How It Works

Hire Schedulers in 3 steps

A structured process for scheduling hires where soft logic and lazy update discipline lose the delay-analysis argument — and hold up cash-flow certification.

Step 01

Talk to our team

30-minute call. Align on sector, delivery model, scheduling stack (P6, MS Project, Synchro), resource-loading expectations, delay-analysis exposure, and start date.

Step 02

Review hand-selected talent

Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 Schedulers with delivered baseline discipline in your sector. Prior schedules reviewed for logic quality where confidentiality allows.

Step 03

Hire with confidence

Every placement carries a replacement guarantee. If the hire fails within the warranty window, we run a no-fee replacement search.

Why iRecruit.co for Scheduler Hires

What makes our Scheduler shortlist different

A schedule is a legal instrument — it’s how you defend time, cost, and cash flow. Logic discipline, resource-loading depth, and time impact analysis fluency separate a Scheduler who holds the schedule from one who just re-baselines away the slip.

01

Clean logic — verified by review

Every Scheduler on the shortlist is reference-verified on logic quality: relationship discipline, constraint hygiene, calendar rigor, and DCMA 14-point compliance where applicable. Not just “P6 fluency.”

02

Time impact analysis fluency

Delivered TIA-referenced experience: fragnets, windows analysis, contemporaneous period analysis, and claim-defense-grade documentation. Verified through prior project executives and claims counsel where reachable.

03

Sector-anchored duration discipline

Hyperscale MEP-heavy activity durations, healthcare tower phased duration, cGMP commissioning windows, semi tool fit-up sequencing. Matched to your sector — not commercial office defaults.

Vetting Criteria

What we verify on every Scheduler candidate

Scheduling hires live and die on logic quality and TIA discipline. Below is what every candidate has documented before you meet them:

Software stack fluency

Primavera P6, MS Project, Asta Powerproject, Synchro 4D. Matched to your existing environment before finalist interviews.

Credentials verified

PMI-SP, AACE PSP, DCMA 14-point familiarity, and sector-specific credentials as applicable. Not just software certifications.

Baseline & logic discipline

Reference-verified from prior project executives and claims counsel where reachable. Baseline discipline, relationship hygiene, and constraint rigor.

Delay-analysis fluency

Fragnet-based TIA, windows analysis, and contemporaneous period analysis experience. Where litigation is likely, deposition-ready experience is required and verified.

Resource-loading depth

Verified resource-loaded schedule experience: labor histograms, S-curves, EVM integration where required. Not just activity-level scheduling.

Compensation alignment

Scheduler, Senior, Scheduling Manager, and Director of Project Controls comp bands aligned before finalist interviews.

FAQ

Hiring a Construction Scheduler: frequently asked questions

How long does it take to hire a Scheduler?

Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks from scoping call. Total time to placement (shortlist through offer acceptance) is typically 3–4 weeks.

What does it cost to hire a Scheduler?

Pricing depends on engagement model. Per-role recruiting is a defined fee. Embedded is a monthly retainer. Executive search (Director of Project Controls) is a retained fee, typically 30–35% of first-year cash comp.

Do you place Scheduling Managers and Directors of Project Controls, or only Schedulers?

Yes. Every level and adjacency — Junior Scheduler, Scheduler, Senior Scheduler, Scheduling Manager, Claims / TIA Scheduler, and Director of Project Controls.

Do you recruit for TIA / claims scheduling specifically?

Yes. Claims-side scheduling (fragnet TIA, windows analysis, forensic scheduling, expert-witness depositions) is core coverage. Deposition and testimony experience verified where required.

Do you verify DCMA 14-point compliance?

Where required. We reference-verify logic quality with prior project executives, claims counsel, and prior owners on DCMA 14-point performance and baseline discipline.

Do you offer a placement guarantee?

Yes. Every Scheduler placement carries a replacement guarantee. Guarantee terms are confirmed in writing at engagement start.

Can you build out a full project controls department?

Yes. Multi-hire project-controls builds (Director + Sr Schedulers + Cost Engineers + Claims Specialists) route through embedded recruiting or RPO. Common for GCs standing up mission-critical verticals.

How is iRecruit.co different from a generalist scheduling recruiter?

Generalist recruiters treat all P6 users as interchangeable. iRecruit.co Scheduler recruiters verify logic quality and TIA fluency — every candidate is matched to your delay-analysis exposure, not just software fluency.
