Our approach

Growth built around construction work

We recruit Business Development Managers, Directors and VPs, pursuit leaders and proposal professionals. Searches start with the firm's services, client base, territory and the role's part in finding and advancing work.

Our approach

Relationships and pursuits

Candidate discussions cover construction market knowledge, relationship development, pursuit coordination and collaboration with estimating and operations teams. We learn whether the opening emphasizes new accounts, existing clients, proposal leadership or a combination.

Our approach

Local and traveling talent

Our network includes local construction Business Development professionals and candidates willing to travel 100% for work. We clarify the territory, in-person relationship needs and travel expectations before introductions.
