Recruiting for a building design office can be challenging due to the high level of specialization and extensive experience required for these positions. Therefore, it is often easier to use a specialized recruitment agency such as Vauban Executive Search .
Recruitment difficulties for a building design office
The employees sought by a design office must possess specialized training. For example, when recruiting an architect, the candidate must be capable of designing and managing a project, from developing the technical specifications to leading teams, including liaising with various project partners such as suppliers. This often requires experience, as the ability to handle diverse situations throughout a project is primarily developed in a professional setting.
It is therefore quite difficult to recruit specialists for a design office , as qualified candidates with the required experience are scarce. Most of the best candidates are already employed elsewhere and do not respond to job postings on job search websites. Furthermore, the selection process is lengthy due to the large number of applications, few of which are truly relevant.
The advantages of external recruitment
A specialized firm efficiently handles the recruitment of a candidate for your building design office within a relatively short timeframe. It manages the entire process, from candidate sourcing and interview preparation to candidate screening.
External recruitment offers significant time savings, provides expert advice during the recruitment process, and allows you to recruit candidates who are already employed. The recruitment agency quickly provides a list of qualified candidates, and the company simply makes its selection. When the desired profiles are not found on job boards, the agency can utilize other methods, such as headhunting. This technique allows recruiters to identify candidates who are not actively seeking employment. This is a major advantage, as employers are not permitted to poach employees in this way.
