About Heron Wolf – Our 6 stage playbook

1. Focused and Independent

We are a specialized civil construction and commercial real estate staffing firm, not a sales/KPI-driven global machine. We’ve won awards for how we operate and will win more. After years inside large agencies, we saw firsthand how traditional firms prioritized shareholder returns over meaningful, lasting service. With zero external investors, we move quickly, operate uniquely, and align our interests directly with those we serve. Heron Wolf was founded to shatter outdated industry practices.

Heron Wolf was recognized as Construction Business Review's Top USA Construction Staffing Firm of 2024 and Top 5 US based firm by the Global Recruiter Awards.

2. A Model Built for You, Not for Shareholders

We are not commission driven and we don’t chase rigid sales targets. Our consultants focus on one thing: securing the right hire or role for you, without the pressure to push placements for numbers. Without those pressures distorting decisions, our approach is built on real alignment allowing you to experience objective consultation.

3. Tailored Solutions, Not One-Size-Fits-All

We combine real-time company & market data with deep industry insight to create custom hiring solutions. No automated, cookie-cutter processes. We take the time to understand your specific challenges and deliver solutions that actually work.

4. Experienced

Unlike a lot of large global agencies where staff turnover is high, our specialist consultants have an average tenure of over 13 years, four times the industry norm. That means when you work with us, you work with professionals who truly understand your field, located in the areas you work, not someone figuring it out as they go. You wouldn’t trust someone that calls themselves an industry "expert" with only a few months of experience, and neither do we.

5. A Fear-Free Culture

We don’t operate under a culture of desperation, rigid KPIs, or high-pressure sales tactics. That means our team makes decisions based on support, strategy and long-term success, not short-term quotas. We foster an environment where we’re not afraid to think differently to drive results where innovative thinking thrives and results always comes first.

6. We Invest in the Future of Our Industries

We don’t just fill roles, we take proactive steps to invest in the heavy civil & commercial real estate industries. Like supporting the next generation through our Heron Wolf Scholarships for aspiring engineers and real estate professionals, contributions to industry literature, and partnerships with key associations. The success of our sectors directly impacts our work, so giving back isn’t optional, it’s essential.
