Our Story

After years of driving record-breaking growth at Aerotek—I saw an opportunity to build something different. I founded McLellan Group to challenge the traditional recruiting model: one that partners closer with clients, digs deeper into their long-term vision, and places candidates who don't just complete a project, but become key contributors to the company as a whole.

By combining hands-on AEC industry expertise with advanced data analysis, trend forecasting, and relationship-driven recruiting, we deliver a smarter staffing solution—on average 60% more cost-effective, with higher-quality placements and faster turnaround times.

But McLellan Group is built to do more than fill roles. We structured our company to help AEC firms strategically meet strict Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) requirements across their nationwide projects, turning compliance from a challenge into a competitive advantage.

As a certified Small Business Enterprise (SBE) and Local Business Enterprise (LBE), we empower architecture, engineering, and construction companies to confidently satisfy diversity goals while accessing top-tier talent. Whether you're scaling a team, staffing a complex project, or navigating regulatory demands, McLellan Group is your partner in building a stronger, more capable workforce.
