I don't think that would work. Pileated's are close to 2 feet tall and their feet are very large. Until you see one up close it is hard to realize how large they are! They also like to move around some will eating, watching for other birds etc. They are attacked by hawks. So the presence of your hawk might be discouraging it We have noticed while watching them move up & down the tree how much effort they have to use to move. Much harder for them than the smaller birds.

This shows a Pileated along with a Starling in the shot.....
