Four engagement models built for mission-critical construction

Each iRecruit.co solution is scoped to a specific hiring problem. Use them individually or combine them into a hybrid engagement under a single account team.

RPO

RPO Recruiting

Recruitment Process Outsourcing

Full or partial outsourcing of your construction recruiting function — hiring SOP, sourcing, interviews, references, and offers — led by a dedicated embedded client partner. We also consolidate your existing agencies at renegotiated rates, turning ten recruiter relationships into one point of contact.

  • Best for: Full or partial recruiting function outsourced
  • Cadence: Weekly workforce-planning and recruiting meetings
  • Pricing: Monthly service fee or per-hire (program-scoped)
  • Engagement: 6–36 months; renewable

Embedded

Embedded Talent Partner

Dedicated talent partner

A senior, sector-fluent recruiting leader working inside your team — your ATS, your culture, your priorities — personally sourcing and closing the hires your program depends on.

  • Best for: Defined role portfolio; sustained capacity
  • Pricing: Monthly volume-based fee + success fee
  • Engagement: 3–12 months; renewable
Explore embedded recruiting →
Executive Search

Construction Executive Search

Confidential leadership search

Confidential executive search — retained or contingent — for senior construction leadership — CEO, COO, CFO, VPs, Project Executives, Chief Estimators, Directors, and Board roles. Discreet, sector-fluent, structured.

  • Best for: Senior leadership; confidential incumbent replacement
  • Pricing: 30% of first-year comp — volume-dependent
  • Engagement: 90–120 days per search
Explore executive search →
Per-Role

Recruiting Support

Per-role specialty hires

Per-role recruiting for specific, time-bound construction hires — without standing up a sustained engagement. Defined scope, defined fee, defined timeline. Single firm, accountable.

  • Best for: One or two specific construction hires
  • Pricing: 20% fee on placement — volume-dependent
  • Engagement: 4–10 weeks per role

Decision Framework

Which iRecruit.co recruiting model fits your situation?

The right solution depends on hiring volume, role seniority, confidentiality requirements, and how deeply you want the recruiting team integrated with your hiring function. A quick decision frame:

Match your situation to a model

Four short scenarios. Pick the one that sounds like yours.

If

I have one or two specific construction hires to fill

You can name the role(s), the timeline is clear, and you don’t need a sustained engagement — just qualified candidates fast.

Choose Recruiting Support →
If

I need a dedicated recruiter for a 5–25 req portfolio

You have ongoing construction hiring over 3–12 months and want a dedicated partner integrated with your team — a monthly volume-based fee plus a success fee on placement.

Choose Embedded Talent Partner →
If

I’m outsourcing a full recruiting function

You need multi-recruiter capacity for sustained mission-critical hiring at program scale — with sourcing, coordination, and reporting infrastructure run by iRecruit.co.

Choose RPO Recruiting →
If

I’m hiring a senior leader, confidentially

The role is C-Suite, VP, Project Executive, Director, or Board — and the search needs to be handled discreetly with structured market mapping and reference verification.

FAQ

Construction recruiting solutions: frequently asked questions

What recruiting solutions does iRecruit.co offer?

iRecruit.co offers four construction recruiting engagement models: RPO recruiting (full or partial recruiting function outsourced), embedded recruiting support (dedicated talent partner for a defined portfolio), executive search (confidential search for senior leadership), and per-role recruiting support (specific construction hires without a sustained engagement). All four operate exclusively in mission-critical construction across 8 sectors.

How do I know which iRecruit.co recruiting model is right for my situation?

Use the decision framework above. If you have one or two specific hires, choose recruiting support. If you have a defined portfolio of 5–25 reqs and want sustained capacity, choose embedded recruiting. If you’re outsourcing a full or partial recruiting function, choose RPO. If you’re hiring a senior leader confidentially, choose executive search. If you’re uncertain, schedule a 30-minute conversation and we’ll help you scope the right model.

Can iRecruit.co combine multiple recruiting models for one client?

Yes. Many construction firms structure hybrid engagements — pairing executive search for senior leadership with embedded recruiting or RPO for the sustained portfolio. iRecruit.co coordinates hybrid engagements under a single account team with consistent reporting and aligned candidate evaluation. Hybrid is one of our most common engagement patterns.

What construction sectors does iRecruit.co serve?

iRecruit.co operates across 8 mission-critical construction sectors: data center (hyperscale and colocation), healthcare (hospital tower and AMC), life sciences (biomanufacturing, CDMO, fill-finish), semiconductor (fab and advanced packaging), nuclear and SMR, renewable energy and storage, commercial development, and commercial fit-out. Each sector has dedicated network density and framework fluency.

What construction roles does iRecruit.co recruit?

iRecruit.co recruits across 13 construction management disciplines: Construction Project Managers, Superintendents, Assistant Project Managers, Estimators, Schedulers, Project Controls, Cost Engineers, MEP Managers, Commissioning Managers, QA/QC Managers, Safety Managers, Design Managers, and VDC/BIM Managers — plus senior leadership through executive search (CEO, COO, CFO, VPs, Project Executives, Chief Estimators, Directors, Board). See the 13-role career guide library.

Does iRecruit.co work in EMEA?

Yes. iRecruit.co operates across the United States and EMEA with active network density in both markets. International engagements are scoped through the standard solution models — RPO, embedded, executive search, or per-role — with regional team alignment.

What is iRecruit.co’s pricing model?

Pricing varies by engagement model. Recruiting support: 20% fee on placement, volume-dependent. Embedded recruiting: monthly volume-based fee plus a success fee on placement. RPO: monthly service fee or per-hire (program-scoped). Executive search: 30% of first-year cash compensation, volume-dependent — retained or contingent structures by role. All pricing is confirmed in writing at engagement start.

Does iRecruit.co offer a placement guarantee?

Yes. All iRecruit.co engagement models include a replacement guarantee. If a placed candidate departs within the warranty period due to performance or fit, we conduct a no-fee replacement search. Guarantee terms are confirmed in writing for each engagement.

How is iRecruit.co different from generalist recruiting firms?

Generalist recruiting firms work across every industry, with broad networks but limited construction sector specialty. iRecruit.co operates exclusively in mission-critical construction. Our network density, framework fluency (NFPA 70E, FDA cGMP, FGI, SEMI, NQA-1, CMAR delivery, federal procurement), and candidate evaluation criteria are calibrated for mission-critical builds.

How do I start an engagement with iRecruit.co?
