UK M&E Contractor

A mid-sized M&E contractor was finding it hard to attract an Electrical Project manager to their business.

THE SOLUTION

There were struggling to get the right candidates due to their office location and package on offer. I arranged a meeting with them, explained the current salary range that these types of candidates were achieving plus due to their location and lack of parking, that they would contribute to parking expenses. Between us we put together a new job spec incorporating the parking expenses within the package plus agreed a day for interview slots so that the client could meet three candidates the same day.

RESULT

Within 3 days we had arranged the clients diary to meet three candidates, after a further round of second interviews for the two best candidates our client was in a position to make an offer and hired the right person for the position.
