James Huddleston
PresidentMessage from James Huddleston:
Thank you for taking a few minutes out of your busy day to visit our website. While filled with many challenges and “bumps in the road”, the 20+ year journey to create a recruiting firm with a reputation as a place where construction industry professionals can go to selectively explore career options in a professional, discrete manner or to fill a critical role in their organization are the accomplishments I am most proud of. There are an abundance of options when it comes to recruiting agencies in this ever changing, always evolving industry. That is why we are guided by the following two principles each and every work day.
-
Developing and enhancing relationships with each client, potential client, candidate and potential candidate we communicate with that day.
-
Applying our 20+ years of experience in managing each step of the search process and communicating with each involved party in a timely and professional manner. Nobody likes surprises or details that have not been addressed.
I look forward to working with you!
James Huddleston

Bailee Gant
Executive RecruiterMessage from Bailee Gant:
I’m a people-first Construction Recruiter with multiple years of experience, most of that focused in the commercial construction industry here in Central Ohio. I got into recruiting by following what I enjoy most—building relationships and helping people grow—and I’ve stayed because I genuinely care about the long-term success of both the candidates and companies I work with.
I specialize in partnering with top GCs and contractors to place superintendents, project managers, estimators, field professionals, and support staff in roles where they can thrive. Whether it’s helping a client build out a project team or guiding a candidate through a career move, I take a relational, consistent, and curious approach to every search.
If you’re building a team—or thinking about what’s next—I’d love to connect.
I look forward to working with you!

John Costello
Director, New England RegionMessage from John Costello:
Thank you for visiting ProSearch Intl. I am the Director of the New England Region and I am an accomplished construction executive with a broad understanding of key industry dynamics. My construction experience spans 30 years with one multi-state heavy civil employer and includes significant accomplishments in the areas of business development, estimating, bidding, project management, human resources, QC, safety, compliance, administration, risk avoidance, surety and construction finance. As a recognized industry leader with a proven ability to communicate effectively I work to build consensus on key decisions while forming effective internal and external partnerships. My areas of executive expertise are leadership, culture development, recruiting and retention of talent, growth strategy development and implementation, negotiation, procurement, specification compliance, litigation mitigation, dispute resolution and team building.
For the next chapter of my professional career I have decided to join the ProSearch Intl team and assist James with expanding ProSearch’s presence in the New England region. My practical experience means I fully understand the hiring needs of our client companies, as well as the career goals of our construction candidates. While I will have primary responsibility for all of ProSearch’s work conducted in New England, I will also be utilizing my extensive industry network for other searches being spearheaded by James at the corporate office.
