BUILDING THE PERFECT PLAN OF ATTACK FOR AN ARCHITECTURAL MILLWORK ESTIMATOR

THE CLIENT

A premier Midwest woodworking firm with work spanning from private residences to retail to hospitality.

THE ROLE

With a strong, established growing business our client was in search of a highly skilled architectural millwork estimator that already lived within a specific radius of their headquarters. They were open to either a strong individual contributor or a management-level candidate.

THE CHALLENGE

The client came to us after having exhausted what they felt were the candidates in the existing, local pool of talent. With a need to hit the ground running, there was not an opportunity to train up an estimator from a similar industry.

HOW RHODES WOLFE PARTNERED

As the search progressed over the first 30 days, we helped expand the radius the client felt was acceptable to consider talent from – resulting in the search going from 0 qualified candidates interviewed in the first month to us uncovering 7 finalist-worthy submittals, We were able to leverage aggressive advertising and cold outreach as the radius expanded.

RHODES WOLFE RESULTS

The client made a hire from a candidate we shared within a few weeks of opening up the search radius. Rhodes Wolfe reviewed over 200 applicants and conducted over a dozen qualifying interviews to narrow down the field to the 7 finalists. The ultimate hire was introduced to the client on Day 56 of the search.
