Why Use Retained Search?

A retained search means you are retaining us as your recruitment partner to ensure you have the best possible outcome for your hiring needs. This process is bespoke to your requirements, and utilizes a thorough, research-driven, proactive approach. We work as your exclusive partner to represent your brand in the market, or, in many cases, to ensure the confidentiality of your situation.

You’ll benefit from an experienced search team, but that’s not all. You’ll also be utilizing construction and real estate experts with deep knowledge and networks within the sector, and a reputation that ensures hard-to-attract candidates will respond. This specialization really sets us apart from other retained search firms.
