Civil Engineering Business Case

Business Case for the Recruitment and Selection of a Project Manager for a Civil Engineering Company

Project Title: Selection of a Project Manager for a Civil Engineering Company
Client: Civil Engineering Company
Project Objective: To identify and hire a qualified Project Manager for the client company, overcoming the challenges faced in their independent search.

Project Description:
The client, a company operating in the civil engineering sector, encountered difficulties in finding a suitable candidate for the Project Manager position through job postings. As a result, they decided to approach ARU to conduct a direct search. The strategy employed allowed contact with candidates who typically do not consult job advertisements because they are not actively seeking new professional opportunities. By presenting the company’s profile and the opportunities it offers, these professionals became interested, seriously considering the idea of changing their work environment and starting the selection process.

Expected Benefits:
Identifying highly qualified candidates who are not actively looking for a job but could be interested in a new opportunity if a particularly stimulating project is presented to them. This is a Passive Talent approach that can generate new opportunies.

Outcome:
The client hired a very talented Civil Engineer.  The profile resulted a perfect fit for the company which is very satisfied with the candidate and his performance. ARU’s approach was successful for all the parties involved in the selection process.
