Promoting Social Impact
A leading construction firm wanted recruitment support that also aligned with its social value ambitions — helping tackle skills shortages while making a community impact. Daniel Owen partnered with the Construction Youth Trust to place a young labourer who had been out of work, supporting CSCS certification and a traffic marshal qualification. This approach not only delivered a skilled worker but also contributed to broader social impact goals and a sustainable talent pipeline.
The Client
The Challenge
Our client faced the challenge of sourcing skilled, younger workers to fill key roles, focusing on aligning recruitment with their social values and community goals. They required a recruitment partner to provide candidates and develop a sustainable workforce swiftly.
The Solution
We partnered with the Construction Youth Trust, identifying and placing a young labourer who had been out of work for six months. Upon his placement, he quickly gained his CSCS card and an additional traffic marshal qualification.
The Result
Positive Social Impact: The candidate’s placement demonstrated how structured employment can positively impact the community and meet social value objectives.
Stable Workforce: Daniel Owen’s proactive recruitment and certification assistance helped the client gain a reliable, skilled workforce.
Ongoing Partnership: Our collaboration with the Construction Youth Trust and the client continues. We help the client address the skills shortage, empower young talent, and create a sustainable talent pipeline.
