For Candidates
You’re not looking. That’s exactly why we’re calling.
Who We Reach Out To
Over 80% of the professionals we place weren’t looking for a new position when we first contacted them. They were busy doing exceptional work — running projects, leading teams, building careers. That’s precisely who we look for.
The Midelis Group does not recruit from job boards or work with candidates who are mass-applying to open listings. We identify high-performing professionals in the construction, engineering, and real estate development industries and reach out directly — because the opportunities we represent are not posted anywhere publicly, and the clients we represent expect the best.
If you’ve received a call or email from us, it means someone in our network spoke highly of you, or your work caught our attention. We don’t reach out randomly.
What You Can Expect From Us
Many of the professionals in our network have worked with us across multiple career moves over 10, 15, even 20 years. We stay in touch. We check in. We don’t disappear after a placement is made.
Complete confidentiality.
Every conversation with us stays with us until you decide otherwise.
Your information goes nowhere without your explicit approval — not to a client, not to a third party, not anywhere. We understand that discretion is everything when you’re employed and simply exploring.Honest counsel.
We have turned down fees because the match wasn't right.
If after learning more about a position we both agree it isn’t the right fit, we move on. We have advised candidates to stay in their current role.
Direct access.
We don't send your resume into a black hole.
When we present you to a client, you go directly to the decision makers — the presidents, business unit leaders, and hiring authorities who actually determine who gets the offer.
Real preparation.
A candidate we prepare walks in with a significant advantage.
Before any interview, we brief you thoroughly — on the client’s culture, leadership style, what they’re really looking for, and what questions to expect.The Opportunities We Represent
The positions we recruit for are senior, consequential, and — in most cases — not listed anywhere. Our clients include some of the most respected firms in the construction and real estate development world, and they rely on us to fill roles they cannot fill on their own.
Typical positions include:
- Presidents & Chief Executive Officers
- Vice Presidents & Business Unit Leaders
- Chief Financial Officers
- Directors of Construction & Operations
- Directors of Preconstruction and Estimating
- Senior Project Managers
- Project Executives
- Scheduling Directors
- Superintendents Safety Professionals & Field Leadership
If your background is in construction, engineering, or real estate development and you are open to hearing about the right opportunity, we’d like to know you.
What Our Candidates Say
With nearly 30 years in the industry, our clientele speaks for it all.
“I was not actively looking to make a change. James provided great information and made me feel very comfortable considering a move — and it turned into a tremendous opportunity for my career.”
“Jim did not waiver from what I was looking for and did not bring every opportunity to me if he felt it didn’t fit my criteria. After several months, he brought an opportunity that was a perfect fit — with one of the premier construction management firms in Florida.”
“Jim spent an inordinate amount of time talking to me about not only my career history, but things that related to me personally and my family — to get a better understanding of who I was and where a good fit would be in a cultural sense. I highly recommend The Midelis Group to anyone looking to find a better career path.”
