Construction industry 'accelerating recruitment'

There has been a marked increase in the number of people being hired in the construction industry, including those in sales jobs, as the sector "bounces back".

That is the opinion of Richard Clarke, managing director at Midas, who said that firms are beginning to "beef up their teams" as they anticipate a return to growth in the industry and aim to be in a strong position when this occurs.

He explained: "Recruiters expect the sector to pick up as some projects have been idle for two years. Construction firms have cut through the muscle and into the bone, so they will need to really ramp up recruitment to staff these projects."

Mr Clarke added that directors in the construction industry are making big changes to their recruitment processes as they aim to boost productivity and hire the very best workers.

It comes after a report from Markit and the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply showed that the UK construction sector is beginning to show positive signs of a recovery.

The Aaron Wallis Construction and M&E sales team offer many construction sales jobs across the sector. For employers Aaron Wallis offer a construction sales recruitment service that offers 12 month rebate and psychometric profiling within a single fixed recruitment price.
