// About the company

Why HICONSTRUCT LTD keeps getting called back after the first hire

We started in 2012 with one recruiter, a folding table in a San Francisco co-working space and a stubborn belief: most hiring problems are not "finding resumes" problems, they are decision problems. Recruiters send too many weak profiles, managers do not have time to interview properly, and nobody owns what happens in month two after the person starts.

So HICONSTRUCT LTD built a different operating model. One dedicated team per client, one shared tracker, a written feedback deadline of 48 hours for every submitted profile that we have enforced since 2015, and a ninety-day onboarding plan that the hiring manager actually signs. It is slower than blasting 400 resumes. It is also the reason our clients still open the door for the next role.

Today we work with employers across the United States — a Series B SaaS team in Austin, a 30-store retail group in Ohio and Michigan, a manufacturer in Wisconsin, a logistics operator running three shifts. Different industries, same question: who do we trust to talk to candidates on Monday morning? HICONSTRUCT LTD answers with a named recruiter and a phone number that a human answers.

Read our story
// What we hold ourselves to
  • Every shortlist is read by a recruiter, not a filter. If two people on the team disagree, a third reads it.
  • Feedback due within 48 hours — hiring managers get a nudge if they go quiet.
  • A replacement window of 90 days on every permanent placement. If the hire leaves for reasons connected to the role, the search repeats at no fee.
  • Reporting you can read in five minutes: funnel, sources, cost per hire, time to fill.
  • We work nationwide from four regional pods. Same service level in Boise as in Boston.

Eight ways HICONSTRUCT LTD plugs into your people operation

Tap or hover any tile to see what is included, what it costs and how fast it moves. Prices are the ones our clients actually sign off on.

Bright open-plan US office where a recruiting team reviews candidate files at a long wooden table
From $2,400 per relocation

Relocation and visa support

Visas, travel, temporary housing, first-week logistics and a local contact for the new hire. We have moved engineers into roles in 12 states without a missed start date.

Most requested for international hires and people relocating for family reasons. Document preparation, airport pickup and a 30-day settling-in checklist are included in the standard package.

Software engineer photographed at a desk with code on the monitor

IT and digital staffing

Backend, frontend, QA, data and product people from a bench of pre-vetted engineers who already know how US teams work.

22% of first-year salary

Profiles arrive with a full take-home test and a two-hour technical conversation already done. Typical delivery: 3 days for a shortlist, 14 days for a closed role.

Screening specialist checking candidate documents at a tidy desk

Candidate screening

Employment history, identity and reference checks handled by people, not a dropdown. Turnaround in 48 to 72 hours.

From $65 per candidate

The standard pack starts at $65 per candidate and includes reference verification; criminal record and credit history are optional modules, and a full pre-employment pack for one candidate comes to $145. Candidates receive a short note explaining what is checked and why, which quietly cuts drop-off.

HR analyst reviewing hiring funnel charts on a large screen

HR analytics

Cost per hire, time to fill, source quality, offer acceptance — instrumented weekly and explained in plain language.

From $1,800 per quarter

We connect to the ATS you already run and publish a monthly one-pager: where the funnel leaks, which channel actually hires, and what to stop paying for.

Outsourced recruiting team working together in a modern US office

Recruitment outsourcing

Hand us the whole hiring function: sourcing, screening, scheduling, offers. You keep the final say on every candidate.

From $7,900 per month

Typical scope: three to six open roles at once. We place up to 200 workers into your payroll for production and warehouse clients, with document handling included. You remain the employer of record, and the payroll scope is written into the statement of work. Where the scope covers payroll administration and onboarding as well as sourcing, that is written into the statement of work line by line.

Creative team filming an employer branding video in a daylight studio

Employer branding

Video, careers pages and EVP messaging that make a US candidate want to reply — and stay after the reply.

From $4,500 per project

One shoot day, one edited film, three cutdowns for social and a careers page rewrite. Candidates mention the page in interviews more often than not.

Executive candidate meeting hiring leaders in a bright boardroom

Executive search

C-level and director searches run quietly, with a market map before we approach anyone.

25% of first-year salary

We map 120 to 200 comparable profiles, run a discreet approach, and keep you on the same page weekly. Most director roles close inside 8 weeks.

Career coach reviewing a CV with a departing employee at a table

Outplacement support

A humane exit for people you trust: CV refresh, interview drills, and access to live openings.

From $950 per person

Departing employees get six coaching sessions, a rewritten CV, a mock interview loop and first access to our open roles. Clients keep the reputation they built.

