Good questions

Frequently asked questions.

What kind of Project Executive searches do you handle?

We recruit Project Executives for contractors, construction managers and owner organizations. Each search reflects the size and scope of the team or portfolio the person will lead.

How do you distinguish a Project Executive from a Senior Project Manager?

The distinction depends on decision authority, client responsibility and team scope. We define those expectations rather than relying on title alone.

Which project backgrounds can fit a Project Executive role?

The relevant background depends on the project type and delivery model. We discuss comparable work, leadership responsibility and client experience with the hiring team.

Do you recruit traveling Project Executives?

Yes. We consider local candidates and professionals nationwide who are willing to travel. Travel patterns and site responsibilities are clear before candidate introductions.

What is the fee for a Project Executive search?

The signed recruiting agreement sets the search terms and fee. For a standard contingency search, no professional fee is due unless we place a candidate you hire.

Can you recruit Project Executives for owners?

Yes. We work with developers, owners, general contractors and construction managers. The search specifies whether the executive represents the owner or leads a contractor team.

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.
