I help small to medium sized construction companies access the best talent in their market.

A quick placement..... A couple of weeks ago I finished up a successful placement of a high level construction executive in New York. The process took place over a period of 2 weeks from a phone call at 6:30pm to a first interview, to an offer and then an acceptance of the position. On the surface it looks like it was a very quick turnaround.....but the process really took 8 years. That's right......eight years. I have been connected with this talented individual since 2016 and we spoke about once a quarter over that time period. We developed a great relationship over that time period and I never try to move someone when they are truly happy with their role...it's a futile endeavor. In the end the process took over 40 phone conversations over 96 months. Relationship building is the most important part of this business and it often takes a long time but in the end it is worth it! #recruiting #construction
