A top-25 ENR mechanical contractor had lost their lead PM on a $60M mission-critical retrofit six weeks into the project. Two national retained firms had been searching for 90+ days with no offer-stage candidates.
Gulfstream ran a targeted headhunt against 14 mission-critical mechanical contractors in the Southwest, pre-qualifying on chilled-water plant experience, Tier III+ data center delivery, and design-assist background. All outreach was direct-sourced (no job board) and screened against a written scorecard.
Presented 4 qualified candidates in 9 business days. Offer accepted on day 21. The hire has since led buyout on a follow-on $40M expansion.
