## The Challenge

The President of a fast-growing commercial construction company in South Florida had a clear vision: **expand, diversify, and continue the company’s rapid revenue growth.** The business had already doubled in size over four years, but scaling further required a major shift.

As a self-described **micro-manager**, the President knew that success hinged on stepping back from day-to-day operations to focus on business development. However, without a **strong senior leadership team** in place—and no dedicated **HR leader**—the challenge was clear:

> How do you **identify, attract, and onboard** the right executive talent—someone capable of managing high-stakes projects, developing a strong team, and driving long-term growth—**without disrupting daily operations or losing momentum in your business?**

## The Nivalmi Approach

Enter **Nivalmi Talent Recruitment**, stepping in as the company’s **strategic hiring partner.** Led by expert recruiters **Curt Nichols & Sara Valderrama**, Nivalmi worked closely with the President and key stakeholders to define what success looked like in this role.

🔹 **Stakeholder Interviews** – Understanding leadership gaps and identifying must-have competencies.

🔹 **Candidate Persona Development** – A strategic blueprint to ensure long-term fit and success.

🔹 **Comprehensive Search Strategy** – Targeted outreach, job postings, and active sourcing to attract top talent.

🔹 **Rigorous Screening & Interviews** – A multi-stage vetting process to narrow down the strongest candidates.

## The Results

Nivalmi Talent collaborated with the client to:

- Implement & activate a comprehensive talent search strategy and hiring process.
- Author 1st & 2nd interviews questions designed to help identify “best match” candidates now and in the future.
- Manage on-line job postings and budgets over multiple platforms.
- Screen & review 100+ candidates, engaging directly with 35+ candidates.
- Interview twelve candidates and refer a slate of 3 candidates.

In just **64 days**, Nivalmi Talent successfully placed a **Senior Operations Manager** who quickly proved to be a game-changer.

## The Impact

Since stepping into the role, the **Senior Operations Manager** was quickly promoted to **Vice President of Operations**—a testament to their leadership and impact. The President now describes them as a **“rock star.”**

Even more, the company has **fully integrated** the best hiring practices and executive search framework developed by Nivalmi, ensuring sustainable talent acquisition and leadership growth.
