How our search works

Denver's open-shop and union markets overlap, and a candidate's cost structure differs between them. We tell you plainly which side a candidate comes from and what that means for your rate and your crew.

Time to shortlist

Two to three weeks on service and project management roles. Senior service managers running large agreement books take longer; that group moves rarely.

Fee

Most searches run on contingency — you pay only when a hire starts — and every placement carries a 90-day replacement guarantee; retained fees apply only to confidential or executive searches.

Frequently asked questions

What does a Denver mechanical recruiter cost?

A percentage of the hire's first-year base salary, in writing before work starts.

How fast will I see candidates in Denver?

Two to three weeks to a first slate on standard service and project roles.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes — 90 days on every placement.

How confidential is the search?

No client name goes into the market until interviews are agreed.
