Step 01

Talk to our team

30-minute call. We align on annual hiring volume and mix (field, office, craft), the ATS in place (Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, Bullhorn, Workday Recruiting), team size, agency spend today, and your start date.

Step 02

Why iRecruit.co

What makes our Talent Acquisition Manager shortlist different

They have recruited this industry

Filling superintendent and senior PM seats in a market where everyone is hiring is its own craft. Our candidates have done it — direct sourcing, referral engines, and craft pipelines — not just processed requisitions in a corporate queue.

Metrics they can defend

We press on the numbers: requisition load, time-to-fill by role family, offer-accept rates, agency-spend reduction. Candidates who cannot defend their metrics with specifics do not reach your shortlist.

Builders of function, not just fillers

Reference-verified experience standing up or upgrading the TA function — ATS implementation, interview training, employer brand, campus and veteran programs — sized to a contractor’s growth plan.

Vetting Criteria

FAQ

Hiring a Talent Acquisition Manager

How long does it take to hire?

Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks. Total time to placement is typically 3–5 weeks. Good TA leaders are visible in their market, so confidential handling is standard on request.

What does it cost?

Pricing depends on engagement model. Most TA Manager searches route through contingent recruiting support. If hiring cannot wait for the leader, embedded recruiting or RPO can carry the load while the search runs.

What does a Talent Acquisition Manager earn in 2026?

Most US TA Managers in construction earn $100,000–$140,000 base plus bonus. Leaders running high-volume or multi-region functions for large GCs and mission-critical builders reach $140,000–$160,000.

Should we hire a TA Manager or use RPO?

They solve different problems — and often work best together. A TA Manager builds durable internal capability; RPO delivers surge capacity and process instantly. We will give you a straight read on sequencing for your volume.

Do you offer a placement guarantee?

Yes. Every placement carries a replacement guarantee, regardless of engagement model.

How is iRecruit.co different?
