Construction Recruiter

Macdonald & Company
Katy, TX Full Time
POSTED ON 6/22/2026 CLOSED ON 8/6/2026

What are the responsibilities and job description for the Construction Recruiter position at Macdonald & Company?

We are not the first to focus on recruiting into General Contractors. We do believe we will do it better.


The signal from our clients is clear. Demand for top GC talent is accelerating and remains underserved. Most firms are attacking it with limited data, fragmented delivery, and inconsistent execution. That is exactly where we see the opportunity.


So, we are formally launching a dedicated General Contractor recruitment practice and investing heavily to build it properly from day one.


We have already secured the leader of this division. This search is for the individual who will become his number two and help build the practice alongside him.


This is not a startup desk. This is a platform launch.


This role will be based in our Houston Energy Corridor office at 16200 Park Row, Houston, TX, 77084.


What we’re building

A national General Contractor recruitment business, partnering with leading contractors, developers, and owners to deliver high-impact construction talent.

We are hiring senior leaders to help shape, build, and scale this from day one.


What you’re walking into

A proven platform, not a blank page:

  • $35MM U.S. track record placing development, investment and real estate construction professionals
  • 100,000 fully coded U.S. client contacts across company size, sector, hiring skillset, seniority and geography, with direct emails and cell phones.
  • Six-person in-house data team in Houston, dedicated exclusively to scaling the GC platform.
  • Enterprise-grade tech stack with integrated texting, best-in-class email delivery via SourceWhale, and full Bullhorn and LinkedIn Recruiter integration for seamless workflow and tracking
  • Proven ability to launch new markets and generate rapid ROI.
  • Existing client relationships across developers, investors and construction groups to be leveraged.

Compensation that reflects performance:

  • Top-of-market base salary, healthcare, 401(k) and benefits.
  • Transparent commission structure that sees multiple U.S. recruiters already earning $400k annually.


Who this is for

You are likely already operating at a high level in construction recruitment or a closely aligned vertical, but want:

  • More ownership
  • Real ability to build and shape a vertical. You are not inheriting a heavily carved up market or competing internally for clients. You will have the space to define strategy, win accounts, and build something with your name on it.
  • Better infrastructure across data, tech and delivery
  • You are not starting from scratch. You will have immediate access to a 100,000 contact database, a dedicated in-house data team to support your market build, and a fully integrated stack across Bullhorn, LinkedIn Recruiter, SourceWhale and texting that actually drives conversations and placements.
  • A platform that can support scaling a serious business line
  • This is built to go beyond a one-person desk. With existing client relationships across developers, investors and contractors, plus internal delivery support, you have the foundations to grow a team and build a meaningful revenue line, not just bill individually.
  • The opportunity to build something meaningful, not just maintain a desk
  • This is for someone who wants to create a business within a business. The mandate is to build a best-in-class General Contractor practice with real backing behind it, not just keep a seat warm on an existing desk.
