solutions for US-based construction, architecture, and engineering (AEC) firms. We pride

● Background & Experience:
○ Bachelor’s degree in Communications, Marketing, Business Administration,
Psychology, or International Relations.
○ 2+ years of experience in high-volume talent sourcing, executive search, or
specialized recruitment research.
○ Proven track record of identifying and engaging passive candidates through
advanced Boolean search, LinkedIn Recruiter, and alternative digital sourcing
channels.
○ Expertise in Pipeline Management: Experience managing the top-of-the-funnel
stages, ensuring a constant and qualified flow of candidates into a CRM/ATS.

postings or digital content to increase organic reach and platform ranking.
