Proactive recruitment in the Construction industry

The competition for talent in the Construction industry has increased significantly in recent years – major infrastructure investments, the development of new city districts, the green transition, and too few education spots have created a perfect storm in the entire Urban Development sector. The sought-after candidates are passive, know their worth, and the challenges are similar in many different places in northern Europe.

Hiring managers lack available candidates when the need to hire arises, and candidates get frustrated with generic job offers when they are not available. There is a matching problem in this timing disconnect that causess stress for both hiring managers and sought-after passive candidates. Risks are high – delayed projects, reduced revenues, and an increasing, ultimately unsustainable, workload for employees.
