What is the best way to look for a construction executive job opportunity while actively employed?

Passive job seekers are those who are not "actively" in the job hunt. These are people open to a better job opportunity, but do not want to risk losing their current position so the job hunt needs to be confidential.

The best way is to work with a professional construction recruiter who will NOT release your name or credentials to any employer without first getting your approval. However most construction recruiters are expert marketers who will promote your resume throughout the industry but may not do so with strict confidentiality. It is important to find a retainer fee based, construction recruitment firm who does NOT market resumes, or a construction recruiter that has been recommended to you as trustworthy and well connected in the industry to represent you. Construction recruiters earn their living networking with construction employers so they tend to know more of who is hiring, which firms are growing and needing construction talent.

The next best way is to source online job boards and job resources on social media so that you can first identify a position, location and opportunity of interest. Once identified submitting your credentials online has some risk but may be worth it. Employers spend a lot of money trying to find talent online and the will not be successful if they break a candidate's confidentiality.
