The Process. The People.
The Results.
Every delayed hire is a delayed project. We built a system that keeps your pipeline moving, cuts turnover, and gets proven leaders onto your job sites. No runaround. No guessing. Just results.
You shouldn't have to wonder what's happening in your search.
No logins. No new software for your team to learn. As finalists clear the bar, they land on your desk as boardroom-ready dossiers, and a weekly search brief tells you exactly where things stand. Documents you can forward to your partners in ten seconds.

Our Pipeline
200+ professionals evaluated → 6–8 presented → 1 excellent hire who stays.
People who thrive. Not just survive.
Projects finish on time. Teams stay together. That's what we're after.
Retention Rate
Of the leaders I've placed are still with their companies today. Measured at 12 months post-placement.
Candidate Experience
Everyone gets feedback. Even the ones we don't place.
Candidates Evaluated
Per search. So you only see the ones worth your time.
The 91% is mine. I built it search by search, long before Flowstate had a name. It's not a borrowed company stat. It's my personal track record. When I say I only take searches I believe in and only present candidates I'd stake my name on, that number is what it looks like over years of doing it.
We run a focused number of searches at any given time. On purpose. Every engagement gets a defined process, dedicated research, and direct access from kickoff to close. You won't get handed off. You won't wonder where things stand.
Flowstate is the firm I built to hold every search to that same bar. The name is new. The standard isn't.

What We Stand For
These aren't on a poster in a break room. They're how we make decisions, have hard conversations, and show up for the people we work with.
Say the Hard Thing
Walk in Their Boots
Never the Finished Product
Get Outside. Get Perspective.
Built-In, Not Bolted On
Automate the Process. Never the Relationship.
Honest Assessment
Are We Right for Each Other?
We don't say this to be difficult. We say it because a bad fit wastes everyone's time and helps nobody. The right fit changes everything.
We're Built For You If:
- You know who you are and what you're building
- You pay your people what they're worth and you know what that number is
- You have a mission that your leadership actually lives by
- You believe your employees are your greatest competitive advantage
- You want a long-term partner, not a resume farmer
- You're obsessed with growth for your company, your people, and your community
- You communicate openly, give feedback freely, and hate operating in silos
- You believe business can be a force for good in the world
We're Probably Not Your Firm If:
- You're working with 12 recruiters simultaneously and treating search like a numbers game
- You pay below market and wonder why your best people leave
- You don't have a company mission. Or have one nobody believes.
- You think ghosting candidates is acceptable
- You see recruiting as a transaction
- You're not willing to be radically transparent about your culture, your challenges, and your goals
- You believe parks are wasted space
Built by someone who gives a damn.
I started Flowstate Search because I saw too many great construction companies struggling to find the leaders they deserved. And too many great candidates being ghosted, lowballed, and treated like a number. That's not how this should work.
We built this to be the partner I wish existed. Honest about what we know, honest about what we don't, and relentlessly focused on getting it right. When you work with Flowstate, you get a strategic ally who's bought in for the long haul. Not someone chasing a quick placement fee.
You get one point of contact: me. I run your search, I talk to every candidate, and I own the outcome. But you're not hiring one guy with a phone. Behind every search is a team of veteran recruiters, dedicated sourcers, and operators who've spent decades building and leading companies. Founder-level attention. Team-level firepower.
One point of contact. A whole bench behind it.
Years of Recruiting Experience
Veteran recruiters and dedicated sourcers working your search behind the scenes.
Years of Leadership Experience
Operators who've built, run, and scaled real companies. Not seat-fillers.
Accountable Leader on Every Search
Jordan leads it, the bench works it. One voice from kickoff to close.
"Jordan brings a level of clarity and honesty that is hard to find. He focuses on what actually matters to hiring managers and gives precise, actionable direction instead of generic advice. The difference in approach is noticeable right away."
