Our approach

Commissioning expertise across building systems

We recruit Commissioning Agents and commissioning professionals for owners, construction managers and specialist firms. We clarify whether the assignment covers mechanical, electrical, plumbing, controls or integrated systems, and define the agent's independence and project relationships.

Our approach

Testing, documentation and coordination

Candidate discussions cover commissioning plans, submittal and installation review, pre-functional checks, functional performance testing, issue logs, documentation and turnover. We assess how candidates coordinate with design teams, contractors, operators and owners without assuming they perform every trade installation task.

Our approach

Direct outreach and project coverage

We use direct outreach and our construction network to connect with commissioning professionals, including people not actively looking. We consider local candidates and candidates willing to travel 100% for site work, confirming systems, project phase and travel expectations before introductions.

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.
