Construction, Design, Engineering and Energy companies are facing an unprecedented talent shortage. The Federal Governments multi billion dollar infrastructure and construction boom is now well underway. This perfect storm of projects has seen demand for professional staff at all almost unprecedented levels.
The Current Response: A Race to the Bottom
- No real strategy or critical thinking on such a key pillar of business, recruiting the right people for your team
- Recruiters having little understanding of the role, firm, culture and expectations of what the hiring manager wants in a candidate, both soft and hard skills
- Recruiters using the same tools, Job ads, job boards, and random linkedin in mails (which have a 15-20% response rate.)
- Candidates being sent forward to clients in a race to the bottom, not pre-qualified, rarely spoken too, with the focus on numbers not quality.
- No long term view or focus on retention or shared risk.
- Strategies which are designed to focus on candidates who are on the market not in the market.

I have worked with Matt for the past 2 years on a range of positions. Matt understands the equal importance of cultural fit in line with technical abilities. I actually googled him when he left his previous role so that I could continue working with him.

His personal involvement works magic, giving you a real feeling that you are looked after and that everything will turn out for the best. Thanks to him I found a company which is almost second home to me – for that I am truly grateful. Thank you Matthew.
