Perfect on paper and in person.. but not perfect for the job. We recently hired a Senior Project Manager for an architectural millwork firm outside of Denver. He presented exceptionally, passed our extensive process, and had (multiple) incredible on-site conversations with ownership - even discussing an equity track in the near future. Yet, within two weeks of his start, he put in his notice as he was offered a different position he "couldn't pass up". This was a stark reminder that no matter how great a recruiter or hiring manager you are, we are still working with human beings. All parties involved were stunned.. except the candidate of course. We pride ourselves on a low refill rate - but sometimes we are reminded - people are people. This industry will never be black and white. It’s as much an art as it is a science. Sometimes, things happens. Always be wary of anyone promising 100% certainty in hiring. Embrace the human element and understand that unpredictability is part of the game. An effective search partner knows how to account for most variables - but it will never be absolute. (Don't worry - we already have submitted replacement candidates) . . . #hiring #recruiting #construction #bybmym

My Approach to Hiring Architects: Creativity, Originality, and Commitment I believe hiring the right architects is critical to success in our field. Different roles—whether junior or senior—come with their own set of expectations, and I’ve developed a clear approach to evaluating the qualities that matter most. Junior Architects: The Power of a Well-Crafted Portfolio When it comes to junior architects, the portfolio speaks volumes. I look at how well the material is structured and presented. The flow of lines and the overall layout reflect a candidate’s ability to think creatively and communicate ideas clearly. Portfolios filled with too many rough concepts can be overwhelming. I prefer to see one strong, well-developed idea that demonstrates focus and attention to detail. Senior Architects: Experience and Stability Matter For senior positions, experience is crucial. Stability in a candidate’s career shows commitment and respect for the employer. Those who stay with a company for a few years are more likely to make a meaningful impact than those constantly moving between roles. Originality Over Imitation Architecture is about invention, not replication. I value candidates who show a clear creative process and produce unique ideas rather than those who simply recreate what’s already been done. I look for individuals with a distinct voice and perspective. Motivation and Alignment Understanding what drives an architect is vital. I always ask about their motivation, and if their vision aligns with mine, it’s a good sign we’ll work well together. That’s why I invest significant time in interviews – to ensure we’re the right fit for each other.
