Construction recruitment

Hire the best in construction.

Construction workers take us seriously because we don’t bore them with administrative jargon. We speak their language, because we know their world.
  • We act fast

    Being short-staffed means lost money and lost quality. Our recruiters know it, which is why they act fast.
  • Straight to the point

    Whether we approach a project manager, a plumber, or even an engineer, our approach stays the same: we’re not here to waste their time.
  • Your criteria, no compromise

    We won’t present a candidate who doesn’t fit your team. We respect your criteria, whatever they are.

The problem isn’t the labor shortage.

On a job site, there will always be a shortage of hands. The real challenge is finding an employee who is:

Reliable

We make sure the candidate you hire shows up every morning. You need to be able to count on them!

Profitable

Our recruiters find you the employee who will make the right decisions. We know it: a mistake can be costly.

Loyal

In construction, job sites follow one another. We make sure your next employee will be there for upcoming projects.

In short, you want someone who is already employed.

This kind of profile doesn’t apply to job ads. They’re not looking for new opportunities. The opportunity has to come to them.

Why do companies call on us?

  • Because they know we respect their selection criteria, whatever they are.
  • Because we speak their language. They don’t need to explain the terms. We know them.
  • Because our agency is non-exclusive. They can keep recruiting on their own or work with other agencies.
  • Because we only get paid if they hire one of our candidates.

The roles we can recruit in construction:

Project manager

Project manager

Without them, projects can’t finish on time and on budget. A company short on project managers loses contracts or delivers them poorly.
Estimator

Estimator

They determine whether your project will be profitable before the first shovel hits the ground. A bad estimator can bury you in unprofitable contracts or worse, make you lose contracts by overestimating costs.
Drafter

Drafter

Their role is to bring your ideas to life. If the plan is poorly made, no one will know what to do on site. They must also respect the constraints in every decision they make.
Site superintendent

Site superintendent

They are the backbone of on-site operations. In the end, they’re the reason deadlines are met, teams work well, and your client is satisfied.
Engineer

Engineer

It’s thanks to the engineers behind projects that we can trust them. Without their expertise, it’s impossible to guarantee the safety, efficiency, and profitability of projects. A good engineer avoids costly mistakes.
Electrician

Electrician

Electricity is probably the most heavily regulated element. A single technical mistake and the damage is irreversible. Your workforce in this field has to be rock-solid.
Plumber / refrigeration tech

Plumber / refrigeration tech

These roles are key to a building’s energy efficiency. Their expertise adds tremendous value to projects. Mistakes can be extremely costly and damage your company’s reputation.
Industrial painter

Industrial painter

It’s one of the longest and most overlooked stages of a project. Without a skilled team, it can become a bottleneck that costs you time and money.
Cabinetmaker / carpenter

Cabinetmaker / carpenter

The quality of the finish shows your company’s professionalism. They give your project the pro look it deserves. It’s their work the client sees and thinks: wow!

Frequently asked questions

How do you find construction workers in Quebec during a labour shortage?

The labour shortage doesn't mean there is no one available. It means the good workers are already employed and not looking. Our approach is to prospect them directly where they are. There is always an electrician, a plumber, or a project manager who doesn't quite have the conditions they are looking for and would be open to a better opportunity. The problem is that they are not looking for it. Our job is to present it to them.

What distinguishes construction recruitment from other sectors?

In construction, working conditions make all the difference. It is a demanding environment where workers give a lot physically and mentally, and that is reflected in what they expect in return. A good candidate in this sector does not move for just any offer. They move for the right conditions: stability, interesting projects, a solid team. Our construction recruitment starts with understanding what your ideal worker is looking for, in order to then present what you offer in the right way.

How does hiring in construction work through a headhunter?

Your headhunter starts with a complete needs assessment: the position, the required certifications, the culture of your job site, and the conditions you offer. They then prospect to identify candidates who match your criteria, even if they are already employed. They contact them directly to present your opportunity. If a candidate qualifies and is interested, your recruiter presents them to you with all relevant information. You simply decide whether you want to meet them.

What are the advantages of going through an agency for construction hiring?

The two main advantages are speed and quality. Every week without the right employee on a job site means a project moving slower, deadlines tightening, and money left on the table. We find you someone who will fit into your team for years to come, not just to fill a gap. A good construction employee is an investment that generates value every week. We make sure yours is there as quickly as possible.

How long does it take to recruit a qualified project manager or estimator?

We present candidates to you in less than 48 hours depending on your location and the conditions you offer. Before starting prospecting, we make sure your offer is well positioned relative to the market. A poorly positioned role slows down the entire process. When the conditions are at the right level, we find the right person quickly, whether it is a project manager, an estimator, or any other specialized construction profile.
