How We Screen PM Candidates

Title alone does not tell us if a candidate can run your job. Our project management recruitment screen digs into:
  • Project size by dollar value and square footage
  • Delivery method (lump sum, GMP, design-build, CMAR, IPD)
  • Self-perform exposure vs. pure construction management
  • P&L responsibility at the project level
  • Owner type (private developer, institutional, public agency, federal)
  • Schedule pressure and recovery experience
  • Buyout and subcontractor management responsibility
You receive a written profile on each candidate before you meet them — so you walk into the interview already calibrated.

When to Recruit a Project Manager

Companies typically engage us when:

1

Backlog is signed but the PM bench cannot run it

2

A current PM has given notice and the project cannot lose continuity

3

They are entering a new market or sector and need a PM with local relationships or sector-specific experience

4

A strategic project is coming up that needs senior PM horsepower not a stretch hire

FAQ

Sources, screens, and presents qualified candidates for construction project management roles — including project managers, senior PMs, and project executives.
Most construction PM searches close in 4–8 weeks from kickoff to signed offer.
Yes. We screen by delivery method — lump sum, GMP, design-build, CMAR, and IPD.
Do you place project managers nationally?
A PM typically runs one project at a time. A project executive runs a portfolio or business unit, with PMs and superintendents reporting up to them.
Yes — developers, institutional owners, and public agencies. The skill set overlaps with contractor-side PM work, but the focus shifts from execution to oversight and risk management.
Yes. We have placed PMs in mission-critical, semiconductor, life sciences, and healthcare. Niche searches take longer to source but the screening rigor is the same.
