Case Study

Recruitment Partner for Infrastructure Construction Client

A pipeline construction project, which would provide new and reliable infrastructure to service the key polyethylene market in the domestic US, had an urgent need to replace key personnel only weeks out from breaking ground. The role was critical to the overall project success, but required unique talent given the terrain, weather conditions, and urgent nature of the request.

The Solution

Global Edge’s infrastructure recruitment team coordinated a nationwide search based on the client’s key criteria. The senior executives leveraged their extensive networks to produce a qualified, available, and reference-checked shortlist of candidates within two weeks. The client assessed our candidates and selected their new Project Manager.

The Outcome

Following Global Edge’s impressive performance, the client asked our organization to support the recruitment of personnel for pipeline construction. During the peak construction phase, more than 1,000 local workers supported the project, and a significant percentage of them joined our Global Edge team. Many of these contractors remained critical through the project’s completion and subsequently chose to be represented by Global Edge in future assignments.

Their exceptional service and attention to detail in finding us the right candidates have made a significant impact on our projects' success.
