The Challenge
As the client scaled from $500 million to over $1 billion in valuation, they hit three roadblocks: fierce competition for niche construction and facilities talent, a finance function that hadn’t grown to match the business, and no formal training system to keep staff pace with rapid growth.
Our Solution
TRC partnered directly with the client’s COO and Chief People Officer on a three-phase talent strategy. That meant sourcing passive candidates for hard-to-fill construction and facilities roles, building the client’s entire finance department from the ground up alongside the VP of Finance, and creating training programs with the VP of Training to help staff keep pace with growth.
The Results
TRC helped grow the company’s valuation from roughly $500 million to over $1 billion, built a full finance department covering accounting, AP/AR, and payroll, filled specialized construction and critical facilities roles, and created new positions like project accountant and financial analyst that didn’t exist before the partnership.
Key Takeaways
Winning passive candidates takes more than a job posting, it takes a growth story. Building a true workforce partnership means identifying gaps that don’t even have a job title yet. And training has to scale alongside headcount, or new hires can’t keep up with the business.
