Founded in 2025 by Austin Cockerham and James Wheeler, Blueprint Search Group was created to meet the growing need for industry-specific recruitment across the Southeast. With a mission to support companies in Construction, Manufacturing, Engineering, and Skilled Trades, Blueprint offers tailored recruiting services that help businesses build strong, reliable teams.
Backed by the same values that helped launch Elk River Recruiting, Blueprint expands that vision to a wider regional footprint. The company was built to serve essential industries with direct communication, efficient placements, and a clear understanding of what today’s employers need in a partner.

At Blueprint, the goal is simple—connect the right people with the right companies to support long-term growth. Our work goes beyond resumes and job descriptions. It’s about understanding what drives businesses forward and delivering candidates who are dependable, experienced, and ready to contribute from day one.
Each placement is handled with care, using a proven process designed to reduce downtime, improve retention, and strengthen the teams behind the projects, operations, and systems that keep the Southeast thriving. We aim to be more than a recruiting company. We’re here to be part of your long-term success.


Blueprint Search Group isn’t a general staffing agency. We specialize in recruiting for core industries where precision, safety, and reliability matter. Every search is shaped by real-world insight into what employers need and what candidates bring to the table.
