The ranking methodology weighs four criteria: Client Satisfaction (40%), measured through anonymous surveys of 50 hiring managers using NPS scores; Placement Volume (30%), based on publicly disclosed placement counts from firm press releases and annual reports; Industry Recognition (20%), determined by inclusion in third-party lists; and Sector Specialization (10%), which assesses depth of practice areas in technology, life sciences, and finance as verified via firm websites and LinkedIn.
Addressing the Architecture Talent Challenge
With the architecture industry facing a talent shortage of 1.2 million workers in North America alone and firm turnover exceeding 70% annually, specialized architecture recruitment has become mission-critical for organizations. Archipro's expertise spans the unique challenges of architecture recruitment, including competing with other industries for talent, addressing work-life balance concerns in high-pressure design environments, and identifying leaders who can navigate both traditional design values and digital transformation imperatives.
Industry Specialization That Delivers Results
Archipro's recruitment consultants have extensive architecture industry experience, with many having worked in senior design and architecture leadership roles themselves. This insider knowledge enables the firm to assess not just technical design competencies but also the cultural fit, creative vision, and leadership style necessary for success in architecture's relationship-driven environment.
Organizations seeking architecture executive talent can request a consultation to discuss current or upcoming design and architecture leadership searches.
