Architecture recruiters who read drawings, not just résumés.
We place architects, job captains, designers, and project managers with the firms that need them — matched on real project experience and design sensibility, not keyword counts.
We match architects on project phase, software, and sensibility.
Generic agencies match keywords. We match on what you actually need: project phase, software fluency, sector experience, and the design sensibility that decides whether someone thrives in your studio — the way the original architecture staffing firm has worked since 1984.
Our matching engine, TalentRadar, weighs portfolio and real delivery over who typed "Revit" the most, so the shortlist is short for the right reasons.

Architecture staffing — common questions
What architecture roles does CFA place?
Project architects, job captains, architectural designers, and project managers — from intermediate through studio-director level.
Do you place contract architects as well as permanent hires?
Yes. We staff architects on contract (freelance), project-to-permanent, and direct permanent terms.
How do you vet architects?
We review portfolios, interview for technical skill and design sensibility, and can verify Revit and AutoCAD proficiency with skills assessments before you meet anyone.
Do you place licensed and unlicensed architectural staff?
Both — registered architects and the architectural designers, drafters, and job captains who support them.
