Location: Miami Beach, FL (South of Fifth – 429 Lenox Avenue)

Position type: Full-time | on-site and hybrid flexibility

Compensation: $60,000 – $75,000 (DOE) + uncapped performance bonuses / placement-split incentives

The Opportunity

HeatherDaniel International (HDi) is a specialist executive search and selection consultancy delivering leadership and technical capital to the global built environment. After building its presence across the UK and New York, HDi is expanding its Florida headquarters in South Beach (SoFi).

We are searching for a high-IQ, outcome-oriented Executive Talent Resourcer & Sourcing Specialist to drive candidate acquisition, competitor mapping and international talent-pipeline expansion. You will not sit behind a screen on a KPI treadmill — you will own market intelligence and host top-tier AEC talent face to face in our South Beach hub.

Key Responsibilities

• Face-to-face hosting: Lead in-person candidate meetings at our SoFi office and rooftop terrace, building high-touch relationships that set HDi apart from remote-only competitors.
• UK to USA relocation sourcing: Spearhead headhunting campaigns targeting UK-trained quantity surveyors, cost managers and commercial executives seeking relocation to high-growth US markets.
• Market research: Conduct systematic research across Tier-1 consultancies and contractors in data centers, high-rise residential, infrastructure and the commercial built environment.
• Database: Own candidate mapping within Bullhorn CRM and maintain dense talent pipelines so that HDi can deliver 5 client-side interviews per open requisition.
• Sourcing execution: Use LinkedIn Recruiter, automation and direct headhunting to engage passive talent before opportunities reach the open market.

Requirements

• AEC sourcing: 2+ years of proven talent sourcing or resourcing within construction, engineering, property or niche technical staffing.
• Relationships: Exceptional interpersonal skills and the confidence to host senior executives and technical candidates in person.
• Research: A strong analytical mindset, with expertise in competitor organisational mapping and passive-talent identification.
• Mobility: Familiarity with international recruitment dynamics (specifically UK-to-US expat pipelines and visas) is highly advantageous.
• Tools: Hands-on experience with Bullhorn (or an equivalent ATS/CRM) and LinkedIn Recruiter.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary: $60,000 – $75,000 (DOE) + uncapped performance bonuses / placement-split incentives.
• Location: Based at 429 Lenox Avenue, Miami Beach (SoFi), with a rooftop terrace, on-site parking and customised start times to avoid highway congestion.
• Progression: Support our $1.5 million revenue target for 2026, with routes into account management or senior search lead roles as HDi scales into Los Angeles and New York.

Why candidates choose HDi

We start with you, not with a requisition to fill. The people we place today are often the clients who hire us tomorrow. That only works if we treat the first conversation with care.

We know what a Quantity Surveyor is. We work in verticals — cost, project advisory, claims and dispute, built-environment leadership, and data center and mission-critical programmes — not as a generalist shop that learns your job from a Wikipedia page.

We are honest about salary and fit, even when the answer is no. We do not mailshot your curriculum vitae. We do not share it without your consent. That promise is written in full on our Candidate Charter.

We stay with you from the first call through interview, offer, resignation and start.

A major statewide consultancy in the United States, headquartered in New York, has hired us on a retainer.

We are working with a major international consultancy and have placed nearly forty people with them this year.

Our Candidate Charter: You are a person, not a placement. We are honest on salary and fit. Your curriculum vitae is never shared without your consent. We reply, even when there is no update. We stay with you through the whole move.
