Posted by Daria Tkach, Senior Recruitment Consultant on Monday, October 16, 2023
Finding the right job in the construction industry can be a daunting and challenging task, whether you're looking for opportunities in the UK or elsewhere in the world. The job searching process can be made easier, by working with a specialist construction recruitment agency. In this blog post, I will discuss the advantages of working with a specialist recruitment agency like Maxim Recruitment and how we can support you with your next career move.
Construction Industry Expertise
Specialised recruitment agencies have a deep understanding and knowledge of their market. This includes market trends, insights, and specific needs of employers. This expertise can help you identify the right opportunities and make informed career decisions. Maxim Recruitment consultants offer a personalised service by listening to what you are looking for and giving you deep coverage in a number of construction sectors that we specialise in.
For example, my specialism within the agency is Quantity Surveying and Clerk of Works roles. By focusing on this market, I have developed a valuable network of exclusive and specialist industry contacts. This means better access to unique opportunities, as often employers don’t advertise all available positions and instead come to me for a premium recruitment service. The same applies to our other specialist recruitment areas including construction claims and disputes, engineering, tunneling, rail and geographical areas of focus including Toronto, Vancouver, Hong Kong and Australia.
We can help through the whole recruitment process
A good recruiter will be there for you, the jobseeker every step of the way, from initial application, help with CV writing and optimisation, preparing and undertaking the interview process through to job offer and salary negotiations. Take a look at our specialist career advice.
A specialist recruiter, like Maxim Recruitment, will be well informed about salary benchmarks in your field, so they can assist you with negotiating a better salary and package on your behalf. We run a salary benchmarking survey within construction claims and disputes regularly.
I like to stay in touch with the candidates I have helped into new jobs, and this level of care is what sets us apart from most other recruiters in the construction industry. Working with us will ensure that your job application process is streamlined and efficient, saving you time and effort to lead to lead to a more advantageous outcome.
