Josh has spent the last 6 years building one of the country’s most successful commercial construction and real estate recruiting desks. Rooted in the Washington, DC, Baltimore, and Northern Virginia markets, Josh specializes in connecting commercial general contractors, real estate developers, owner’s representatives, and investment firms with talent across construction, development, acquisitions, and asset management.
Since joining Harrison Group in early 2020, Josh has completed 200+ searches across commercial construction and real estate and now leads a team focused on the same niche nationwide. While his core market is the DMV, he continues to follow trusted client relationships into other geographies to help fill hard-to-find roles.
What makes Josh’s track record especially rare is the staying power of his placements. In an industry where many firms measure success by whether a candidate simply makes it past the replacement guarantee period, Josh’s results have consistently gone far beyond that benchmark. 92% of his placements remain with their new company for more than 2 years, reflecting a level of long-term placement success that is rarely seen in third-party recruiting and executive search.
That success comes back to his approach. Josh brings market insight, creativity, and persistence to every search, but he is equally focused on fit. He takes the time to understand the company, the role, and what a successful hire actually needs to look like, while also listening closely to each candidate’s career goals, motivations, compensation expectations, and long-term aspirations.
Josh is a 5-time Pacesetter Award winner, recognizing him as a top 5% producer nationally within the MRI Network, one of North America’s largest recruiting organizations. He was also named a Top 5 Rookie of the Year nationally in 2020 and has earned several Top 10 national finishes among producers across the network.
