Case Study: London Construction Recruitment Agency Support
Client Challenge
A mid-sized construction recruitment agency in Stratford lost two key 360 Consultants unexpectedly within a week, putting major client contracts and quarterly billing targets at severe risk. They needed experienced billers who understood the construction sector and could start engaging with live candidates and clients immediately.
labourer.agency Solution
Within 48 hours of the initial call, we presented three fully vetted candidates with proven construction recruitment backgrounds. Two had recent experience with similar roles in London and were available for immediate start. We facilitated rapid interviews and coordinated a seamless onboarding process, including right-to-work verification and reference checks.
Result
Both consultants were placed on a temp-to-perm basis. One started within 3 working days, the other within 5. They quickly integrated into the team, picking up the existing candidate pipelines. Within one month, both were billing successfully, and after a 12-week trial period, the agency converted both to permanent employees, securing their long-term future.
"labourer.agency didn't just fill seats; they provided consultants who understood our market from day one. Their speed and quality saved our quarter and allowed us to retain key clients."
