In the ever-evolving construction industry, securing top-tier talent is critical for success. Leaders in Construction Recruitment (LCR) has been recognized by Evergreen Awards as the Best Construction Recruitment Firm in Texas for 2025, a prestigious honor that highlights their unparalleled commitment to excellence in recruitment.

Outstanding Industry Impact

LCR’s journey began with the vision of Simon Gagula, a third-generation construction professional with firsthand experience as a Commercial Superintendent and Project Manager for some of the most well-respected General Contractors. Recognizing inefficiencies in the recruitment process, he partnered with Simon Darby, a seasoned headhunting expert with over 25 years in construction recruitment. Together, they formed the powerhouse known as "Simon-squared," dedicated to disrupting the traditional recruitment model and delivering unmatched value to the industry.

Humanizing the Recruitment Experience

One of LCR’s key differentiators is their human-centric approach to recruitment. Unlike traditional firms that focus solely on metrics, LCR emphasizes personalized service, ensuring that both clients and candidates feel valued. Their mission is simple yet transformative: to humanize the recruitment experience.

“We want to establish a place where our clients and candidates feel like we are their true advisors, not just another transaction,” says Simon Darby, Co-Founder & COO.

This philosophy has been the driving force behind LCR’s continued success and industry-wide recognition.

Demonstrated Expertise & Results

LCR’s proprietary recruitment technology and tailored processes allow them to match construction professionals with firms in a way that maximizes efficiency and ensures long-term success. Since its inception, LCR has successfully partnered with construction companies ranging from $50 million to over $5 billion in annual revenue, placing hundreds of skilled professionals in pivotal roles across the U.S. and Canada.

“As a former Commercial Superintendent, I was constantly headhunted for roles that didn’t match my expertise. That’s why at LCR, we ensure every candidate is presented with the right opportunities, eliminating the unnecessary pressure I once faced,” shares Simon Gagula, Founder & CEO.

A Testament to Excellence

LCR’s consistent delivery of high-quality recruitment solutions has earned them the trust of leading construction firms. A Vice President of Operations at a $2 billion General Contractor in Texas states:

“We almost gave up after trying six different recruitment firms that didn’t meet expectations. Then we partnered with LCR. Since 2021, they have helped us make 76 strategic hires. Their ability to integrate into our hiring process and provide tailored solutions has been unmatched.”

Setting the Standard for Recruitment in Construction

By combining deep industry knowledge with cutting-edge recruitment methodologies, LCR continues to redefine construction hiring. Their ability to build long-term relationships, customize solutions, and deliver consistent results has solidified their reputation as the Best Construction Recruitment Firm in Texas.

As they continue to expand, LCR remains committed to elevating recruitment standards, proving that exceptional service, industry expertise, and a human-first approach make all the difference.
