Ground Up Construction Recruiting

Ground Up Construction Recruiting is a specialized recruitment agency founded by husband and wife team Corey and Khadijah, dedicated to solving the recruiting challenges that construction companies face. Based on their faith-driven values and commitment to integrity, they focus on connecting top construction professionals with purpose-driven companies through cost-efficient and dedicated recruiting solutions.

Ground Up Construction Recruiting offers a unique approach to construction recruitment with two distinct service models designed to meet different client needs. Their Blueprint Model provides structured retained search services with upfront commitment and focused results, while their Crew Model offers ongoing recruitment support like having an in-house recruiting team member.

The agency specializes exclusively in non-trade construction professionals, working with commercial general contractors, civil contractors, subcontractors, home builders, owner-representatives, and developers. Their comprehensive six-step process begins with strategic alignment to understand company culture and hiring needs, followed by focused strategy sessions, targeted sourcing through their construction-specific network, thorough candidate screening, detailed recommendations, and ongoing support for onboarding and retention.

What sets Ground Up apart is their faith-based mission to glorify God while connecting construction professionals with companies that share values of integrity and excellence. They provide market insights, compensation guidance, and long-term workforce planning strategies, ensuring their partnership extends well beyond just filling positions.

Their pricing structure is transparent and negotiable, with Blueprint Model fees ranging from $15,000 for foundation-level roles to $30,000+ for executive positions, and Crew Model monthly retainers starting at $7,500. All services come with guarantee periods ranging from 90 to 180 days, demonstrating their confidence in delivering quality placements.
