How Able Talent Helps Construction Employers Find the Right People

Recruiting within construction and the trades can be challenging.

An advert may generate plenty of applications, but that does not necessarily mean it generates the right candidates.

Employers can spend significant time reviewing CVs, making calls and speaking with people who do not have the qualifications, experience, location or availability required for the role.

Able Talent takes a more targeted approach.

We start by understanding the vacancy properly: the trade, qualifications, practical experience, location, salary or rate, working pattern, travel requirements and what the employer genuinely needs from the person joining the team.

We then speak directly with relevant candidates and qualify them against the opportunity before making an introduction.

Our relationship with Able Skills also gives Able Talent a unique connection to people developing and progressing within the construction industry, alongside the experienced candidates we recruit from the wider market.

This means we can support employers looking for established tradespeople as well as businesses that are open to developing newly qualified talent.

We work across areas including electrical, plumbing, gas, maintenance, construction and multi-trade roles.

Our aim is straightforward: understand the vacancy properly, understand the candidate properly and make introductions that make sense for both sides.

Less time reviewing unsuitable applications. More time speaking with relevant candidates.
