Good questions

Frequently asked questions.

How is an owner representative different from a general contractor?

An owner representative supports the owner's project interests and coordinates with the delivery team. The authority and responsibilities vary by project, so we define the assignment before searching.

What do you evaluate in construction manager candidates?

We discuss project oversight, stakeholder coordination, reporting and experience with the relevant delivery model. We also clarify whether the position is owner-side, advisory or contractor-side.

Which project types do you recruit for?

Searches may support building, housing, industrial, institutional or infrastructure projects. Candidate experience is matched to the scope and phase of the owner's work.

Do you recruit traveling owner representatives?

Yes, we consider local candidates and people willing to travel 100% for project assignments. We confirm site coverage and travel expectations during the search.

Who hires construction managers and owner representatives?

Our clients include developers, property owners, construction managers and general contractors. We shape the search around the reporting relationship and project delivery structure.

When is a recruiting fee due?

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

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.
