ABOUT OUR CLIENT
OVERVIEW
After beginning our collaboration, their recruitment was paused due to project delays. We maintained contact with the client, who then reached out to us again when they were ready to restart recruitment.
UNDERSTANDING THEIR NEEDS
They required the candidate to have expertise in Revit and experience of assisting with design development, planning and supporting in the provision of tender documentation. They additionally needed to have knowledge of Irish Building Regulations and construction.
Collaboration is key within this client’s culture and they were looking for inquisitive, curious, team players that were keen to learn and further develop their skills.

High competition in the market
CLIENT AIMS
Our client needed their recruitment partner to provide a consultancy approach, fully qualifying the role and learning about their studio, the environment and where previous candidates had not met their criteria.
Their objectives were to:
Position themselves as an employer of choice
Secure a high-quality candidate
Fill the position prior to project start
OUR BESPOKE STAFFING SOLUTION
We used our extensive Irish networks and market mapping to identify candidates that we felt were a potential match. Using detailed competency-based interview techniques, we were able to rule out several candidates prior to identifying the first candidate we felt matched their needs.
On submitting this candidate, the client was immediately impressed and arranged an interview. They were so impressed with the candidate that they requested we hold fire on submitting any further candidates.
This candidate was offered and accepted the position.
We were later provided a Mid-Senior Architectural Technologist role to work and we followed the same process again. For this role, we also only needed to submit one candidate to fill the role.
DELIVERING ADDITIONAL VALUE
Understood their business and their requirements in such detail that we were able to fill both roles by submitting only one candidate to each.
Provided market intelligence regarding the current market, trends and salary benchmarking.
Acted as Brand Ambassadors to promote the client’s brand.
Delivered a candidate onboarding process to ensure that new starters are fully compliant including right to work and referencing.
even if they are in the future.
