AGENTC is a Toronto-based recruiting firm specializing in hard-to-fill Construction Technology (ConTech) roles across BIM and VDC, from senior technical specialists through Director and VP-level leadership, serving clients across Canada and the United States.
• General contractors and construction technology firms hiring for hard-to-fill BIM, VDC, or Construction Technology roles, at any level from senior technical specialist to Director or VP
• Organizations where a weak technology hire means clash-detection failures downstream, schedule slippage, and GC penalty exposure
• Firms that need a search partner who understands the difference between a BIM Manager and a VDC leader who can actually own model coordination across trades
BIM and VDC leadership is still a young enough discipline that most recruiters can't tell a strong candidate from a resume that just uses the right software names. The real cost of a wrong hire here isn't visible in week one. It shows up months later as clash-detection failures that make it to the field, coordination breakdowns between trades, and GC penalty clauses getting triggered on a project that should have been caught in the model.
We define what "right" looks like for this specific seat before contacting anyone, built around your project pipeline and coordination complexity, not a generic BIM job description.
You approve the candidate profile before the search launches. No sourcing against an assumption.
Every candidate you see has been through at least two structured calls first.
The strongest VDC and BIM leaders are employed, busy, and not scrolling job boards. They respond to a real opportunity outline, not a posting.
12-month off-limits clause on your organization, standard in every engagement.
If it doesn't work out, capped against the originally signed profile, we run it again.
Retained, milestone-based fee model. One accountable search partner, fixed structure agreed upfront, no contingency guessing game with three other firms racing to the same candidate.
AGENTC is led by Ghaz Syed, over 10 years in retained, relationship-driven executive search, now focused on Manufacturing and Construction Technology leadership. Solo-operator model by design: one accountable lead on your search, not a junior desk.
All hard-to-fill roles in BIM and VDC, from senior technical specialists through Director and VP-level leadership, primarily for general contractors and construction technology firms in Canada and the United States.
Yes. A BIM Manager typically owns model production. A VDC leader owns coordination across trades and disciplines, and the wrong hire in that seat is what leads to clash-detection failures reaching the field. Scoping this correctly before sourcing is the first thing we do.
Retained. One committed search per engagement.
