Working with select trusted partners, I offer specialist permanent white collar Residential Construction Recruitment services to both Clients and Candidates.
Today's Construction market is tough, not only for the Developers and Contractors striving for survival amid planning constraints and the need for land and affordable housing, but for the Recruitment within it.
Strong calibre staff are in short supply and high demand, these people are fully aware of this and should they feel at any time that they are not entirely happy in their current role, they will rarely post their CV on job boards.
They are the hidden gems that must be carefully sought out.
Why will they not post their CV on job boards? For the very same reason that I would not if I were in their position, as they would be descended upon by a mass of pushy Recruitment consultants.
Sadly, recruiters are no longer considered to be trustworthy individuals who have the Client's or Candidate's best interests at heart. The market has become rife with money-hungry target-driven call centres who simply look at the Candidate as a commodity that is to be traded for a fat fee, they have lost sight of what their "product" is.
To me, Recruitment is not about selling a "product" to a Client, it never has been and it never will be.
Candidates are people with feelings, families and livelihoods to protect. Every Candidate is different and every Candidate deserves to be able to trust in their Recruitment consultant to do the right thing by them, being transparent, honest and going the extra mile to find them the right role that fits their criteria.
As the saying goes, "If you enjoy your job you will never have to work a day in your life", and it thus stands to reason that people who are happy in their jobs do not leave.
Of course I am not a miracle worker, nobody is perfect and we can't get everything right 100% of the time, but my word is my bond and what I can guarantee is that I will always give 100% effort to find the best fit for Client and Candidate alike.
For my Clients, I offer a full and in depth understanding of not only your Business and the specification in terms of a Candidate's experience and qualifications, but to ensure that their aspirations, motivation to move and character are of the best possible fit to your Company culture.
All Candidates will be fully referenced and interviewed to my satisfaction, as well as being interviewed against your unique job specification.
Coupled with this you can expect loyalty, tenacity, an excellent standard of Customer Service and additional support in terms of Candidate sourcing from my select and trusted Partners.
For my Candidates, first and foremost I offer you the utmost discretion. I offer you understanding, honesty, transparency and patience, knowing that often the right job role takes time to come to fruition.
If I do not have a current vacancy that suits your unique requirements then I will seek to find you one.
You are in control. It is your future after all, I am just here to guide you.
Having spent several years in employed Recruitment as a specialist in the Residential Construction sector, I made the decision to step away from employment to do things my way.
I resented the high pressure environment where I was expected to sell a "product" to a Client and in some cases even asked to "recycle" candidates by poaching them after the rebate period had surpassed.
For me this took away everything that I enjoyed about Recruitment.
It was asking me to be dishonest to the Clients and Candidates with whom I had built bonds, and this went against everything that I stand for.
Now, as an independent Recruitment consultant, I am proving that it is possible to Recruit with Integrity.
I have been recruiting for several months and across the first 3 months of 2015 Emma provided only high calibre candidates who were interested in working with Bloor Homes, outperforming the dozen or so other recruitment agencies and headhunters I was talking with.
If and when I have any further staffing needs, I will be contacting Emma direct.

Emma has been the most dedicated consultant I have had the privilege to meet and work with. I highly recommend that any true professional looking for a position in a valued company should use Emma. Her work ethic and personal touch are a great asset to her and any client wishing to use her skills within the industry.
Emma worked hard to ensure she only recommended me for jobs that would suit my personality as well as my skills. She did this by taking the time to talk to me and understand my requirements. I would gladly recommend Emma to anyone looking for a move.
Emma is a very diligent and honest recruitment consultant, qualities that can be hard to find in the industry nowadays. I have found that Emma is also a very down to earth and supportive character. Selflessly in helping me secure my first career job, Emma put me above herself and her company, 3 years later it's the best move I've made.
