Office
and site leadership, not trades
Hyring staffs the professional and management side of construction at a flat 14% direct-hire commission: project managers, estimators, superintendents, project engineers, safety professionals, schedulers, and BIM and VDC specialists. Every candidate you review has already completed a scenario-based AI interview.
We do not supply field trades. No carpenters, electricians, pipefitters, ironworkers, equipment operators, or general labour, whether by the day, the week, or the project. Trade staffing runs on union hall relationships, local dispatch, safety and certification tracking, and same-day availability through branch infrastructure. Agencies built for that work do it well, and we would be a poor substitute. What we do is the office and site leadership layer, where hiring is slower, more consequential, and considerably less well served.
Roles We Fill
Hyring fills construction project management, estimating, superintendency, safety, scheduling, and BIM and VDC roles, not field trades or day labour.
Project management
Project managers, senior PMs, project executives, and assistant project managers across commercial, industrial, and infrastructure work.
Estimating and preconstruction
Estimators, chief estimators, and preconstruction managers handling takeoff, bid strategy, and cost modelling.
Field leadership
Superintendents, assistant superintendents, and project engineers running site delivery and subcontractor coordination.
Safety and quality
Safety managers and directors, EHS specialists, and quality control managers.
Scheduling and controls
Schedulers, project controls analysts, and cost engineers running programme and budget discipline.
BIM, VDC, and technology
BIM coordinators and managers, VDC specialists, and construction technology roles.
Not in scope: field trades, day labour, equipment operators, and union-dispatch roles. A local trade staffing agency is the right partner for those.
How Screening Works for Construction Roles
Construction professionals are screened on delivery judgement and project type fit, because sector experience predicts performance better than years does.
The AI Video Interviewer puts construction candidates into the situations that separate strong delivery people from experienced ones: a subcontractor falling behind with the critical path at risk, a change order the owner disputes, a design conflict discovered after fabrication, a safety issue where stopping work has commercial consequences. Estimators are questioned on bid decisions they got wrong and how they diagnosed the gap, which is more revealing than any discussion of software proficiency.
Project type fit is verified explicitly, because it predicts performance in this sector better than tenure does. A project manager who has delivered ground-up commercial work does not automatically succeed on healthcare renovation or industrial process work, and a candidate whose experience is entirely design-build may struggle under hard-bid delivery. The AI Resume Screener ranks on project type, contract value, and delivery method rather than years in the industry.
What These Roles Pay
Construction professional salaries track project value and market region, with superintendents and senior project managers commanding the strongest premiums.

Fees Compared
US direct-hire fees typically run 20 to 30% of first-year salary, against Hyring's published flat 14%.
On a $140,000 project manager, a flat 14% is $19,600 against $28,000 to $42,000 at typical rates. Construction hiring also tends to cluster around project awards, which multiplies whatever structure you agreed.

Competitor figures are typical reported ranges; the Hyring commission is published
Because demand here follows project awards rather than headcount plans, timing matters. When several large projects are awarded in a region simultaneously, superintendents and senior PMs become scarce and packages spike. Between cycles, experienced staff finishing completed projects become available in numbers, and a search run then costs less and offers more choice.
How Hyring Delivers
Every candidate arrives pre-interviewed by AI, sourced by thousands of recruiting partners, and tracked in one portal instead of an email chain.
In construction, project type and delivery method predict success better than years of experience, so screening ranks on what someone has actually built rather than how long they have been building. Six things run behind every shortlist:
Round one, already done
Every candidate completes an AI first round before you see them: video, coding, phone, or the English test where communication carries the role.
Every applicant ranked
The AI Resume Screener scores the full funnel against your brief, so nothing good gets buried under volume.
A video-first talent pool
Candidates join through Hyring Jobs, presenting on camera and interviewing as they apply. The database is assessed, not just collected.
Thousands of recruiters, not one
The Recruiting Partners network puts specialist recruiters nationwide on your role, paid on placements, every submission passing the same screen.
Panel rounds in Hyring Meet
Interviews are scheduled and held in Hyring Meet, our own video platform, so invites and recordings stay attached to the candidate record.
Transparency after the hire
Augmented and remote teams run on Insight by Hyring: tracked hours and focus patterns, employees seeing their own data first. SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified.
All of it lands in one portal: every candidate uploaded with recording and score attached, clear stages your whole team can see, and feedback captured on the profile rather than in a thread half the panel is missing from.
The Full Service Stack
Direct hire at a flat 14% anchors a stack covering RPO, staff augmentation, IT staff augmentation, employer of record, and global hiring.
Services available for construction professional hiring
| Service | Best for | Pricing shape |
|---|---|---|
| Direct hire | Permanent roles across functions | Flat 14% commission |
| RPO services | Outsourcing part or all of recruitment | ~30% below big-firm quotes |
| Staff augmentation | Dedicated professionals on your projects | ~30% below big-firm quotes |
| IT staff augmentation | Engineering capacity, US or remote India | India route: 60–70% savings |
| Employer of record | Employing remote talent without new entities | Per-employee monthly |
| Global hiring | Building teams beyond the US | 14% rest of world, 7% India |
Staff augmentation suits project-duration professional capacity, and direct hire covers permanent office and leadership roles.
Why We Do Not Supply Field Trades
Trade staffing runs on union relationships, local dispatch, and certification tracking that require branch infrastructure we do not operate.
Supplying trades is a logistics business. It requires relationships with union halls, a local dispatch function that can move people at short notice, tracking of certifications and safety cards, drug testing programmes, and the branch infrastructure to support all of it in each market you serve. The margins are thin and the operational demands are constant. Firms that do it well have built exactly that machine.
Our infrastructure is different: AI screening, a distributed recruiting network, and a portal-based process. That is well suited to hiring a superintendent, where the search takes weeks, the decision is consequential, and evidence matters. It is poorly suited to putting twelve labourers on a site tomorrow morning.
Which is why this page says so before you spend a call finding out. For office and site leadership roles, we compete strongly at a flat 14%. For trades, use a local trade staffing agency, and if you are running both needs at once, running two vendors for two genuinely different problems is the correct answer rather than a compromise.

No. We do not supply carpenters, electricians, pipefitters, ironworkers, equipment operators, or general labour. Trade staffing requires union hall relationships, local dispatch, certification tracking, and branch infrastructure we do not operate.
