All our consultants are trained from grass roots or come to us with lots of experience in their sector.  We ensure that the company values are ingrained and that they have a good grounding in Construction, sectors, job roles and responsibilities before we introduce them to clients.

Quality professionals are hard to find. Of course we use advertising and online resources to source the talent, however our strength is our experience.  We have a strong network built over decades that is available to us,  many of our candidates are not on the open market, when you engage us to work alongside you we ensure you get the very best talent in the market.

We take the time to understand your business, plans, team / reporting structure, culture, and competitors to allow us to build the best picture of the ideal candidate. Don’t underestimate your role as the client in the recruiting process, the more information you can provide then the more likely you will attract the right candidate.

We will always be open and honest, offering a consultative approach, providing the you with our professional opinion, so that expectations are met. With a strong brief from the client, a strategy will be developed, and a short list will be approached, interviewed and submitted in a timely fashion, ensuring we communicate regularly to update.
