Led by Amy Litterski, a recruitment specialist with over a decade of experience in the building industry, the firm focuses on delivering quality candidates through a clear, methodical process.

Build Talent offers full-service recruitment consulting specifically tailored for firms working in the built environment. The company's approach centers on understanding both client needs and culture as paramount to successful placement and retention. Their bespoke process gathers deep insights to recruit best-in-class candidates with the right mix of skills, aptitudes, and temperament to match client requirements.

The firm's methodology involves researching, interviewing, and cultivating candidates rather than simply reviewing resumes.

The firm also provides Internal Hiring Process Consulting, working with clients to develop efficient and productive internal hiring processes. This service brings confidence to hiring teams while ensuring candidates have an optimal experience of the client's firm.
