructure, energy or specialty construction. We match the candidate's client and project background to the employer's work.

Can you recruit local and traveling Business Development professionals?

Yes, our network includes local candidates and professionals willing to travel 100% for work. We discuss the territory and travel expectations before an introduction.

Which employers do you work with?

We recruit for general contractors, developers and owners, construction managers and specialty subcontractors. Each search reflects the employer's services and client relationships.

How are recruiting fees handled?

No professional recruiting fee is due unless we place a candidate the employer hires. The signed recruiting agreement sets the terms for the search.

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.
