How can I get a construction recruiter to help me when none respond?

You are not alone in your frustration with recruiters. Most of them are very busy and since they work for construction employers and not construction job seekers they stay focused on the employer. The best way to get a recruiter's attention is to make sure they have seen your construction resume and are keeping you active in their database. It is a mistake to count on a recruiter to find you a job since that is not the role of construction recruiters. You could look into hiring a executive marketing agent to help you find a job, but this will require payment from you. Executive marketing is a term you can research on the web and find many such agents.
