If you are here, hiring probably isn’t working the way it should.
Maybe postings are not producing results. Maybe you are handling it yourself and it is pulling you away from running the firm. Maybe you used an agency before and did not love what you paid or who you got.
This page is for firms that have a real role to fill and want to understand what on-demand recruiting actually looks like in practice — before committing to anything.
This works for:
- A single critical hire
- Multiple open roles simultaneously
- Roles that have been open too long
- Searches where agencies have not delivered
What you’re actually getting
We’ve been recruiting exclusively in architecture, engineering, and construction since 2012 — not as generalists who occasionally fill AEC roles, but as people who came up in the industry. Touring job sites. Reviewing drawings. Sitting across from principals and learning what actually drives hiring decisions at firms like yours.
Two members of our team have spent time inside large A&E firms running internal recruiting before returning to search. That inside perspective — understanding how firms actually evaluate and lose candidates — changed how we work.
We know what you mean before you finish the sentence
When a principal at a small to mid-sized firm says “I need a Project Architect,” we don’t just hear the title. We hear: someone technically strong enough to run construction documents, client-facing enough to manage the relationship, and capable of operating as a hybrid PA/PM without pulling the principal into day-to-day decisions.
When someone says “CA Manager,” we know they want a seasoned technical architect who belongs on the job site — not in front of a screen.
After 15 years filling the same core roles at firms your size, you stop guessing. You just know.
We map the market before we touch it
Before sourcing a single candidate, we understand your firm’s portfolio, your project type, and which firms in your market are producing the kind of talent you actually need. We’re not firing at LinkedIn — we already know where to look.
Every role in your firm, not just the architectural titles
The support roles inside an AEC firm aren’t the same as they are anywhere else — from marketing and business development to accounting and operations. We fill all of them, and we know the difference.
How an engagement works
Week 1
We align on the role and what a strong hire actually looks like.
- Job postings go live under your brand.
- Outbound sourcing begins immediately.
Weeks 2–3
Qualified candidates start coming in.
- We screen and filter — you only see people worth your time.
- Interview coordination is handled.
Ongoing
The pipeline builds and the process gets more efficient.
- If you have multiple roles, they run in parallel.
- You stay focused on running the firm — not recruiting.
When you hire
No placement fee. The candidate is yours.
- We support offer and negotiation if needed.
- You can pause or stop anytime.
Good fit
- Architecture, engineering, or construction firm
- Small to mid-sized firm
- One or more roles open right now
- Want candidates sourced to your standards, not an agency’s bench
This model isn’t for everyone
If you want contingency-only recruiting — no cost until someone is hired — a traditional staffing agency is probably the right call.
