Our construction practice
Construction recruiters for contractors and builders.
Northside Recruiting places the people who deliver projects, from preconstruction through closeout, with general contractors, subcontractors, and owners nationwide.
Where we go deep
Disciplines we recruit for.
Construction hiring turns on project type and delivery method, not job titles. These are the seats we fill most.
We also recruit for Civil & Heavy Civil, Virtual Design & Construction, Skilled Trades.
Plain answers
The questions contractors ask first.
What does a construction recruiter do?
A construction recruiter finds, screens, and presents the people who deliver projects: project managers, superintendents, estimators, and field leadership. A good one knows the difference between project types and delivery methods, and screens on what you have actually built rather than a job title.
When should a contractor use a recruiter?
When a start date is fixed and the seat is not filled, when a role has sat open because the market is thin, or when you need to hire quietly without signalling a new pursuit. We are most useful when the hire is time-bound and the talent is not applying to job boards.
What does it cost?
Candidates never pay us anything. Contractors pay a contingency fee, a percentage of first-year base salary agreed in writing before the search begins, due only when the hire starts. Every placement carries a replacement guarantee.
How it works
Built around your schedule.
The same three steps whether you are hiring or moving.
- 1
A conversation about the work
For contractors, a short intake on the project, the team, the schedule, and what would make someone succeed here. For candidates, what you have run and what you want next.
- 2
A mapped market, then a shortlist
We know who is running what, who is finishing a project soon, and what the market pays. You get a handful of genuinely interested, genuinely qualified people, not a stack of resumes.
- 3
Offer, notice, and start date
We manage references, comp negotiation, relocation, and notice timing so the start date you agreed on is the start date you get.
Staffing a project, or ready for your next one?
Either way, it starts with a conversation about the work.
