How is a Senior Project Manager role different from a PM role?
Senior PM roles generally carry broader project, client or team responsibility, although titles vary by employer. We confirm the scope and decision-making expectations for each opening.

Good questions
Frequently asked questions.
What do you review when recruiting Senior Project Managers?
We discuss relevant project delivery, team leadership, coordination and client responsibilities. The search prioritizes experience aligned with the assignment.
Do you recruit for owner-side senior PM positions?
Yes. We recruit Senior Project Managers for contractors, developers, owners and construction managers. The search distinguishes owner representation from contractor-side delivery.

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.
