Senior appointments

• Executive Search and Selection is delivered through our internal team of dedicated search consultants. Their in-depth knowledge of executive roles and markets enables them to identify suitable candidates in demanding timescales.

  Since your ideal candidate may not be on the open job market, we carry out a proven executive search exercise to identify and secure your ideal candidate. All executive search is supported by our in-house team of experienced researchers, who have a wealth of experience within the industry.

Permanent ‘Filesearch’

• We have access to a broad base of talent through our extensive database of professional people on the open job market. This database is constantly growing through our team’s activities and constant presence on relevant job boards and web sites. We are committed to having only top calibre professionals registered; all our candidates are carefully pre-screened by our consultants. We also take time to understand your business plan. Our experienced Filesearch team will make you aware of any talent that becomes available to help achieve your business objectives.

Temporary

• When your workload increases, or you're hit by holiday or sickness absenteeism, it can often be difficult to maintain business momentum. A reliable source of quality temporary staff is an invaluable asset.

  We know you need more than individuals with the right skills. You need people who can fit in with your existing team straight-away, and have the flexibility and can-do attitude to make themselves immediately effective. That's why our starting point is by understanding you and your people, ensuring we supply the right staff with the right skills - every time. Our candidates are also referenced, giving clients the peace of mind that the individual they are employing is reliable and qualified. During these temporary assignments, the client and temporary worker are contacted by us to ensure the service we provide is of the highest standard.

  We are constantly looking at changes in legislation to make sure our temporary workers enjoy the correct levels of protection.

Advertised selection

• When the skills needed to fill a role are relatively broad and can be located in a large range of commercial organisations, then targeted advertising is the most effective methodology to apply. Attracting the correct skill profile and relevant seniority depends on the correct writing and positioning of a suitable job advertisement. We will work closely with you to establish a detailed understanding of your business and culture to define the calibre, profile and character of the required candidate. We will advise on suitable target media, write and place the advertisement to attract the most appropriate response.

Managed staffing

• Our comprehensive ‘Managed Recruitment Service’ allows clients to focus on the value-adding elements of selection, leaving the attraction and shortlisting to us.

  We offer a vendor neutral sourcing service through traditional recruitment agencies, but wherever possible will drive attraction through direct and campaign routes that generate significant cost savings for your business. This is a comprehensive service that drives demonstrable process improvement, as well as reducing cost.

Market intelligence

• Utilising our in-house research team, we offer a long-term solution to your core recruitment needs. Taking a particular discipline for which you have a consistent demand, we will identify all relevant candidates within the field and assess their immediate or future interest in your business. We will then provide a recruitment programme over a 12 month period, allowing us to bring relevant individuals to you when you need them.

  The result is two-fold; firstly, immediate access to a shortlist of candidates that are available; and secondly, the provision of an extremely valuable piece of research data illustrating all potential employees in a given region (or regions).

  The advantage of using this approach rather than recruiting on an ad-hoc basis is simply that we take responsibility for the management and introduction of candidates. So you’re not having to constantly field CVs from countless agencies and advertisements.

  This proactive approach to your requirements can be invaluable when looking to source high volumes of candidates for a growing region or pending major project.

Salary surveys

• With the ever-increasing demand for high quality staff in the construction industry, being aware of how much to pay is an essential aspect of recruitment.

  With this mind, we can provide a structured salary survey to document and present the current average salary bandings within any given discipline or sector. This is extremely useful for staying competitive within the market, and gives you more information to make an informed, balanced decision.
