Permanent Recruitment

At Building Recruitment Ltd, we recognise that hiring the right permanent team member is essential to your organisation’s success. A poor fit can lead to lost time, resources, and momentum—so we prioritise gaining a deep understanding of your specific requirements, values, and expectations to ensure every placement is a long-term success.

BUILDING STRONG FOUNDATIONS FOR SUCCESS.

At Building Recruitment, we specialise in permanent placements that drive long-term success. Our expertise spans high-impact roles including Project Managers, Site Managers, Construction Managers, Quantity Surveyors, Estimators, and Contract Managers—the leadership backbone of the construction industry.

We also recruit across vital support and operational functions such as Trades, Warehousing, Inventory and Despatch, Accounts, Sales and Marketing, Contract Administration, and Management. These roles keep businesses moving, and we take pride in placing candidates who bring both technical skills and cultural alignment.

Our tailored recruitment process ensures we understand your business inside and out, matching you with talent that fits not only the job, but your long-term goals. Whether you’re scaling up or solidifying your team, we deliver candidates who contribute from day one and grow with your organisation.

Why Exclusive Recruitment Delivers Better Results

Many employers believe that engaging multiple recruitment agencies for a single role increases their chances of finding top talent. On the surface, this seems logical—more recruiters should mean a wider net.

However, in practice, it often leads to duplication, rushed processes, and a race to the bottom.

When multiple agencies compete to submit candidates first, quality can suffer. Recruiters may cut corners, prioritizing speed over fit, just to beat others to the inbox.

This reactive approach undermines the very goal of recruitment: finding the right person for the role.

Partnering exclusively with a skilled recruiter is like hiring a top-tier lawyer or accountant. Your staffing needs are just as critical to your business success.

An exclusive partnership allows your recruiter to:

Take the time to understand your business and culture
Conduct thorough market research and candidate vetting
Build trust with candidates and represent your brand professionally

At Building Recruitment Ltd, we bring over 50 years of industry experience to every search.

We take a thoughtful, detailed approach—interviewing candidates thoroughly and ensuring their goals align with your business needs.

A poor placement can damage both your company and a candidate’s career, which is why we work in the best interests of both parties.

This approach works.

96% of our placements remain in their roles for over 12 months, leading to long-term relationships with both clients and jobseekers over the past 20 years.

Generalist vs. Specialist Recruitment Agencies

Most recruitment agencies operate as generalists, taking on roles across a wide range of industries. While this may seem efficient, it often leads to shallow understanding and mismatched placements. At Building Recruitment Ltd, we believe that true recruitment success comes from specialization.

If an agency doesn’t understand your industry, how can they effectively recruit for it?

With over 50 years of experience in the construction sector, we bring deep industry knowledge to every job brief. Our process begins with a thorough interview—not just with candidates, but with you, the client. We ask detailed questions to understand:

The scope and responsibilities of the role
The team dynamics and company culture
The technical skills and certifications required
The long-term goals for the position

The more we know, the better the result.

This specialist approach allows us to:

Speak the same language as both clients and candidates
Identify red flags and hidden strengths during interviews
Match not just skills, but values and career aspirations

In short, we don’t just fill jobs—we build careers and strengthen businesses.

Our Recruitment Process

At Building Recruitment Ltd, we believe that successful placements begin with a deep understanding of your business. Our process is designed to ensure every candidate we present is aligned with your needs, values, and long-term goals.

Step 1: Discovery & Briefing

We start by learning about your company and the role:

Company culture and values
Management style and team dynamics
Working environment and expectations
Role responsibilities and challenges
Induction and onboarding process
Reason for the vacancy
Five must-have skills/experiences (and their priority)
Career progression and advancement opportunities
Salary budgets and benefits
Interview process and timelines

This information shapes our marketing strategy and helps us build an ideal candidate profile.

Step 2: Search & Screening

We begin our targeted search and develop a tailored interview and vetting program. Our interviews go beyond surface-level answers:

We challenge candidates to explain their achievements
We ask “why” and “how” to uncover real experiences
We identify embellishments and ensure authenticity

Step 3: Candidate Presentation

Once we identify a strong candidate:

We format their resume to highlight key attributes and remove unnecessary “white noise”
We retain the original resume for reference
We conduct verbal reference checks focused on workplace achievements
We supply you with a formatted resume and a verbal reference

Only when the references align with the interview insights do we present the candidate to you.

Step 4: Candidate Experience

Candidates appreciate our process because:

It encourages them to reflect on their achievements
It helps them articulate their value clearly
It prepares them to perform confidently in your interviews

For roles like Project Manager, Quantity Surveyor, or Salesperson, where responsibilities are often similar, our focus on impact and outcomes ensures you see what truly sets each candidate apart.
