Which firm should I contact for the recruitment of a construction executive?

Recruiting construction industry managers: an uphill battle

Without the help of a specialized firm, recruiting managers for a construction company can be particularly tedious. It will be even more so if the position requires specific skills. Indeed, the real estate, construction, and building and public works sectors are currently among those experiencing rapid growth and are constantly hiring. Faced with a job supply far exceeding demand, companies are experiencing what is known as a skills shortage, given that all those who meet the required profile are often already employed elsewhere.

If internal recruitment methods fail to produce results, using a recruitment agency is the simplest solution for external recruitment. In some cases, it can even be much more cost-effective to use a headhunting firm, especially if you have exhausted all traditional recruitment methods.

Construction management recruitment: a reputable firm at your service

According to a study by Economy Watch, a leading economic research website, the construction sector is among the most dynamic in the world. Statistics reveal that the construction industry alone accounts for more than 10% of global GDP and employs one in ten people in the workforce. Meanwhile, energy consumption in the building sector, another indicator that can be used to better understand the importance of this industry, represents nearly two-fifths of global energy consumption.

In France, the outlook for the real estate market also began to brighten in 2015, marked by an increase in transactions and a return of prospective buyers. The various stimulus measures announced by the government, such as the Pinel tax incentive scheme and the new zero-interest loan (PTZ), are starting to bear fruit. The increase in the number of construction starts, while modest, demonstrates the sector's overall health. It is safe to assume that thousands of new jobs will be created in the coming years. Therefore, for companies planning to hire construction professionals , do not hesitate to contact an experienced recruitment agency to find the perfect candidate who is both qualified and a strong match for the desired profile.
