Jack Gilson-Slater

Recruitment Consultant – Construction

How long have you been recruiting for the Construction Industry?

I first become a Consultant in January 2021.

Has this been locally or further afield?

I have worked closely with leading building developers and main contractors within London, and clients who build within the Essex, Berkshire, Hampshire, Hertfordshire, and Cambridgeshire regions.

For what types of organisations have you recruited candidates?

A range of organisations including five-star housebuilders, along with social housing companies who work on multiphase sites across the UK. We supply individuals such as Finishing Managers, Site Managers, and Project Managers. Also, I have sourced for local businesses supplying Blue Collar Operators.

What do you think is a key skill or knowledge required to recruit for the Construction Sector successfully?

You must build a trusting relationship with your client to ensure you match the correct individual for their needs. Trust is built with clients by each consultant ensuring they are confident that the applicant they put forward has the correct skill set and interests for the job in hand.

What do our clients and candidates say about us?

I contacted Jack via LinkedIn to assist me in finding a new role. His knowledge and expertise in the industry are second to none. He took the time to get to know exactly what career move I was looking for and he managed to find the exact fit for me. I will be contacting Jack again.”
Jack really took the time to get to know us as a business, he has great contacts and is a pleasure to work with. We look forward to working with him again on our next recruitment drive.”
