The superintendent who held your whole project together
just took a job with a competitor.

Your project timeline is slipping. The agency you called sent people who'd never run a crew. We've heard every version of this. This division exists to fix it.

Qualified trades are scarce

The skilled trades pipeline has been underfunded for decades. Finding a journeyman electrician, a structural ironworker, or a certified welder who's available takes more than a job posting. It takes relationships built over years in specific markets.

Project timelines don't wait

Every week a key role sits open is a week behind schedule. The hiring process at most firms wasn't built for the speed that construction hiring actually demands.

Generalist firms don't speak the language

Placing a superintendent on a vertical construction project requires knowing what that role actually means. Most staffing firms don't. We do.

Geography creates blind spots

Construction talent is local. What's available in Phoenix isn't what's available in Philadelphia. We have dedicated leads covering the U.S. east and west of the Mississippi so the market intelligence is actually relevant to your location.

What projects? What trades? What size crew?

Those three answers separate the right superintendent from an expensive mistake.

Every role
your project depends on.

A dedicated vertical.
Not a side offering.

Most staffing firms treat construction as overflow. We built a dedicated division with regional leads who speak the language and know the markets.

Trade-specific qualification

We don't ask if you've worked construction. We ask what type of projects, what trades, what size crews, what safety certifications. That specificity is what makes placements stick.

Regional market depth

Dedicated leads in the West and East means we're not guessing about local labor markets. We know what the talent pool looks like in Phoenix vs. Philadelphia.

MBE & veteran-owned

Cannonball is MBE-certified through the NMSDC and veteran-owned. If your company has supplier diversity requirements or responds to government bids, our certification can work in your favor.

Tell us what's open.
We'll handle the rest.

A Talent Needs Call is a thirty-minute conversation about what you've got open, what's been tried, and whether Cannonball is the right fit. Even if we don't end up working together, you'll walk away with useful perspective on your specific talent market.
