Jan Laerum
Founder — Greystone Selection

Finding senior BIM and construction talent for Saudi Arabia’s major projects is harder than it should be. Most recruiters covering this market are spread too thin to do it well. Greystone Selection exists to fix that.

I focus exclusively on this market. That means I know the senior candidates, I understand what these projects demand, and I can give clients an honest picture of what’s available and what a search will realistically take.

When you work with Greystone, you deal with me directly — from the initial brief through to placement. No junior researchers, no handoffs.

Expertise

Where I
Specialise

Project Directors & Senior Leadership

My primary focus. Project Directors and senior leaders across PMC, client-side, contractor, and consultancy roles on KSA’s major programmes. I focus on experienced operators — people who have managed complex programmes and understand the demands of working in the Kingdom.

BIM & Digital Delivery

A strong network of Senior BIM Managers and Digital Delivery professionals active across KSA. I know who is performing, who is available, and who is worth a conversation.

Market Knowledge

Beyond filling roles, I can give you a clear read on current salary expectations, how competitive the market is for a given profile, and how long a realistic search is likely to take. That context matters.

How I Work

What You Can
Expect

01
Direct Headhunting, No Job Boards

Every search is conducted manually. I identify and approach the right candidates directly — no job board postings, no blasting roles across LinkedIn. The people I reach are not actively applying, which means you get access to talent your competitors aren’t seeing.

02
Focused on One Market

Covering KSA construction exclusively means I have real depth — in the candidate pool, in the client landscape, and in how these projects actually operate.

03
Deep KSA Network

Years of focused work in this market means I know the senior professionals active across KSA’s major programmes — who is performing, who is open to a move, and who is worth a conversation. That network is built on relationships, not databases.

04
A Considered Shortlist, Not a Pile of CVs

Every candidate I put in front of you has been spoken to and assessed against your brief. You won’t be sifting through marginal submissions to find the two people worth interviewing. If I’m not confident in someone, they don’t make the list.

05
One Point of Contact

The person you brief is the person doing the search. No account managers, no handoffs, no mixed messages. You get a direct line to me and an honest read on where the search stands at every stage.

06
Discretion as Standard

Senior hires are sensitive. Your search stays confidential — candidates are approached privately, nothing is made public without your permission, and the details of your brief stay between us.
