Philosophy

At Burns Magee, we strive to live by our philosophy: Deliver maximum value to our client companies through total devotion to addressing their diverse human resource needs. Because of this, our clients have consistently retained us to identify, evaluate, and attract the highest caliber industry talent. We have successfully completed searches from project engineers to the CEO level. We are committed to the effective use of our extensive network of candidates and business leaders as well as the use of the newest information technologies; consequently, we spend liberally on primary research in order to provide the most comprehensive and expeditious service to our clients.

Our aspirations are not of being the largest or the most well known search firm in the world, but to being the best search firm for the clients we choose to serve and the first choice within the world of Construction, Engineering, Architecture, and Real Estate. In many cases, that means limiting our client base in geographical areas we choose to operate in.

Our search process is designed to provide the best possible solution for your company - not just a solution. Research, is personally supervised by one of our partner level consultants. At the senior levels, a partner level consultant personally conducts every phase of the search, including reference checks. The search process, which is in many cases intrusive, is handled within our firm with sensitivity, tact and confidentiality. We always strive to act in the best interest of our client company as well as the candidate.

Our intention is to complete searches in half the time indicated by industry standards. Our personal commitment is to exceed your expectations.

Partners in the construction practice posses real world experience and feel equally as comfortable on a job site as we do in the boardroom.
