TalentStream for AEC

AEC hiring, without
the agency markup.

Dedicated recruiting capacity for field, technical, and professional roles across AEC — priced as Revolving Capacity, not a placement fee.

NO PLACEMENT FEE — NO RECRUITER SALARY — NO RAMP-UP TIME
The Problem

AEC hiring spans more roles than one recruiter can cover.

A growing engineering or construction firm might need a surveyor, a geotechnical technician, a structural engineer, and a project estimator — all in the same hiring cycle, each sourced through a different channel and network.

The role mix is wide

From certified field techs to licensed design engineers, no single sourcing channel or internal recruiter covers the full range well.

Recruiter fees stack up

Agency placements for specialized AEC roles routinely run 20–25% of first-year salary, per fill — across a list that rarely looks the same twice.

Internal teams are stretched thin

HR and ops are juggling sourcing and screening across wildly different role types — and reqs sit open for weeks.

Coverage

One partner across the roles you're actually hiring.

Civil, geotechnical, environmental, and construction-side firms rarely have one tidy hiring need — TalentStream AEC is built to cover the full mix.

The Fix

One slot, any role on your AEC hiring list.

It's wider distribution and active sourcing, together. TalentStream AEC puts your openings in front of more people across top platforms — and then goes further, actively sourcing and screening across field, technical, and professional roles, from certified inspectors and surveyors to structural and civil engineers, to deliver a continuously refreshed pool of vetted, interview-ready candidates directly to you.

You get Revolving Capacity: a slot that refills as you hire, scaling up when you're hiring hard and down when you're not, regardless of which role fills it next.

Case Study

From stacked agency fees to one subscription.

3/3
ROLES COVERED
Challenge

An AEC firm needed three very different roles filled at once — a CMT technician, a Certified Welding Inspector, and a Civil Design Engineer — while paying 20–25% agency fees on top of an internal team already stretched thin.

Approach

TalentStream stepped in with a single Core tier subscription — three Revolving Capacity slots covering the full mix, sourced and screened end-to-end, no per-placement fee added on top.

Result

All three roles now run through one flat-rate subscription instead of a mix of internal strain and stacked agency invoices.

FAQ

Common questions.

We already have an internal recruiter — why would we need this?+
TalentStream AEC is built for overflow and specialized hiring — field, technical, or professional — not as a replacement for your internal team. It adds dedicated capacity exactly where certification requirements, licensure, or a narrow candidate pool slow things down.
How is this different from a staffing agency?+
No per-placement fee. You're paying for ongoing recruiting capacity, not a percentage of salary every time a role fills — typically leaner than the 20–25% agency model, since that fee structure also has to price in turnover and liability risk that doesn't apply here.
Is this just posting our jobs on more boards?+
Both, but distribution is only half of it. We put your openings in front of more people across top platforms — and then go further, actively sourcing and screening beyond who applies inbound, so each slot stays stocked with a vetted, interview-ready candidate pool instead of depending on whoever happens to apply.
What if our hiring slows down?+
Revolving Capacity scales with you — drop down a tier when volume slows, scale up when it picks back up.
