Hire culture-first Safety Managers who prevent incidents — not just document them. Reference-verified incident records, sector-fluent hazard exposure, and OSHA / CHST / CSP credentials verified. Not another safety-theater hire.
Example candidateA structured process for hires where a single recordable can change your EMR — and a fatality can end a program.
30-minute call. Align on sector, project scale, EMR position, hazard exposure (energized work, confined space, hot work), regulator interface, and start date.
Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 Safety Managers with delivered incident records and sector-anchored hazard experience. Credentials and OSHA verifications included.
Every placement carries a replacement guarantee. If the hire fails within the warranty window, we run a no-fee replacement search.
Construction safety is the most reference-critical hire you make. Culture leadership, sector-anchored hazard fluency, and verified incident records separate a Safety Manager who runs a program from one who runs a paperwork drill.
Every Safety Manager on the shortlist has a documented history of building or holding a safety culture — not just running toolbox talks. Reference-verified from prior superintendents, project executives, and craft leaders.
Energized work (NFPA 70E) for data center, ICRA and life safety for healthcare, cGMP contamination control for life sciences, gas / chemical / clean work for semiconductor. Matched to your hazard exposure, not a generalist.
Every candidate’s incident record is reference-verified where obtainable. Not just an EMR claim — a documented history of TRIR, DART rate, and severity trend across delivered projects.
Every candidate is credential-verified, incident-record referenced, and matched to your sector. Anonymized examples below reflect real placement profiles.

Example candidate“Safety Manager” means very different things across sectors and hazard exposures. Below are the safety specializations we recruit for:
We’ll help you scope the role on the call — hazard exposure, project scale, and regulator interface.
Safety hires live and die on real credentials, real records, and real culture leadership. Below is what every candidate has documented before you meet them:
CSP, CHST, OHST, OSHA 500 / 501, OSHA 30, NFPA 70E qualification, First Aid / CPR / AED, and sector-specific credentials (ICRA, rad worker, HAZWOPER) as required.
Reference-verified TRIR, DART rate, severity trend, and fatality history across delivered projects. Not just an EMR claim.
Reference-verified from prior superintendents, project executives, and craft leaders on how the candidate held the culture under schedule and cost pressure.
Energized work for data center, ICRA for healthcare, cGMP contamination for life sciences, gas / chem for semiconductor. Matched to your hazard exposure.
Verified OSHA inspection response, Joint Commission and DHS interface for healthcare, EPA / DOE where applicable. Composure under regulator pressure.
Safety Manager, Senior, Regional, and Director-level comp bands aligned before finalist interviews. Retention premiums for sector-anchored hires reviewed up front.
Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks from scoping call. Total time to placement (shortlist through offer acceptance) is typically 3–4 weeks.
Pricing depends on engagement model. Per-role recruiting is a defined fee. Embedded is a monthly retainer. Executive search (Director of Safety, VP of EHS) is a retained fee, typically 30–35% of first-year cash comp.
Yes. Every level — Safety Coordinator, Field Safety, Safety Manager, Senior Safety Manager, Regional Safety Manager, Director of Safety, and VP of EHS.
Where obtainable. We reference-verify with prior superintendents, project executives, and safety directors to confirm the incident record. Where the data isn’t reachable, we mark the assertion as unverified rather than claiming it.
Yes. Data center and heavy industrial energized-work programs are core coverage. Every candidate is NFPA 70E credentialed and referenced on qualified-work leadership.
Yes. Every Safety Manager placement carries a replacement guarantee. Guarantee terms are confirmed in writing at engagement start.
Yes. Program builds (Director of Safety + Regional Safety Managers + Field Safety) route through embedded recruiting or RPO. Common for GCs standing up mission-critical verticals.
Generalist recruiters treat all safety experience as interchangeable. iRecruit.co Safety Manager recruiters carry sector- and hazard-specific fluency — every candidate is matched to your hazard profile.
30-minute scoping conversation. We’ll review the safety role you need, hazard exposure, project scale, and regulator interface — then recommend the right hire path and start sourcing.
