A regional construction firm in the South needed a skilled estimator. Amundson Group delivered a qualified hire who has settled firmly into the role more than 90 days later. ## The Client Need A construction firm operating in the South faced a critical gap in its estimating function. Accurate, timely bids are the lifeblood of any contracting operation, and the team needed a seasoned estimator who could hit the ground running — someone capable of owning the bid process, collaborating with project teams, and protecting margins on complex scopes of work. ## Amundson Group's Search Process Leveraging a network of 90,000+ construction professionals and a national reach with deep roots across the Sun Belt, Amundson Group moved quickly to surface qualified candidates. The firm's construction-specialized recruiters focused on professionals with demonstrable estimating track records in the relevant project types, vetting not only technical competency but also cultural alignment with the client's team. Key steps in the process included: - Rapid intake and role definition with the hiring team - Targeted outreach to estimating professionals within the region - Rigorous screening for scope familiarity, software proficiency, and communication skills - Coordinated interview logistics and offer-stage support for both client and candidate ## Outcome at 90+ Days More than 90 days into the role, the placed professional has integrated fully into the client's estimating workflow. They have taken ownership of bid packages, contributed to team processes, and demonstrated the reliability the client was seeking when they first engaged Amundson Group. This result reflects a consistent pattern: 97% of Amundson Group placements remain on site after 12 months, a figure rooted in the firm's commitment to matching not just qualifications, but long-term fit. > *"Getting the estimating function right is not optional — it defines whether a company wins profitable work or chases the wrong jobs.
