Freelance
A team of experienced consultants run our freelance division who are experts at placing people in temporary roles. Clients are increasingly relying on freelancers for many reasons. They may need people to work on a project at short notice, or they do not have the authority to recruit a permanent member of staff at that time. They may need holiday cover or people to fill an unexpected resignation or just extra staff to finish a difficult project on a tight deadline. Some clients prefer the flexibility of employing freelance/contract staff for assignments running from a week to a year, or on a trial basis before permanent employment.
We have a large network of high quality freelance and contract staff who offer fast and flexible solutions to meet our clients’ most pressing resourcing challenges.
A large number of freelancers have worked for CSC Recruitment previously with a track record of successfully delivering for our clients. Our freelance candidates are treated in the same way as permanent candidates, with rigorous interviews, checks and referencing.
Permanent
A team of highly experienced consultants and administration staff run our permanent division. Expert at finding the most talented and qualified construction candidates in the market, they work closely with clients advising when great candidates become available, even if clients don’t have a specific resourcing need at that time.
As well as our large database, we also source candidates from client referrals and industry contacts. Every candidate is interviewed personally, so we can really understand what their level of experience is and what is most important to them in their next career move. We aim to find the right fit for both client and candidate.
Executive and Bespoke search
Executive
Making the right senior appointments is essential for business growth. CSC Recruitment provides a confidential Executive Search and retained solutions service to source the highest calibre professionals within the UK and international construction industries. This premium service is typically used for senior board member roles where discretion and confidentiality is paramount. The service is also used for construction management roles or positions that might be difficult to fill or where the requirement is urgent.
With over 10 years’ experience of delivering executive and retained services for blue-chip construction clients, our knowledge, networks and connections ensure we can deliver the best senior people in the industry.
Bespoke
Having worked closely with a large amount of clients for many years we often are challenged to come up with a new approach to meet their changing staffing needs. As a medium sized company we are flexible enough to develop a bespoke solution for our clients that can evolve as your needs change. Being a business that doesn’t like to stand still we particularly enjoy these challenges and often find by tearing up the rule book we become a better business for the experience.
Project Staffing
Winning a tender for a large project with a short lead in period can create a staffing panic, especially if companies are operating with incomplete teams. We solve these situations by providing high calibre staff at short notice. Whether it is for a single large project or framework agreement, we work with clients and assist them in planning their recruitment, trying where possible to forward plan and minimise the need for rushed appointments.
