A specialist approach to US construction recruitment.

Inventus Partners is a specialist recruitment firm focused exclusively on the US construction market.

Derived from the Latin for “discovered,” Inventus reflects our focus on identifying the specific talent that projects and businesses genuinely require. Construction is a project-driven industry, and successful hiring depends on technical alignment, timing, and real-world experience — not volume outreach.

We support permanent project and preconstruction hiring across commercial, residential, and infrastructure environments, with core expertise along the Eastern Seaboard, where contractor competition and labour mobility create a uniquely complex hiring landscape.

Inventus Partners was founded by Sam Millington, a construction recruitment specialist with several years of experience working exclusively within the US construction sector. After working closely with general contractors, construction managers, and subcontractors across New York and New Jersey, Inventus was established to deliver a more considered and consultative recruitment service — built around relationships, market insight, and long-term outcomes rather than transactional hiring.

Inventus remains intentionally specialised, allowing clients and candidates to work directly with someone who understands their market rather than being passed through layers of account management.
