A construction headhunter is a specialized recruiter who identifies, vets, and places senior-level talent, Project Managers, Superintendents, Estimators, Project Engineers, and Foremen, into roles at general contractors and specialty firms. Unlike job boards, a headhunter actively sources candidates, often calling on passive talent who aren't actively job hunting.
