The construction and real estate sector in Atlantic Canada

Atlantic Canada has seen sustained activity in residential development, commercial construction, infrastructure and mixed-use real estate. The sector employs senior professionals across project management, development, operations, finance and executive leadership, and the competition for experienced people at those levels is real.

Senior people in construction and real estate are a practical group. They are recruited through trusted relationships, not job postings. The best project executives and development leaders are known quantities in this market, and reaching them takes someone they already trust.

What to expect from Hawthorne

Hawthorne runs retained, exclusive searches and takes on a limited number at once, so your mandate gets real attention. Shortlists are small and assessed, not large and optimistic.
