Client Questions
What is an Executive Search Firm?
An executive search firm specializes in recruiting top-tier talent for critical, hard-to-fill roles. Unlike traditional staffing agencies that focus on high-volume or entry-level placements, we focus on identifying and securing highly skilled professionals who are often not actively seeking new opportunities.
What types of candidates can Tamarack Search Group find that I wouldn't be able to find on my own?
We go beyond job boards and résumés. Our strength lies in uncovering and engaging passive candidates—those not actively job hunting—through a blend of direct outreach, referrals, and creative sourcing strategies. Combined with our proprietary database and industry network, we connect you with candidates you’re unlikely to find through traditional means.
How does Tamarack learn and communicate our company culture to candidates?
We take time to understand what makes your company unique—through leadership conversations, key messaging, and what’s shared publicly. From there, we translate that into a compelling narrative for candidates, ensuring we highlight the values, work environment, and growth opportunities that set you apart.
How long will a search take?
While we aim to fill roles as efficiently as possible, timelines can vary based on the position, market conditions, and candidate availability. At the start of every search, we evaluate your specific needs and discuss factors that could speed up or slow down the process. Because each role is different, flexibility and clear communication are key to helping us deliver the best possible outcome.
What industry does Tamarack recruit for?
We specialize in recruiting for the AEC industry—Architecture, Engineering, and Construction. Our focus is on placing highly skilled professionals in roles where technical expertise, leadership, and industry experience are critical to success.
Do you only place permanent hires, or do you offer contract and temporary staffing as well?
We offer both direct hire and contract staffing solutions. Whether you're hiring for a long-term leadership role or need short-term support for a project, we can tailor the search to fit your timeline and staffing needs.
Candidate Questions
Does Tamarack work on behalf of professionals seeking a new opportunity?
We work on behalf of our clients to fill specific roles, but we are always networking with professionals in the AEC space. If your background aligns with an opportunity we’re engaged on, we’ll reach out directly to explore mutual interest.
How does Tamarack support candidates?
We provide access to opportunities that often aren’t advertised publicly. Once mutual interest is established, we’ll share detailed role and company information. Throughout the process, we offer interview tips, coaching, timely feedback, and support—even after the hire—to help ensure long-term success.
Is there a cost to candidates?
No. Our services are paid for by the client companies we represent—there is never a cost to you as a candidate.
How do I get on your radar for future opportunities?
The best way is to send us your resume and a brief overview of what you're looking for—industry, role, location, and career goals. Even if we don’t have a current match, we regularly review our network when new searches come in. Staying connected increases the chance we’ll reach out when the right opportunity comes along.
