A Southern construction firm needed a skilled estimator fast. Amundson Group delivered a vetted hire who remains productive and settled in the role 90+ days later. ## The Client Challenge A construction firm operating in the South needed to fill a critical estimator role. Accurate, competitive bidding is the lifeblood of any construction operation, and a gap in estimating capacity was creating real risk to the company's pipeline and profitability. The client needed a professional who could step in, build trust with the team, and contribute immediately — not someone who would need months to ramp up. ## The Search Process Amundson Group engaged with the client and moved quickly. Leveraging a network of 90,000+ construction professionals and a search process built for speed, the team identified and screened candidates with directly relevant estimating backgrounds in the construction sector. The focus was on professionals who had demonstrated accuracy under pressure, familiarity with the region's market conditions, and the interpersonal steadiness to integrate into an existing team. Key criteria evaluated during the search included: - Hands-on estimating experience in relevant construction scopes - Track record of winning bids and supporting project margins - Cultural alignment with the client's operational style - Long-term career stability and commitment indicators ## The Outcome at 90+ Days The placed professional has now been in the role for more than 90 days and has settled into the position with measurable impact. They have integrated with the estimating workflow, contributed to active bids, and built credibility within the team. The client has expressed confidence in the hire's trajectory. This placement reflects the kind of outcome Amundson Group consistently pursues — a match that works not just at the offer stage, but well past the start date. ## Why It Matters For construction firms in the South facing talent pressure, filling an estimator seat with the right person — not just any available candidate — is a competitive advantage. Amundson Group's construction-specific focus and deep candidate network make that standard of quality both achievable and repeatable.
