TruPath places an Account Manager for a client who was about to give up on their search for the right candidate. This Account Manager oversees critical accounts in Columbus, Ohio and Charleston, West Virginia.

Finding the right person to fill a role can be difficult and time-consuming. It can also be frustrating when a search has been open for weeks or months and the right candidate is seemingly nowhere to be found. At this point, many companies turn to a national recruiting firm, such as TruPath.

TruPath Places Account Manager

The Client’s Need:

A national industrial supply company was in dire need of a very special Account Manager. This person has a lot of flexibility and the background and skills for managing small groups of important accounts. A successful candidate has experience in construction and manufacturing. Additionally, this person is comfortable interacting with various levels of management on job sites, has knowledge of construction and industrial supplies, and has the ability to drive to client sites on a weekly basis. After struggling to identify any qualified candidates, they started to feel that this position was simply un-fillable.

TruPath’s Strategy:

The TruPath recruiting team spent time with the client’s key hiring managers to discuss the intricacies of what makes an ideal Account Manager. Obtaining the must-haves and nice-to-haves from each manager helped TruPath truly understand what skills and personality traits are necessary for this role. TruPath then developed a candidate profile and began hunting for the right candidates. This step is critical! Until recruiters know what a hiring manager looking for, it’s hard to reach out to the “right” passive candidates.

The Result:

After connecting with several potential candidates, TruPath identified an individual who almost exactly matches the Account Manager profile. This candidate was in a unique situation and weekly travel between states is ideal for him. After the first interview with the client, they were ecstatic to inform us that they felt we found their needle in the haystack. The candidate started two weeks later. He is enjoying his new career and is so happy with his decision to make the professional move.

With collaboration, all searches are possible! Some just require realignment or additional recruiting resources.
