How a search with SBR runs
Intake with the hiring authority
A 30 to 45 minute call about the seat, the projects it will carry, the delivery methods and product types, the people it will work with, and the culture it has to fit. We push back where the brief and the market disagree, before anyone spends money on the wrong profile.Market map and calibration
We build the real population of people who have delivered your kind of work in your region at a comparable company, then calibrate the profile with you on a small first batch of names before scaling outreach.Direct, confidential outreach
One at a time, peer to peer, with specifics about your pipeline and your team. Your company name never appears on a posting or a mass email. Candidates learn who you are only after they are screened and interested.Culture fit scoring alongside technical fit
How they run a job, a crew, an owner, a change order or a city planner. You see the scoring and the interview notes, not just a resume.Weekly reporting through the offer and beyond
Every week you know who is in process, who declined and why, and what the market told us about your comp and your brand. We stay through offer, counteroffer, resignation and start date.
What you get
Passive candidate reach
The leaders you want are employed and not applying anywhere. We reach them directly with a real story about your company, and they answer because we know their work.
Comp data you can act on
Every search is benchmarked against our own 2026 California Construction Salary Guide, so your offer clears the market the first time instead of losing to a counter.
Market intelligence
Every decline is captured and categorized. A monthly one-page read on what the market is telling you about the seat, the comp and the pitch.
Confidentiality
Confidential searches for replacements, new divisions and new markets, with your name held until the candidate is cleared and interested.
Direct hire only
Permanent placement is all we do. No temp, contract or staffing, so your recruiter is never trying to sell you a different product.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do we start a search with SBR Jobs?
Fill in the form above, call 424-352-6241 or email A2@sbrjobs.com. We schedule an intake call with the hiring authority, confirm the scope and the market, and start outreach with a calibrated target list, reporting weekly until the offer is accepted.
What do you need from us to begin?
The seat, the projects it will carry, where it sits in the org, the must-have experience, the compensation you have in mind, and thirty minutes with the person the hire will report to. If you do not have a written job description, we build one from the intake call.
How long does a construction management search take?
For most leadership seats, expect a calibrated shortlist within two to three weeks and an accepted offer in six to ten weeks, depending on seniority, location and how competitive the compensation is. Searches with relocation or highly specialized experience run longer, and we tell you that up front.
Do you provide temp, contract or staffing?
No. Permanent, direct-hire placement is all we do, from Project Managers and Superintendents through Division Presidents. If your need is contract labor, we will tell you on the phone and point you to a staffing firm.
Which roles and regions do you cover?
Project management, field leadership, estimating and preconstruction, construction management and owner's representation, land and development, purchasing, operations and division leadership, and finance, for general contractors, homebuilders, developers, construction managers and data center builders. Sacramento, the Bay Area and the Central Valley first, California-wide for executive seats.
How do you keep a search confidential?
Your company name never appears on a posting or a mass email. Outreach describes the company by type, product, size and geography, and candidates learn who you are only after they have been screened and want to move forward. Replacement searches and new-market searches are run the same way.
