Naples-based. Serving construction companies across all of Florida.

Who we are

One industry. One point of
contact. And one motto:
helping people.

Whelton Recruiters is a Naples-based executive search firm that works exclusively in construction.

We partner with general contractors, developers and specialty firms across Florida to find the leaders their projects depend on, and we help candidates land roles where they’ll build their best work.

Every search is run personally, from the first call to the first day on site. No hand-offs, no account managers, no black box.

What we Do

Recruiting for every seat that runs a project.

From preconstruction to closeout, we place the people who carry responsibility for the schedule, the budget and the crew.

Project Managers

Leaders who own the client
relationship, the budget and the schedule from award to closeout.

Superintendents

On-site leaders who run the crews, the trades and the day-to-day on ground-up builds.

Estimators & Preconstruction

Estimating and preconstruction experts who manage budgets, assess costs, and secure projects.

Sectors we specialise in:

For employers

Fill critical roles without
the guesswork.

You get vetted, interview-ready candidates who have already built what you’re building.

For candidates

Find where you build best.

Confidential conversations, honest advice, and support from first call to first day, including relocation.

Why Whelton

Not another
recruiting
agency.

We’re a specialist search partner that knows the jobsite as well as the job description.

Construction is all we do

We don't split our focus across IT, healthcare and retail. We know the difference between a Superintendent and a Project Executive, and what each one needs to succeed.

One recruiter, start to finish

You speak with the person running your search every time. No junior hand-offs and no call centres. Just direct, accountable communication.

Real connections, not job-board blasts

Candidates come through a network built across Florida's construction community, including strong people who aren't actively looking.

Speed without shortcuts

Most searches produce interview-ready candidates within a week of kickoff, each screened for experience, fit and long-term stability.

Risk-free, contingency terms

There's no retainer and nothing upfront. You only pay when the right person accepts the offer.

A straightforward process designed around busy project teams.
