Amundson Group connected a growing construction firm with a proven Project Manager who has settled firmly into the role more than 90 days after placement.
The Client's Challenge
A construction firm operating across the US needed an experienced Project Manager capable of owning complex projects from preconstruction through closeout. Leadership required someone who could step in quickly, earn the trust of field crews, and manage multiple stakeholders without a steep onboarding curve. Internal recruiting efforts had stalled, and open weeks were beginning to affect project momentum.
Amundson Group's Search Process
Leveraging a candidate database of more than 90,000+ construction professionals, the Amundson Group team moved immediately after intake. The search focused on candidates with demonstrated tenure, a track record of delivering projects on schedule and within budget, and the interpersonal skills to lead cross-functional teams in a fast-paced environment.
Key steps in the process included:
- Rapid qualification of candidates against the client's scope, culture, and compensation expectations
- Structured interviews designed to surface real project ownership experience rather than surface-level familiarity
- Reference validation to confirm past performance on comparable project types
- Transparent communication with both client and candidate throughout offer negotiations
Consistent with Amundson Group's average of 7 hours from job intake to first qualified resume, the client received a shortlist of vetted candidates without delay.
Outcome at 90+ Days
The placed professional has been in the role for more than 90 days and is fully integrated into the client's operations. By the 90-day mark, they had taken active ownership of ongoing projects, built credibility with the project team, and contributed measurably to workflow improvements. Client feedback has been positive, and the hire reports high satisfaction with both the role and the placement experience.
This result reflects Amundson Group's broader retention record: , a figure built on precise candidate matching rather than volume-based sourcing.
