Bakersfield, California · Recruiting for contractors and utilities across California, and nationwide for select engagements

RECRUITMENT · STAFFING · CHANGE MANAGEMENT

Recruitment, staffing and consulting for critical industries.

We recruit the people who build and run critical infrastructure: electricians, project managers, estimators, and engineers for construction firms and utilities. When you need staffing for your team, or help making enterprise change stick, we do that too.

WHY IC

Most recruiters have never run a job. Our people have worked every side of one.

Owner, EPC teams, prime, and subcontractor each see a project differently. Our team has worked from all four, so we know what a strong foreman, project manager, or estimator looks like before we start a search, and we screen for it.

01

Owner

Accountable for scope, budget, and regulatory commitments.

02

EPC

Turns design into a buildable, sequenced plan.

03

Prime

Carries schedule and cost risk and manages the subs.

04

Subcontractor

Builds the work in the field, inside outage windows and work rules.

Recruitment & direct hire

03

Change management consulting

Readiness, training, and adoption for new systems and reorganizations, plus PMO stand-up and AI governance readiness when a program needs structure.

OUR APPROACH

How we recruit

01

We learn the job before we search.

Scope, crew, license, travel radius, and pay come first, so every candidate fits the work, not just the title.

02

Recruiters who know the work.

Our team has run electrical and capital work, so screening covers what candidates have actually built.

03

A short slate, not a stack.

Each candidate comes with a one-page statement of qualifications that explains how they fit your role, with an easy-to-read resume behind it.

04

Candidates who arrive prepared.

Before every interview, candidates review the role requirements, understand your needs, and learn more about your company.
