These are position categories—not company types—and representative titles are listed on the Construction Leadership page.
Does Bridge Partners recruit nationwide?
Yes. Bridge Partners conducts Multifamily Renovation searches nationwide.
Does Bridge Partners work only on executive positions?

Bridge Partners recruits across the organization, including field leadership, project management, operations, Preconstruction, Estimating, Business Development, executive leadership, and select corporate functions supporting construction operations.
Do candidates pay Bridge Partners?
No. Candidates never pay a recruiting fee. The hiring company pays the recruiting fee.
Is Bridge Partners a job board or traditional employment agency?
No. Bridge Partners works on specific searches for client companies while building long-term relationships with experienced professionals across Multifamily Renovation construction.
Will Bridge Partners send my résumé to multiple companies?
Bridge Partners does not submit a résumé or share candidate information with a prospective employer without the candidate’s authorization. Opportunities are discussed with the candidate before any introduction is made.
Do I have to be actively looking for a job to speak with Bridge Partners?

Can candidate conversations remain confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality is taken seriously, and candidate information is not distributed without permission.
Can employer searches remain confidential?
Yes. Confidential searches can be handled discreetly when the situation requires it.
When should an employer contact Bridge Partners?
It may make sense to call when qualified candidates are not applying, the people you want are already employed, a search is confidential, you are entering a new market, internal leadership does not have time to recruit, or you can see an upcoming hiring need and want to get ahead of it.
Does Market Rate renovation experience translate directly to Affordable Housing renovation?
Not always. Affordable Housing and LIHTC rehabilitation can add layers such as tenant-in-place construction, resident relocation, compliance, Housing Authority requirements, accessibility scopes, inspections, and occupied-unit scheduling. Some projects may also involve HUD affordable housing programs. Relevant experience should be evaluated against the actual construction model.
How does Bridge Partners charge employers?
Bridge Partners works on a contingency basis based on an agreed percentage of the placed candidate’s annual base salary.
