Awesome experience. My Recruitment Consultant went above and beyond. This was an awesome experience with Michael Page. A+!

The entire Michael Page team was extremely helpful with identifying top talent in a competitive market and aided in filling multiple roles for our organization.

The fact that Michael Page has assigned one person as the single point of contact for our account has helped streamline our search for qualified candidates. Working with one consultant ensures that our needs are understood. We communicate regularly to discuss our needs, provide feedback on candidates, and continually define who it is that we are looking for. As a result, we are spending less time vetting candidates, and we are receiving resumes that are targeted to the specific position, our company and our corporate culture.

Businesses can anticipate a competitive candidate landscape through 2023 as candidates become more selective with career moves and the availability of top talent continues to decline. Running a smooth, condensed hiring process and communicating effectively with candidates will remain key to attracting the right candidate. Comprehensive training and induction programs to ensure the new hires are comfortable and supported in their first six months of employment will help with both staff retention and attraction. My key tips are to prioritize virtual first round interviews and to use this meeting to demonstrate your business’s technology adoption and company culture. This will help your organization to attract tech-oriented employees that are interested in industry innovation. Also, ensure that your compensation package, including PTO and other benefits, remains competitive.

An all-star candidate in construction has experience completing a project from preconstruction to close-out. They’ll also have a bachelor's degree in the AEC industry and software experience in Procore, Bluebeam, and Microsoft Project. Any candidate with a well-written resume and a detailed project list positively differentiates themselves against other applicants.

A top candidate in Construction would have a degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related field. They’d ideally have stable employment history working for general contractors of any size with meaningful project values, not necessarily the biggest players in the market. Experience working on projects where they have seen the full scope and project through is key and culture fit is increasingly important for companies and candidates.
