Contingent search

Hand us the job order. Pay when it's filled.

Sometimes you don't need infrastructure or embedded support — you need one hard role filled, and filled well. That's the search business, and we do it the straightforward way: no retainer, no upfront cost, a fee only when you make the hire.

What a search includes

  • A real intake — we learn the role, the team, and what "great" actually looks like before we source a single candidate
  • Active sourcing, not job-board skimming — the best engineers usually aren't applying anywhere
  • Screening for skills and fit, so you interview a short list instead of a stack
  • Scheduling, candidate communication, and momentum through your interview process
  • Offer strategy and close support — the search isn't done until they've started

This fits you if…

  • You have one critical opening and no time to run the search yourself
  • The role has been open too long and the applicant flow isn't cutting it
  • You want zero financial risk — pay only for a result
  • The role is technical, and you need someone who can actually vet it

From code to concrete.

We've filled roles across the full engineering spectrum — on both sides of the tech divide.

  • Civil engineering
  • Structural engineering
  • Transportation
  • Water / wastewater
  • Construction management
  • Mechanical engineering
  • Electrical engineering
  • Architecture / buildings
  • Software engineers
  • Front end developers
  • Back end developers

Common questions

How does contingent search pricing work?

You pay only when we place a candidate you hire. No retainer, no upfront cost, no risk. Fees are agreed before the search starts.

What roles do you recruit for?

Our home turf is engineering in the broadest sense: software engineers, front end and back end developers, and mechanical, electrical, structural, and civil engineers. If your role sits outside those, ask — the process travels well.

What do you need from us to start a search?

A real conversation about the role — not just the job description. Who succeeds in it, who the team is, what the compensation range actually is, and why someone great would take it. A sharp intake is most of what separates a fast search from a slow one.
