John Christani

Client Service Manager

Company Description

Midwest region’s leading single-source contractor, consistently ranked among the Engineering News-Record “Top Midwest Specialty Contractors.”

Job Title

Account Manager, Piping

How long was client searching prior to our involvement?

Approximately 3 months

Did client have internal recruiting resources?

Our client was a specialty division of one of the largest general contractors in the U.S. They did have an internal corporate HR function with generalist recruiting capabilities.

Why was this a real problem for the client?

Without an experienced Account Manager in place, the business unit would not be well positioned to meet its growth objectives.

How did this opportunity help the candidate?

The candidate was not actively seeking a new role, but he was experiencing frustrations in his previous role due to heavy weekly travel requirements and limited project execution capabilities of his previous employer. The career change significantly reduced his travel, but more importantly surrounded him with stronger technical resources and the ability to gain much greater exposure to more complex projects, which provides him the opportunity to accelerate his technical skill development.
