Project Manager Hired in 39 Days, Still in the Role 6 Months On

The Client Need

A construction firm operating in the South had an open Project Manager seat that was creating real operational pressure. The team needed someone who could step in, own project delivery, and build credibility with both field crews and ownership — without a long ramp-up period.

The Search Process

Amundson Group engaged its network of 90,000+ construction professionals to identify candidates with the right combination of technical depth and leadership presence. The search was focused and deliberate:

• Targeting professionals with demonstrated PM experience in the firm's relevant sector
• Screening for cultural alignment and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment
• Prioritizing candidates who had managed comparable project scopes and budgets

With an average intake-to-resume turnaround of just 7 hours, the team moved quickly — surfacing qualified options without sacrificing fit.

The Outcome at 90+ Days

The placed professional has now been in the role for more than 90 days. In that time, they have:

• Established a working rhythm with the project team and ownership group
• Taken on active project responsibilities with minimal oversight
• Demonstrated the kind of steady, reliable performance that hiring managers hope for but cannot always count on at the 90-day mark

For the client, the placement resolved a gap that had been straining internal resources. For the placed professional, the role represented a strong next step — one aligned with their experience and career trajectory.
