Ryan Rayner Founder & Lead Recruiter

Ryan Rayner is the founder and driving force behind CiviSearch.

With five years dedicated to the US civil engineering market, Ryan has built a nationwide network and successfully delivered placements across the country — from high-performing Project Managers to Directors, Vice Presidents and market-building leaders.

His edge comes from knowing the market beyond job titles and résumés. Ryan understands the firms, the leadership teams, the compensation structures and the opportunities shaping land development in each region. That insight allows him to recognise exceptional alignment between a candidate and a business long before it becomes obvious on paper.

Ryan founded CiviSearch to create the recruitment partner he believed the industry was missing: specialist, relentless, commercially aware and genuinely invested in both sides of every placement.

His ambition is not simply to fill more roles. It is to build the most trusted and effective land development recruitment firm in the United States — one career-defining placement and business-changing hire at a time.
