The Contractor Consultants
The New Blueprint for Construction Hiring
Matthew DiBara, CEOTraditional staffing firms have long missed the mark—delivering mismatched candidates, sluggish communication, and delays that drive up costs and risks. For projects where every hour counts, this approach is no longer acceptable.
Born from the vision of a fourth-generation contractor, The Contractor Consultants was built to break this cycle with a solution rooted in operational knowledge rather than recruitment theory. It applies a builder’s mindset to hiring by remaining strategic, hands-on, and closely aligned with construction teams’ operations.
“We are not a recruiting company trying to understand construction; we are construction professionals who built a recruiting solution from the ground up,” says Matthew DiBara, CEO.
The firm brings structure, responsiveness, and quality control to workforce hiring by aligning its process with how construction teams work. Every step, from sourcing and screening to final placement, is managed with the same accountability expected on a jobsite. The outcome is an all-around staffing solution built not around volume, but around reliability and results.
In 2024, TCC conducted over 29,000 interviews, scanned more than 6,000 candidate submissions, and successfully filled 653 positions. In just the first half of 2025, placements have already reached 1,099, with 12,082 interviews conducted—a pace that continues to accelerate as demand surges across the U.S. and Canada.
Purpose-Driven Hiring, Built for Results
At TCC, every hiring engagement begins with a strategic foundation—one that’s customized, data-informed, and designed to produce results at scale.
The Client Success Team leads the first phase, working closely with each company to understand exactly where they are now—and where they want to be by year’s end. Together, they identify the A-players already on the team, highlight current gaps, and complete a full labor market analysis to benchmark talent availability and competitiveness in each market.
From there, they rebuild the hiring infrastructure—revamping job descriptions, redesigning postings, crafting branded career pages, and refreshing all creative assets to position the company as a top employer in their trade.
Once everything is in place, the Hiring Success Team takes the baton. Acting as an embedded extension of the client’s internal team, they launch campaigns across all major platforms, manage media budgets, screen applicants, conduct interviews, and deliver only the most qualified candidates—saving hiring managers from sifting through resumes or wasting time on poor fits.

Once everything is in place, the Hiring Success Team takes the baton. Acting as an embedded extension of the client’s internal team, they launch campaigns across all major platforms, manage media budgets, screen applicants, conduct interviews, and deliver only the most qualified candidates—saving hiring managers from sifting through resumes or wasting time on poor fits.
Throughout the partnership, clients receive a weekly progress update and a monthly Hiring Success Review—ensuring clear alignment, fast iteration, and continuous improvement across every role and every hire.
Acting as an extension of each client’s workforce strategy, the firm delivers qualified candidates quickly and accurately. In-house teams bring direct field experience, ensuring alignment with jobsite demands and a clear understanding of each role’s complexity.
Once outreach begins, the firm applies a rigorous screening process. Less than 15 percent of applicants advance beyond the first stage. For specialized roles, additional measures—such as technical interviews and paid test days—are used to validate skill and fit before a candidate is presented.
A Scalable Model Designed for Speed and Accountability
The Contractor Consultants has consistently delivered measurable impact for construction firms facing complex workforce challenges. Clients regularly report significant time savings, streamlined operations, and massive reductions in hiring costs. Many avoid tens of thousands in recruiter fees on a single role—and collectively, TCC’s clients now save roughly $2.5 million every month in hiring costs.
From skilled tradespeople to foremen, project managers, senior management, and administrative staff, TCC covers the full hiring spectrum across more than 80 construction specialties. Whether it’s scaling crews fast or finding hard-to-fill leadership roles, the firm delivers targeted solutions aligned with real jobsite needs.
Internally, TCC continues to grow its own workforce—attracting top talent by offering flexible structures, strong benefits, and a feedback-driven culture shaped around execution and accountability.
The company was recently named Top Construction Hiring Services Provider of 2024 by Construction Business Review, recognizing its growing role in transforming how the construction industry approaches talent acquisition.
