What We Do

Construction recruiting, end to end.

From a single critical hire to a full project team, we cover the full spectrum of construction talent acquisition — retained, contingency, and workforce planning under one roof.

Retained Executive Search

Dedicated, confidential search for senior leadership — project executives, VPs of operations, and preconstruction directors. We run a structured, milestone-driven process from briefing through offer.

Contingency Recruiting

Project managers, superintendents, and field leadership placed on a no-win, no-fee basis. We move fast on active roles so your project schedule never waits on hiring.

Skilled Trades Sourcing

Volume placement of skilled trades and foremen — from MEP coordinators to civil superintendents. Scaled sourcing for crews, mobilizations, and surge hiring.

Workforce Planning

Forward-looking hiring plans aligned to your project pipeline. We map the roles you'll need across the next 12–24 months and build a bench before the bid drops.

Why Choose Us

A recruiting partner that actually knows construction.

Most staffing firms treat construction like any other vertical. We don't. It's the only industry we serve — which means we understand your org chart, your project lifecycle, and the talent that separates a job done from a job done right.

Construction-onlySingle-industry focus

We don't dabble. Every recruiter on our team has spent years inside the construction industry — we speak your language and know the difference between a precon manager and a field engineer.

Puget SoundRegional expertise

From Seattle high-rises to Eastside civil projects, we know the local contractors, the prevailing wage landscape, and the talent that's actually available — not just on paper.

72-hourFirst shortlist turnaround

For active searches, we deliver a qualified shortlist within three business days of briefing. No ghosting, no recycled resumes, no waiting weeks for a response.

One-yearPlacement guarantee

Every placement is backed by a One-year guarantee. If a hire doesn't work out, we re-run the search at no additional fee — because the right hire is the only acceptable outcome.

Industries We Serve

Specialized across every construction sector.

We recruit for the full breadth of the built environment — from downtown high-rises to heavy civil infrastructure. Here's a preview of where we place talent.

Commercial Construction

Mid-rise and high-rise commercial developments, office build-outs, and mixed-use projects across the Puget Sound region.

Residential Construction

Single-family, multifamily, and master-planned communities — from production homebuilders to luxury custom builders.

Roads, bridges, tunnels, dams, and large-scale earthwork. We source the field leadership that delivers civic-scale infrastructure.

Industrial Construction

Manufacturing facilities, warehouses, data centers, and process plants requiring specialized mechanical and electrical talent.
