Revit and CAD talent, skills-tested before you meet them.
We place BIM managers, coordinators, Revit specialists, and CAD technicians — and can verify their proficiency on real tasks before you ever interview them.
Proof of Revit and AutoCAD skill, before the interview.
Production talent is only as good as its tools fluency, and a résumé can't prove that — anyone can type "expert in Revit." We can prove it. CFA candidates can be assessed on real Revit and AutoCAD tasks through CAD Exam, our own skills assessment, so the BIM manager, coordinator, or drafter you interview comes with verified proficiency, not a self-rating.
This is a natural extension of where we came from. CFA ran an award-winning Autodesk Authorized Training Center and authored CAD certification exams, training thousands of professionals on these tools. We are not a current Autodesk partner, reseller, or training center — but that calibration never left; it is the expertise behind how we test and vet CAD and BIM talent today, and no generalist recruiter can say the same.
So you get two things at once: a firm that has placed CAD and BIM production talent for architecture, interiors, and engineering teams since 1984, and proof of skill before you commit — verification that is free for candidates and a service for the firms that hire them.
CAD & BIM roles we place
BIM Managers
Standards, families, and team-wide Revit leadership. We screen for template and family authorship, model-health discipline, BIM-execution-plan ownership, and the authority to set and hold standards across a studio.
BIM Coordinators
Model coordination and clash detection. We screen for Navisworks and Revit coordination workflows, clash-resolution judgment, and clean communication across disciplines and trades.
Revit Specialists
Production-ready modelers across disciplines. We screen for modeling speed and accuracy, detailing fluency, and the ability to work to your standards from day one — proficiency we can verify on real tasks first.
CAD Technicians
AutoCAD documentation and detailing. We screen for drafting precision, layer and standards discipline, and the production reliability that keeps a set moving.
Drafters
Reliable production support, on demand. We screen for fundamentals: CAD/BIM accuracy, willingness to learn your standards, and the work ethic that turns a contract seat into a permanent hire.
Revit MEP / Structural
Model-based engineering production. We screen for discipline-specific Revit fluency, coordination with the architectural model, and clash-free, buildable output.
Want proof of skill up front? Our CAD Exam skills assessment verifies Revit and AutoCAD proficiency — free for candidates, a service for firms. On contract, project-to-permanent, or permanent terms, across New York and nationwide.
How we staff CAD & BIM roles
There's no single right way to add production capacity — it depends on the work in front of you. We staff all three ways, and we'll tell you straight which one fits.
Contract / project
When production stacks up or a deadline lands faster than your headcount, we place a skills-tested modeler — or a whole production team — on a contract basis to carry the work. Capacity without the permanent overhead; when the project ends, so does the cost.
Project-to-permanent
The lowest-risk way to make a permanent hire: bring a tested CAD or BIM pro onto a live project, watch the quality of their model on real deadlines, and convert them to staff when you both know it's a fit.
Permanent / direct-hire
A targeted search for the BIM leaders and specialists who'll set your standards and stay. We pre-vet for skill — verified, not self-rated — software, and fit so the first interview is the right one.
Not sure which lane you're in? Tell us the role and timeline and we'll recommend the path — and see invoicing for how each model is billed.
Why a 40-year-old firm staffs CAD & BIM differently
Most agencies take "expert in Revit" at face value. We don't — because we came up training people on these exact tools, we know the difference between a confident self-rating and a clean, coordinated model. So we verify it.
That heritage buys two things money can't: relationships and a real testing capability. The recruiter taking your brief has staffed CAD and BIM production for decades and remembers who actually delivered, and our CFAeX assessment turns "trust me" into evidence before anyone reaches your calendar.
The result is a lower-risk hire: a modeler or BIM lead whose proficiency you've seen proven, ready to produce to your standards from day one — not a résumé you have to take on faith.
CAD & BIM staffing — common questions
How do you verify CAD and BIM skills before we interview?
Through CAD Exam, our own Revit and AutoCAD skills assessment. Candidates are tested on real tasks, so you see verified proficiency instead of a self-rating. It is free for candidates and a service for hiring firms.
Which software do you test and staff for?
Primarily Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD, often alongside tools like Navisworks — tested against current and recent software releases.
What CAD and BIM roles do you place?
BIM managers and coordinators, Revit specialists, CAD technicians and drafters, and Revit MEP/structural modelers, across architecture, interiors, and engineering teams.
Is CFA affiliated with Autodesk?
Not currently. CFA was an Autodesk Authorized Training Center and authored CAD certification exams in the past; we are not a current Autodesk partner, reseller, or training center. That training heritage is the expertise behind our independent CFAeX skills assessment.
Do you offer contract and permanent CAD/BIM staffing?
Yes — on contract (freelance), project-to-permanent, or permanent terms.
Do you place CAD/BIM talent nationwide, or only in New York?
Both. New York has been home since 1984, and we place CAD and BIM talent across the country.
