Why Choose Us?

DAI consulting focuses on candidates who are not actively seeking a new position, using passive candidate outreach techniques. This gives you access to the best AEC professionals in an industry where talent is scarce and rarely proactively seeking new positions. DAI Consulting’s managing principal, Derwin Irvine, has in excess of 20 years of experience recruiting nationally, in all 50 states, in the AEC industry. Derwin has filled hundreds of positions in the AEC industry at all levels across the country. His proven track record of filling positions with numerous “ENR 500 Top Design Firms” and “ENR Top 200 Environmental Firms” in multiple disciplines across the U.S. is unparalleled.

Derwin has developed a great number of contacts, developing deep personal relationships in the industry, which can open doors for your firm that might be closed to other executive recruiters. Derwin’s unique ability to understand your firm, your strategic plan, your position in the marketplace and the position itself and the ability to sell your firm to candidates is unmatched among other executive recruiters. People are the fundamental ingredient to an AEC firm’s success, and the war for talent is getting fiercer by the day!

Let DAI Consulting be your bridge to hire the top AEC talent that will be the “spice” that differentiates your firm from your competitors!
