About us

Constructing Success: Your Trusted Construction Recruitment Specialists

With a strong presence in the USA, Middle East, and United Kingdom/Ireland, we have built a reputation for connecting top-Der talent with industry-leading clients. Our growth has been fuelled by a commitment to excellence and personalised service, fostering long-lasting partnerships and driving success in the construction sector.

Job Qualification

We start every search with a detailed briefing session to fully understand the role, team dynamic, and the impact the hire needs to make. This isn’t just a job spec review — it’s about aligning on expectations, challenges, and what “Exceptional” looks like. This foundation ensures we target the right individuals from the outset, saving time and delivering more accurate results.

Targeted Search

We begin by approaching our trusted network — highly skilled professionals we’ve built relationships with over time. From there, we headhunt directly for the role, using a targeted, phone-based approach to engage candidates who aren’t actively job seeking. This method ensures we reach the highest-calibre talent, not just those browsing job boards.

Screening

Every candidate we put forward has been personally met and prescreened by us. We take the time to assess their experience, cultural fit, and career motivations. No shortcuts, no surprises. This allows us to present only well-matched, fully informed candidates who are genuinely excited about the opportunity.

Interview & Offer Management

We prepare every candidate before interview — from project examples to key talking points — so they turn up confident and well-aligned. When it comes to offers, we actively manage the process, addressing counteroffers and concerns early. Our hands-on approach is why we maintain a 92% offer acceptance rate.

Post Placement Support

Our work doesn’t stop at placement. We stay in regular contact with both client and candidate, checking in to ensure smooth onboarding and long-term success. This ongoing support helps us maintain strong retention and ensures that every hire delivers real value over time.

Testimonials

The success of our work is best reflected in the feedback we receive. We’re proud to have built lasting relationships with both clients and candidates, grounded in integrity, expertise, and results. Below are a selection of testimonials that speak to the quality, consistency, and care we bring to every placement.
