How we can help

Get Spencer Riley on Your Side

To lay the first foundations of your executive-level Construction & Engineering recruitment campaign, contact Spencer Riley today.

From the initial consultation stage, we can liaise with your director, president, chief executives and key stakeholders as appropriate, so that we understand exactly what you need from your recruitment process.

Once the process is underway, we will tirelessly seek out the right person or people for the job, ensuring that they exceed expectations in terms of qualifications, accreditations, experience and enthusiasm.

It's likely that the most desirable candidates will already be employed and/or have multiple offers on the table from different employers. Where this is the case, we can lead negotiations to find out what it will take to secure their services for your business alone.

With a global presence, our talent acquisition experts can reach candidates other headhunters would miss, checking and screening their background and eligibility to work in your country, while retaining a focus on available talent closer to home.

Ultimately, we want to deliver the very best value for your Construction & Engineering business, while (where appropriate) establishing a lasting relationship with your hiring managers that will allow us to deliver maximum return on investment with minimal cost and delay, time and time again.
