Building Great Teams
From the Ground Up.

Helping construction companies attract and hire top performers.

HOW WE STARTED

Husband & Wife Construction Recruiting Team

We’re Corey and Khadijah, partners in life and business. We started Ground Up Construction Recruiting because we knew there was a better and more cost-efficient way to solve the recruiting problem that construction companies face.

 

We are dedicated to connecting the best professionals with purpose-driven companies, guided by our faith and a commitment to building relationships with integrity and care.

OUR VALUE

Our Approach to Building Your Ideal Team

Strategic Alignment

We start by getting to know your company inside and out. Our goal is to understand your culture, project types, mission/vision, and hiring needs to ensure our companies align. 

STRATEGY SESSION

Next, we hold a focused planning session to clarify your hiring priorities, timeline, and ideal candidate profile. This ensures our recruiting strategy aligns with your internal process and keeps the search efficient and on track.

SOURCING

We tap into our construction-specific network to identify and engage top talent, including professionals who aren’t actively job searching. Our approach blends direct outreach, referrals, and targeted networking. 

OUTREACH & SCREENING

Every interested candidate we contact goes through our screening process to assess their experience, motivation, and culture fit. By the time you see recommended candidates to interview, you’re only reviewing highly qualified individuals who align with your company’s goals and culture.

CANDIDATE RECOMMENDATIONS

We provide detailed write-ups for each candidate, offering context beyond their resume. You’ll understand why they’re a strong match and how they can contribute to your team before the first interview even happens.

ONGOING SUPPORT

Our partnership doesn’t stop when the role is filled. We stay involved to support onboarding, retention, and long-term workforce planning. We also provide insight into market trends, compensation, and strategies for future growth.
