One standard of delivery. Choose the engagement that fits the seat.
Retained Search
For the appointments you cannot afford to get wrong. A dedicated, exclusive campaign: the full talent landscape mapped, proven passive professionals engaged personally, and clear market intelligence throughout. Built for leadership, confidential and hard-to-fill seats where certainty matters.
Contingent Search
Fast and flexible for active requirements. Carefully qualified professionals from our specialist network, aligned with your technical needs, culture and commercial goals. You pay a fee only when you hire.
Team Build & Office Launch
Opening a new office, entering a new market or scaling at pace. We start with the market itself — who is out there, who leads it, what they earn — then build in the right order: the senior figure who anchors the office first, then the project managers, engineers and technical staff underneath. One point of contact, one coordinated campaign.
A process built for certainty of delivery

Access to people who aren't applying
The engineers and leaders who change a firm's trajectory are rarely on job boards — they're heads-down delivering projects and running teams. Our network reaches them because we've spent years earning their trust with honest advice and confidential handling.
When CiviSearch approaches on your behalf, it isn't a cold call.
Who we work with: privately held consulting engineering firms, from ENR-ranked national platforms to regional specialists. Client names stay confidential here and are shared on the call.