Tell us the role. We will tell you honestly whether we can fill it.

If HICONSTRUCT LTD is not the right partner for a role, we will say so in the first call and point you to someone better. That happens maybe twice a month, and those referrals still come back as clients later.

// How the work runs

Five steps, one owner, no mystery

Hover a step to see what HICONSTRUCT LTD does while you wait. Every requisition has a named recruiter and a published deadline.

  • 01

    Brief

    We sit down with the hiring manager and map the business problem behind the job title: what breaks if this role stays open for another quarter, who the person will work with, and which skills are real requirements versus wishful thinking.

  • 02

    Search

    Three channels run in parallel: our own bench, partner networks across the United States, and direct outreach to named candidates. Every profile is read by a human before it reaches you — no auto-forwarded lists.

  • 03

    Assessment

    Structured interviews with a written scorecard, a role-specific test for technical roles, and reference calls with the same questions we ask you. You get the scorecard, not just a verdict.

  • 04

    Offer

    We benchmark the package against the US market for that title and city, model competing offers, and prepare the closing documents. You see the numbers before the candidate does.

  • 05

    Onboarding

    Ninety days of structured follow-up: week one setup, day thirty feedback, day ninety a joint review. If the fit breaks, the replacement window opens and the search repeats at no extra fee.

// Retail group · 30 stores

12 roles in 6 weeks

A 30-store retailer in Ohio and Michigan needed shift managers and department leads before the holiday season. HICONSTRUCT LTD ran sourcing and screening in parallel across both states, and quarterly turnover fell from 38% to 26% over the following year.

// SaaS product team

8 backend engineers

An Austin product company scaled the platform team while cutting cloud spend. Eight backend engineers joined over three months; seven of the eight made it through probation, and two were promoted inside a year.

// Manufacturing plant

15% lower labour cost per unit

A Wisconsin manufacturer needed the same output from a smaller permanent headcount. We rebuilt shift patterns, handled documentation and cross-trained leads, which cut labour cost per unit by 15% without touching quality numbers.

// Why teams stay

Six reasons HICONSTRUCT LTD is still on the shortlist

Speed

First qualified profiles land in your inbox within three working days. Standard roles close in roughly two weeks, and we report every Friday where the pipeline stands.

Quality

Ninety-seven percent of the people HICONSTRUCT LTD places pass their probation period. When a hire does not work out for reasons connected to the role, the replacement search is repeated at no fee.

Transparency

You see the whole funnel: who applied, who was screened, who declined and why. No black boxes, no "we found someone" mystery, no surprise invoices at the end of the quarter.

Specialisation

IT and digital, retail operations, manufacturing and people leadership — four markets we know inside out, including the pay bands and the awkward conversations that go with each.

Flexibility

One vacancy, a seasonal surge, or the entire hiring function handed over — the model scales with your budget, and nothing changes in how we answer the phone.

Tooling

Our own dashboard tracks every requisition, source and candidate stage, and produces the monthly report without anyone at your side rebuilding a spreadsheet at 9pm on a Friday.

// The pod

Five people you will actually talk to

The HICONSTRUCT LTD pod is deliberately small. You get the recruiter who ran your search, not a handoff to a stranger after the contract is signed.

Founder & Managing Director

"I started the company after ten years on the client side, where I watched good teams lose good people to slow, vague recruiting. We run the way I wish recruiting had been run for me."

Head of IT Recruitment

"Engineers can smell a generic profile within ten seconds. Every resume I send has a conversation behind it, and I explain why that person fits your stack."

"Most hiring problems are reporting problems in disguise. Once you can see where the funnel leaks, half the arguments disappear on their own."

"Sourcing is detective work. The people nobody else bothers to call are usually the ones who stay the longest."

"A candidate decides in about nine seconds whether your company looks like it will keep its promises. We fix those nine seconds."

Andrey, CEO of an IT company

"Three months and eight backend engineers hired, and seven of the eight are still with us, which honestly surprised me. The feedback loop was fast — sometimes within hours, not weeks."

CEO, IT product company
Elena, HR director of a retail network

"We handed them the hiring for all thirty stores. Turnover dropped, and for the first time the process was visible to everybody involved instead of living in one spreadsheet."

Pavel, plant director

"Two hundred workers hired in two months. Visas, documents, onboarding training — they took it on and did not pass the headache back to us."

Svetlana, startup founder

"Their executive search found our CTO and had them start within six weeks. Without them the launch date would have slipped, and the whole raise would have looked different."
