Traditional recruitment is outdated. Add to that a skills gap and an industry perception problem and change is needed. Our software delivers it.
Spending over a decade recruiting for the construction industry, we’ve seen the frustrations in talent acquisition. We believe the construction industry deserves better. A better recruitment process, a better industry perception, and a better way to attract the next generation into construction. At Strategic Resourcing, we’re committed to all three and creating software to address these issues.
“Our clients shared a common frustration. Outdated, lengthy recruitment processes that failed to deliver top construction talent. We built this platform to change that.”
From receiving thousands of irrelevant CVs to the constant back and forth with recruitment agencies leading to endless admin. In an industry with an ageing workforce, coupled with a severe skills shortage, the prevalent struggles in recruitment got us thinking...Traditional recruitment does not work for the built environment industry.
As recruitment agencies upped their prices for talent in demand, we ran a competitive tender exercise to select the best recruitment agencies to work across our digital resourcing platform. What does this mean? Access to recruiters with a grip on regional talent, a centralised digital platform, and preferential rates that were secured as part of our agreement.
We provide a service for our clients by linking them to local talent pools specific to the built environment, whilst also giving them the digital tools they need to take control of their hiring processes. The results? Access to skilled talent pools, a huge reduction in admin and a quicker hiring process. 92% of our clients say they fill roles faster with the Strategic Resourcing platform.
Let's face it. Construction has an image problem. We're not just talking about changing perceptions; we're taking action. By connecting talent with opportunity, we're building a brighter future for the construction industry.
We're not waiting for the skills gap to close itself. From research and white papers to community outreach and actively connecting talent with our clients. We want to build a pipeline of skilled professionals for the future.
We're eliminating the frustrations and complexities of traditional recruitment, with purpose-built software designed to bring the built environment sectors top talent to your business quicker.
