Architecture Recruiting Firm

The Perillo Group is an architecture recruiting firm that understands what makes architecture hiring different: the right candidate is a portfolio, a license path, and a project history, not a list of software. We run direct hire searches for architecture firms across the country, from project architects who can run a job to the BIM staff every studio now depends on. Every search starts with a conversation about your firm’s project mix and studio culture, because in architecture the fit is the work.

Architecture Roles We Fill

We recruit for firms working across healthcare, education, commercial, institutional, and residential project types.

How an Architecture Search With Us Works

Architecture searches stall when the brief is a software list and the portfolio review happens three weeks in. We run it the other way.

  1. The brief comes first. Project types, where this person sits in the studio, license expectations, and the work samples that will actually decide it.
  2. A short list, not a long one. A small number of candidates whose project history matches your firm’s work, with portfolios ready to review and an honest read on each.
  3. Feedback in days, not weeks. Strong architects with options do not wait out a slow process. Momentum is a hiring advantage.
  4. An offer that lands. We test compensation against the current market in week one, so the offer holds up against the counteroffer that often follows.

Terms That Remove the Risk

Every search we run is direct hire. There are no upfront fees, and every placement carries a 90 day replacement guarantee. If the person does not work out in the first 90 days, we run the search again.

National Reach

We are based in the Philadelphia area and recruit for architecture firms nationwide. Architecture is a reputation driven field: candidates know which firms do good work, and we know how your firm’s work is seen by the people you want to hire.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to use an architecture recruiting firm?

Nothing upfront. We work on a direct hire basis: you pay a fee only when your hire starts, agreed in writing before the search begins. If we do not fill the role, you do not pay for the search.

How fast can you fill an architecture role?

Most clients see their first qualified candidates within days of the brief. Because architecture hiring turns on portfolio and project history, we screen for the work itself, not just software skills.

What roles do you recruit in architecture?

Project architects, architects, architectural designers, project managers, and BIM staff, for firms working across commercial, institutional, healthcare, and residential project types.

What if the hire does not work out?

Every placement carries a 90 day replacement guarantee. If the hire leaves or is let go within the first 90 days, we run the replacement search at no additional fee.

Do you recruit outside your home area?

Yes. We are based in the Philadelphia area and recruit for architecture firms nationwide.

I am an architect considering a move. Does it cost me anything?

No. Candidates never pay; the hiring firm pays our fee, and every conversation is confidential.
