A major investment client with a head office in Cyprus sought our help in finding a Construction Project Manager. The key requirements were a successful track record in managing premium-segment projects and a willingness to relocate. We needed a manager capable of representing the investor's interests at all stages: from interaction with the general contractor to the final commissioning of the facility, controlling budget and quality while minimizing the investor's involvement in operational management.

It was critically important to find a proactive Russian-speaking specialist with either European work experience or a deep understanding of Cypriot building regulations. Such candidates, capable of working at a level of trust that requires no supervision, are rare in the market.

We conducted a parallel search in two directions: among local specialists in Cyprus and among relocants from Russia and Europe with relevant backgrounds. Each finalist underwent a thorough vetting process, including a review of budget management cases and reference checks from previous workplaces.

The offer was accepted by a manager who had previously successfully delivered several high-end property projects. The entire process from the first interview to offer acceptance took three weeks.
