UK Based Roofing Contractor

A Managing Director of a well-established Roofing Contractor was struggling to find a Flat Roofing Contracts Manager for their head office. They had had the position open for a while, but the area they were based in meant they were coming across the same limited selection of candidates.

THE SOLUTION

The main problem in this instance was that the candidates in this area were already very well known in the industry, and the company wouldn’t have been able to find a fresh candidate from a simple job board search.


Through discussions with the client, it had become clear that other agencies had been sending the same people through for months, we have luckily been building up our database for the last 10 years meaning the people we are contacting may not necessarily be actively showing they are considering moving positions.


This is how we were able to send over fresh CV’s for the client to review.

RESULT

Within a short space of time we were able to provide suitable profiles and booked in the preferred candidate for a face to face the following week.


After a further two stages the number choice was offered and hired.



As a result of our work, we maintain a very close relationship with this client and the candidate placed there as a Contracts Manager has already progressed to Contracts Director level within the space of 1 year.
