Good questions
Frequently asked questions.
How is a General Superintendent different from a Superintendent?
A General Superintendent commonly has broader coordination responsibility across field leaders or project areas. Employers use titles differently, so we verify the actual remit.
What field experience matters for a General Superintendent?
Relevant experience depends on the project, delivery structure and size of the field team. We discuss sequencing, trade coordination and site leadership responsibilities.
Can you recruit a traveling General Superintendent?
Yes. We consider local candidates and field leaders nationwide who will travel. We discuss site coverage, schedule and travel expectations before introductions.
How much does a General Superintendent search cost?
The signed recruiting agreement sets the fee and terms. No professional fee is due for a standard contingency search unless we place a candidate you hire.
Do you recruit General Superintendents for civil construction?
Yes. We recruit for building, heavy civil and specialty field leadership roles. Candidate experience is matched to the employer's project scope.

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.
