Our approach
Scheduling grounded in project execution
We recruit construction schedulers and project controls staff who support planning, schedule development, updates, progress measurement and analysis. We ask how the person will work with field leadership, project management and client teams.
Our approach
Match the controls scope
Openings may focus on schedule logic, baseline maintenance, change analysis, cost and progress reporting or integrated project controls. We learn the employer's tools and cadence rather than treating software exposure as a substitute for project judgment.
Our approach
Experience across project types
Candidates may support buildings, industrial work, utilities, transportation or major infrastructure. We discuss contract setting, schedule complexity, interfaces and communication with project stakeholders.
Our approach
Local and traveling project controls
Our network includes local schedulers and candidates willing to travel 100% to project sites. We clarify site time, reporting responsibilities 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.
