About Benchmark Search Group
We’re headhunters. We identify & deliver what you’re looking for.
Why Us?
We have a passion for construction. More specifically, the people within it.
Some say trucking is the lifeblood of the economy – but they are clearly wrong, because without construction there would be no roads for those trucks to drive on! (or ports to ship from and buildings to stock)
.. and it’s the people that make it all happen.
We believe there is no such thing as “clients” and candidates”.. just people, many of which will serve in both roles at different stages in their life. Our approach reflects this belief. We are playing the long game.
Mission
Creating opportunities for others , through the development of ourselves
Recruitment is an energy exchange, and if we are not in constant pursuit of our own greatness – it will be impossible to connect with someone who is in pursuit of theirs

Hey, I’m Pablo, happy to say that within the first 15 minutes of my first call with Isaac I knew I had to join Benchmark Search group and I knew we'd make a great team.
I spend my days finding great people in construction and figuring out ways to make our processes smoother. I’ve been around the block with this stuff—years of matching folks to roles in all kinds of construction companies, from big commercial/civil GCs to semiconductor/high purity subs and everything in between.
I didn't start my recruiting career in Construction, but it is where I'd love to stay in, why? The people. They're just built different, I know you know what I mean.
Outside of work, I’m living the good life. I’ve been married for five years, and last year we had our first kid—a little girl who’s already running the show. I love kicking back with a good book or movie, wandering around on walks with my dog, or grilling up some steaks for the family. If I’m not tossing a ball for the pup or flipping a page, I’m probably just hanging out, enjoying the chaos of dad life.

I’ve been in and around the recruiting world since 2015, and decided to focus on the construction industry exclusively in 2021~. You won’t find a better group of people doing more important work than you will in Construction. This wonderful industry has also only required me to wear a suit to a meeting ONCE, and I’d be just fine keeping it that way.
Recruiting is inherently grey and intangible, and there is a lot you cannot control. As a result I find a lot of solace in hobbies that are black/white, tangible, and.. well.. under my control.
My most recent fixation? Building and riding vintage stand up jetskis.
I was into mountain biking for years, but it turns out water hurts a lot less than rocks.
In September of 2025 I will get married to my beautiful fiance Tina, who insists our two dogs and cat must all find their way into the ceremony. I disagree, which means you’ll probably see all our pets in the wedding photos!
In all seriousness - I love what I do and it’s an honor to serve the people we have the privilege to work with.
We believe that it takes talent to find talent.
We are a subcontractor, for talent.
How do you pick your subs? It certainly isn’t because they are the cheapest (we’ve all learned that lesson). You pick your subcontractors based on the experience they can provide you throughout the building process.
- Do they meet deadlines?
- Are they transparent?
- Do they own their mistakes instead of hiding them?
As long as the product is of QUALITY, it is the type of person that determines WHO you allow to represent your organization on the candidate market is a huge decision. You’re allowing your reputation and image to be extended to a third party interfacing with your most valued asset – talent.
This is a responsibility we don’t take lightly
