A search built on labor market visibility.
Most construction searches fail because they start blind — sourcing before the market is understood. We invert that. Every search begins with intelligence and ends with a hire that holds. Six phases, qualified shortlist in roughly ten business days.
Active applicants are a fraction of the market.
The operators capable of running your most important work are already employed. They don't appear on job boards. Reaching them requires market visibility most firms — and most recruiters — simply don't have.
On job boards, responding to postings, often between roles. The pool every traditional search competes over.
Employed, running active projects, not searching — and statistically the strongest operators in any regional market. This is where we work.
Six phases. Each reduces a specific category of hiring risk.
Intake & Role Calibration
Days 1–2We calibrate the role against your actual operating environment — project type, scope, reporting structure, and the operational profile that predicts success.
Labor Market Mapping
Days 2–4We map every competing firm operating at your project scale in your region — and where the operators capable of running your work currently sit.
Passive Identification & Compensation Benchmarking
Days 3–6We surface the operators already succeeding in environments like yours — by name, employer, and project history — and calibrate your offer against live regional compensation data in parallel.
Outreach & Engagement
Days 5–10Direct, market-informed conversations with identified operators — leading with project sophistication, backlog stability, and operational autonomy, not a job posting. A focused shortlist of screened, genuinely interested operators typically lands within ten business days.
Shortlist & Interview Loop
Days 10–25You receive interview-ready candidates, and we feed real market signal back as the process runs — how your role, comp, and process compare to what candidates are seeing elsewhere.
Offer, Close & Retention
Days 22–35We support the offer through close — counteroffer framing, resignation management, and the early-tenure factors that determine whether the hire actually sticks.
From market map to shortlist.
A representative search funnel — the methodology narrows an entire regional market down to a shortlist of operators who can do the work and will actually move.
