Artisan Recruiting is a boutique search firm specializing in high-end residential construction. I partner with custom home builders, owner’s representatives, architects, and specialized subcontractors to place proven talent across complex, confidential, and design-driven projects.
I take an “Artisan” approach to every search. Building real relationships with real people across key construction markets.
I understand the nuance, craftsmanship, and discretion required in the $5M–$80M+ custom home market, and prioritize quality over volume in everything I do.
That is the nature of Artisan Recruiting.As the owner of Artisan, I am involved in every part of the search. I grew up on construction sites alongside my father, and began my construction career over a decade ago. That foundation shapes how I work—grounded in a practical understanding of the build process, the people behind it, and what it takes to execute at a high level.
Placing great folks with great companies where they can have a meaningful impact and be happy where they work, doing so with the utmost integrity and professionalism.

The name Artisan Recruiting comes from the Hebrew word Charash (חָרָשׁ), referring to highly skilled professionals who built God’s temple—dedicated craftsmen working with precision and purpose. Just as these artisans shaped the temple by hand, today, we continue to build God’s temple—not with wood and stone, but through the skillful kingdom work of sharing Christ’s death and resurrection for sinners. As a Christian– this is my highest aim in life.
As a company, Artisan also stands for the precision, care, and quality that I bring to my work.
In a world of automated, rushed, impersonal hiring and recruiting, Artisan's aim is to simply build relationships with the right people and match them with the right companies in the right roles that honor their gifts and build better companies.
The drafting compass in the logo symbolizes both this divine craftsmanship and a quality & relational recruiting process. Good old-fashioned recruiting work in the construction space.
