We’ve put the best people in construction, legal, and finance on magazine covers. Now we put them on your team.
Trueline Talent was built on a foundation no other construction, legal or finance recruiting firm has, a publishing network with 15 years of genuine editorial relationships with the professionals our clients are trying to hire. Blueprint Construction Magazine, Vanguard Law Magazine and Equity Magazine gave us something no job board, LinkedIn campaign or cold-calling firm could replicate: real trust with the candidates who are already successfully employed and performing well for your competitors.
Those candidates started asking us to help them find their next opportunity. Our publishing clients started asking us to find them talent. The practice built itself from there and we’ve never looked back.
Today we place leaders across construction, legal, and accounting & finance in 200+ US markets. We take the work seriously. We take ourselves a little less so. And we think that’s exactly right.
Every line we write, in our magazines, in our outreach to passive candidates, in every conversation with a client, is true. We built our publishing reputation on it. We built our recruiting practice the same way.
The through line between a company’s culture and its best hires isn’t always obvious. Finding it, with honesty, precision and a little aloha, is what we do every day.
The shaka was added in 2018, and it’s not going anywhere. For founder and CEO Haj Carr, who grew up in Hawaii, it represents aloha: hello and goodbye, affection, joy and energy.
It’s a daily reminder that the best recruiting happens when people actually enjoy the work. Bring your whole self. Move with intention. Leave people better than you found them: candidates, clients and colleagues alike.
From a single idea about telling the truth to a national recruiting firm. Same principle the whole way.
The concept behind Trueline Talent is born: a publishing company built on the idea that every line should be true.
Officially incorporated as TrueLine Publishing, LLC, launching Blueprint Construction Magazine as its first trade publication.
The portfolio grows with the launch of Vanguard Law Magazine and Equity Magazine, extending Trueline Talent’s editorial relationships into legal and finance.
Named one of the Best Places to Work, the first of many consecutive years. The culture was always part of the plan.
The shaka logo arrives, and TrueLine Publishing launches its specialist recruiting practice under a new name: Trueline Talent. For the first time, construction, legal and finance professionals are placed through the magazine networks, and the recruiting brand is born.
Trueline Talent expands its recruiting practice nationally, placing professionals across 50+ US markets as the Blueprint, Vanguard Law and Equity magazine networks continue to grow.
Teams go fully remote. The Blueprint, Vanguard Law and Equity magazine networks prove their value: warm candidate relationships built through editorial trust outperform every job board. Role specialization leads to better placements and happier clients.
Trueline Talent places construction, legal and accounting & finance professionals across 200+ US markets, a fully distributed national recruiting firm powered by the Blueprint, Vanguard Law and Equity magazine networks. Still having fun doing it.
Recruiting is a relationship business. The people who stay and grow here are the ones who bring real energy to every search.
Markets shift, legal landscapes change, finance cycles move fast. We pursue every search with full commitment and genuine enthusiasm, bringing aloha to every interaction along the way. The shaka isn’t just a logo. It’s a standard.
When we take on a superintendent search in Charlotte or a controller search in Dallas, we own it completely. No hand-offs. No excuses. We treat every search like the outcome matters, because it does.
The best project manager in Houston isn’t answering the first LinkedIn message. The right legal ops candidate in DC isn’t on Indeed. Finding the people who move the needle takes patience, relationship capital and the willingness to keep going. We keep going.
Every candidate we present has been vetted, not just sourced. Every client conversation is prepared, not improvised. We don’t send five resumes to look busy. We send the right two and explain exactly why. Best work, every search, every time.
We tell clients what they need to hear. If the comp range won’t attract the superintendent they need in Tampa, we say it, before they lose three candidates finding out the hard way. If the role definition is too narrow, we say it. Honest, direct, respectful.
“Leave people better than you found them: candidates, clients and colleagues alike.”
Tell us about the role you’re trying to fill. We’d love to talk. Bring your whole self. We’ll bring the aloha.
Serving construction, legal and accounting & finance employers across 200+ US markets.
