The problem

What a construction staffing agency should fix on a commercial build

Your problem is rarely the labor pool. It is the gap between award and mobilization, and the estimator writing take-offs at 9pm because nobody else can. One gap costs you the schedule, the other costs you the next bid.

Award to mobilization gap

The gap between award and mobilization costs you the schedule. The estimator writing take-offs at 9pm costs you the next bid.

Field and office tangled

Field leadership has to stand on the deck and hold the subs to the look-ahead. Take-offs, bid packets and pay applications move through a screen.

Superintendent wages on paperwork

You stop paying superintendent wages for submittal chasing when the back office has its own desk.

Bids lost to backlog

A full take-off queue loses bids you should have won. A deeper bench behind the estimator keeps the pipeline priced.

Transparent pricing

Two models, one honest number

Traditional agencies charge 20-30% of first-year salary, billed once and gone. We price both models to be cheaper than that and easier to leave. Neither model asks you to buy a block of hours you may not use.

How it works

From discovery call to onboarding in 21 days

Fewer than 1% of applicants are presented to clients. Every candidate moves through 5-Stage Vetting with AI-assisted screening before you meet them, and you receive vetted candidates in 10 calendar days from the discovery call.

AI-assisted screening

Every application is screened against the role's real requirements before a recruiter reviews it.

Skills assessment

Candidates prove the core skills the role needs through practical, job-specific tasks.

Communication and culture

We assess English fluency, communication, and fit for how your team actually works.

Background verification

Work history, credentials, and identity are verified before any candidate advances.

Reference checks

We speak to past managers to confirm performance before a candidate reaches you.

One partner, wherever your next hire lives.

The right model depends on the seat, not the business. Some roles need someone in the building; back-office, documentation and administrative work does not, and costs far less remotely.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Should I hire US direct or Global fully managed?

Sort by the desk, not the budget. If the seat needs to walk the deck, sign a daily report, or hold subs accountable in person, hire US direct from a $995 retainer. If the seat lives in Procore, Bluebeam, and email, run it global from $12/hr all-inclusive. Most builders end up with both, and we map your open seats before you commit.

How fast can you fill a superintendent seat?

You get a vetted shortlist in 10 calendar days from the scoping call. Interviews run on your calendar, and onboarding lands in 21 days once you sign an offer. Field seats move slower than back office seats in tight metros, and we tell you that on day one rather than at week six.

What does the fee actually cover?

For US direct hire, the $995 retainer covers sourcing, 5-Stage Vetting, and reference and credential checks. The success fee is due when your hire starts, not when we send resumes. For Global fully managed, the hourly rate is all-inclusive: recruitment, payroll, equipment, supervision, and your Client Success Manager. There is no separate placement fee and no annual contract.

Can global staff really run estimating and take-offs?

Yes, for quantity take-offs, bid packaging, subcontractor follow-up, and scope levelling. They work inside your license seats and your templates, and a US estimator or project executive owns the final number. Builders typically keep pricing judgment onshore and move volume work to global desks, which is what clears a backed-up bid calendar without adding a salary.

What happens if a field hire does not work out on site?

US direct hire placements carry a 60-day replacement guarantee. Tell us inside that window and we restart sourcing at no additional fee. Global fully managed carries a 100% performance replacement guarantee for as long as the seat is active, and the account stays month to month. You are never locked into a person who is not performing.

Do you handle OSHA and credential checks before I interview?

Yes. Field candidates are screened for a current OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 card, and we confirm the trainer record before anyone reaches your shortlist. We also check licences where the trade requires one, plus references from two recent projects. You interview people who are already cleared to be on your site.

Which markets and states do you cover?

US direct hire runs across all 50 states, including prevailing wage and certified payroll environments. Global staff are recruited from six core talent markets and scheduled to your project time zone, so daily reports and RFI follow-up land before your morning huddle. Multi-state builders can run one agreement across every region.
