Executive Search Case Study – President for a Minnesota-based contracting company

Client:?

A mid-sized construction company with a tenured, retiring President was seeking a strong search partner to assist with this important transition. Truity Partners was introduced to the owner of the business by the company’s long-term accounting firm partner, Ross Munson of Baker Tilly, over a year before the transition was to take place. The company sought a seasoned leader with specific industry knowledge and a strong network in the Midwest.??

?

Partnership:?

Our Executive Search team was invited to be one of three Executive Search firms considered for the task of finding their next President. Following the initial meetings, our Truity Partners team participated in a formal interview and proposal process. After sharing our deep understanding of the local geography, our proven ability to recruit nationwide for specific industry experience, and displaying our preparedness and our adaptable process, Truity Partners was chosen to lead the search.?

?

Our Unique Value:?

Tailoring the search and interview process to suit the client's needs, we led weekly update meetings with the owner and the CFO, soliciting feedback on candidates and guiding the decision-making process. Our team provided thorough updates of the competitive landscape and supplied interview questions to complement their assessments while we conducted a nationwide search, focused primarily on cold weather states due to the unique challenges of construction in those areas, to attract top-tier talent from leading organizations.?

?

Process:?

To help narrow down the candidate slate, we coordinated an on-site interview process for the senior leadership hiring committee to meet the top five finalists. This involved managing schedules, arranging travel logistics, coordinating personality assessments, and reviewing results with a certified consultant, and providing administrative support to ensure a smooth evaluation and decision-making process.??

?Results:?

The chosen candidate seamlessly aligned with the organization's requirements and culture, reflecting the success of our collaborative efforts. The client expressed trust in our team and guidance throughout the process stating they would love to work with Truity Partners again due to our great service, results and communication.?
