Recruiting for Construction, Manufacturing, and Engineering Teams
2H Talent partners with companies across the United States to help them hire technical and project-based talent through proactive sourcing, market insight, and consistent candidate pipelines. We understand that hiring in these industries requires more than posting jobs—it requires relationships, credibility, and deep knowledge of how work actually gets done.
A Recruiting Partner Built for Your Industry
2H Talent is a recruiting partner focused on industries where hiring is relationship-driven, project-based, and highly specialized. Unlike general recruiting firms, we work exclusively with companies in construction, manufacturing, engineering, and industrial environments.
Our approach focuses on long-term hiring success, not just filling individual roles. We invest time understanding your company culture, project cycles, and the specific technical skills your teams need to succeed. This depth of understanding allows us to identify candidates who won't just fill a position—they'll contribute meaningfully to your operations.
We work with companies ranging from regional contractors to national manufacturers, providing the same level of partnership and expertise regardless of company size. Our goal is simple: help you build stronger teams with less friction and more confidence.

Expertise
Industry Expertise That Makes the Difference
2H Talent focuses exclusively on construction, manufacturing, and engineering recruiting. These industries require a fundamentally different recruiting approach than general corporate hiring. The candidates who succeed in these roles are motivated by different factors, work in different environments, and evaluate opportunities through a different lens.
Project-Based Hiring Cycles
We understand how project timelines drive hiring urgency and how to align recruiting efforts with your operational needs and bid schedules.
Field vs Office Roles
From site superintendents to project engineers, we know the distinct requirements and expectations for field-based versus office-based positions.
Technical Skill Requirements
We speak the language of your industry—whether it's understanding trade certifications, software proficiencies, or equipment operation expertise.
Deep Market Knowledge
Because of this specialization, we are able to identify and engage candidates who are not actively applying but are open to the right opportunity. We understand regional labor markets, compensation expectations, and what motivates candidates in industrial environments.
Recruiting in these industries is about relationships, credibility, and understanding how work actually gets done in the field and in production environments. Our team has spent years building networks within construction, manufacturing, and engineering communities, giving us access to talent that other recruiters simply cannot reach.
"The best candidates in construction, manufacturing, and engineering aren't always looking—but they're always listening to the right opportunity from the right partner."
How We Partner With You
Every company hires differently. 2H Talent offers flexible recruiting partnership options depending on hiring volume, urgency, and long-term needs. Whether you need ongoing talent pipeline support or a focused search for a critical leadership role, we adapt our approach to fit your specific situation.
1
Talent Partner Model
Designed for companies with ongoing hiring needs. We operate as an extension of your hiring team by continuously sourcing candidates, building talent pipelines, and providing market insight. This model supports multiple open roles simultaneously while creating hiring visibility and reducing overall recruiting costs. Best for companies making 2+ hires annually who want consistent access to qualified talent.
2
Retained Search
Best for critical or leadership hires where dedicated search focus is needed. This approach includes a dedicated search strategy, targeted outreach, structured candidate process, and market mapping. We work in close collaboration with your leadership team to ensure alignment at every stage. Ideal for senior roles, specialized positions, or hires that significantly impact company operations.
3
Contingency Recruiting
For individual hiring needs where you want support without upfront commitment. We provide targeted sourcing and candidate screening, with fees only due upon successful placement. This option works well for companies with occasional hiring needs or those wanting to test our partnership approach before committing to a longer-term engagement.
Measurable Results You Can Count On
2H Talent focuses on delivering measurable recruiting outcomes for clients in construction, manufacturing, and engineering. Our goal is to help companies hire with more confidence and less friction, creating sustainable talent acquisition processes that support long-term growth.
We measure success not just by placements made, but by the quality of those placements, the efficiency of the hiring process, and the long-term retention of the candidates we help you hire. Our clients become partners because they see tangible improvements in their recruiting outcomes.
