A Team Culture Dedicated to Your Success
PEOPLE WORKING FOR YOU
WELDING TALENT WITH OPPORTUNITY
Connecting the right people makes all the difference. We keep it simple by prioritizing quality over quantity, which means we won’t fill an open position by throwing a bunch of resumes at you hoping something sticks.
We apply this approach to candidates, too — if the open positions in our register don’t align with your style and needs, then we’ll work with you until we find the right fit.
We take the time to get to know you, understand your business model, and carefully outline your search specifications. The devil is in the details so the more we understand, the better.
Establishing a long-term relationship is our ultimate goal — it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Consistency is the key to earning your trust which can only be developed over time through regular, reliable communication.
“It’s a marathon, not a sprint.”
By utilizing our extensive connections, we’re able to match construction firms with employees whose chemistry aligns with your current staff and company vision.
We understand construction's unique challenges and deliver customized recruitment solutions that meet both our clients' and candidates' specific needs.
LEADERSHIP TEAM
Mike Lacey
Owner & Operator
“Talking to the guys every day keeps me fresh and knowledgeable, with my fingers on the pulse. I make it a priority to stay apprised and up-to-date on this rapidly changing industry.”
With close to twenty years of experience in the construction business, Mike is a seasoned recruiter who specializes in placing heavy civil construction professionals. He prides himself on being the owner-operator while still putting boots to the ground every day.
Mike believes that working directly with people every day is essential to maintain a true feel for the industry. He founded Maven Search Group with a vision to transform the recruiting field — to be the change he wanted to see. His goal was to build a firm driven by transparency, honesty, and collaboration.
On a personal note, Mike is first and foremost a husband, father, and coach. He’s active in his local community, a publicly elected official in his hometown, and a Freemason at the Good Samaritan Masonic Lodge. He enjoys playing golf, snowboarding, fishing, and watching sports.
Lara Veilleux, MSIM
Chief Marketing Director
“Design is a passion and can be truly powerful when it’s simple, beautiful, and effective. It has the ability to elevate the experience of everyone involved.”
Lara is a versatile professional with over twenty years of corporate experience in marketing, design, data analytics, and project management. She now primarily works as a web designer who runs and owns Small Biz Website Lady — helping entrepreneurs and small businesses build websites that are simple, beautiful, and effective.
During Maven Search Group's initial development, she worked closely with Mike to create their branding strategy, logo, website, and marketing materials. With her enthusiasm for the entrepreneurial spirit and love of small businesses powered by good people, she gladly accepted the invitation to stay on and continue to develop Maven's digital marketing and social media strategy. Lara earned a Bachelors from SUNY New Paltz and her Masters from Boston University.
WHO WE ARE &
WHAT WE STAND FOR
As an emerging and highly sought-after recruitment agency, we work hard to clearly distinguish ourselves from the rest of the industry.
Our mission is to help companies find the best talent for their projects, and to help candidates advance their careers in this challenging and rewarding field. We value integrity, quality, and collaboration, and we strive to uphold these principles in every aspect of our work. By leveraging an extensive network, industry knowledge, and honed skillset we’re able to source, screen, and place qualified candidates into various positions, ranging from front office executives to project managers, superintendents, and their engineers.
We also handle contract management and dispute resolution, ensuring that both parties are satisfied with the terms and conditions of the agreements.
Some of our notable achievements include closing deals with some of the largest, nationally recognized, publicly traded construction firms, but we’ve found a niche amongst the smaller, local, emerging outfits. We’ve found that the smaller shops are able to maintain a family-oriented culture where the employees are their top assets, and not just a number.
“We value integrity, quality, and collaboration, and we strive to uphold these principles in every aspect of our work.”
We enjoy working with a diverse and talented pool of candidates and clients, and are always looking for new opportunities and challenges in this fast-paced and evolving industry.
The unfortunate stigma of the recruiting industry is that they don’t take the time to get to know the people they’re working with to find the right match. We have no interest in that approach (don’t want to put a square peg into a round hole) and we take the time to get to know our partners — what’s going to make sense for them financially and geographically.
When you take the time on the front end to get to know the talent, it’s makes the process more seamless for everyone involved. Career changes are important decisions that can affect more than just the individual. Career decisions are a family decision. Family and career are intertwined, and that should not be taken lightly.
“If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out.
I’ll always make myself available.
When I work with someone I make them my priority.”
We don’t just fill positions; we build lasting relationships that foster growth and innovation in the construction sector. Let us help you find the right talent or the right opportunity today!
