We were asked by our clients to provide a solution to prove our commitment to local spend around communities and projects.

This is the solution we have been rolling out to large projects to manage the flow of recruitment in those areas, and also rural projects which have smaller populations and operative pools.

Before a client project commences, we’re able to set up our Recruitment Beacon to start attracting the most local candidates and operatives.

This gives us the best reliability rates for operatives, time to train and certify local prospective operatives but also the highest calibre candidates. It’s part of our commitment to meet localised spend objectives and leave a lasting positive impact on communities surrounding our projects, with a more employable and more highly skilled workforce after completion.

Other applications for this technology have included promotion of our clients’ various employability and training days, again helping to upskill local people and ensuring positive socioeconomic legacies for all projects.
