The Client
High quality medium sized building and property development company
The Issue
• The director needed to fill a very specific role – a residential project manager for a high-spec project that was about to begin for a new client. He’d tried other agencies but was struggling to find someone at such short notice who met the requirements. The project was at risk of falling behind and nobody he’d spoken to had the technical knowledge required.
• The role was specialised and senior – the candidate would need to liaise with the company’s prestigious client, work effectively with architects, handle complex structural design issues and oversee luxury interior work
• It was essential we provided the right person to run the site. Not only was this the first time we’d worked with this company but the director was also concerned that failing to find a suitable project manager would damage his relationship with his new client.
The Solution
• We already knew the ideal candidate – a manager who had worked on a similar project with the same architects and had all the skills required to lead this complex project.
• He had worked with Daniel Owen over the last 10 years but was now freelance. We’d kept in touch, so he was very interested to hear about the role. He met the director to discuss the position straight away.
The Result
• We put the perfect candidate on site within a week and he is still running the project more than a year later.
• His existing relationship with the architects, along with his excellent skills and experience ensured a problem-free site, a smooth project and a happy client
• The client now comes to us for all their positions – including admin, QS and trades and labour.
Daniel Owen is a professional company to work with and I have been well looked after by Theo, they have good lines of communication and always pay on time with no discrepancies. Highly recommend working with this company.
Very friendly and professional. Matthew and Ethan are always so helpful in precuring temporary and perm staff for all of our business needs.
I wholeheartedly recommend Carla from Daniel Owen as a recruiter. Her exceptional skills and dedication ensured a smooth hiring process for my most recent role. She displayed a keen understanding of my requirements and consistently provided valuable insights. Thanks to Carla, I found the perfect fit for my career. Truly grateful!
Very professional agency in the construction industry, and if there’s ever a problem they soon rectify the situation with solid communication,which is hard to come by with previous agencies I’ve experienced.
