We worked with the client to document genuine changes to rota structure and project resourcing, then briefed candidates on those specifics rather than offering generalised reassurance. Sourcing extended to returning expatriate professionals seeking a move home, a pool the client had never targeted.<\/p>\n<p>We placed candidates in cohorts so new arrivals joined alongside peers rather than individually into established site teams. The approach also gave each new manager an immediate professional network and a shared understanding of how the group&#8217;s sites were expected to operate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Outcome:<\/strong> 26 site management and commercial appointments in five months, tender capacity increased by an estimated \u00a340m annually, and first-year attrition down from 34% to 9%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Regional Construction &#038; Civils Group \u2014 Construction &#038; Design<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4644","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-case-study"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
