New Construction Jobs Board - Dedicated to Agencies

A new online recruitment tool, designed to help recruitment agencies in the construction industry harness the power of online advertising, has been launched.

The pioneering site, named construction4professionals.co.uk, is a construction specialist job board that advertises recruitment agency vacancies only. The site went live on the 20th November and already has 25 construction recruitment agencies on board including top players; Options Employment, ADR Construction and Now Recruitment.

Online advertising is recognised today as the best way to attract candidates due to its scope, simplicity and cost effectiveness. Some would argue that the increasing popularity of online advertising amongst end employers marks the end for recruitment agencies; however, construction4professionals.co.uk believes that agencies should not see this technology as a threat, but should embrace it and use it to continue attracting quality candidates on behalf of their clients.

Construction4professionals.co.uk brings together the recruitment agency and the technology behind online recruitment advertising, to provide jobseekers with a quality range of professional construction vacancies; and to provide construction recruitment agencies with a quality range of construction workers to present to the UK construction industry.

The team behind construction4professionals.co.uk chose the construction industry as the best place to start utilizing this technology due to the high demand for skilled construction workers in the UK. ëConstructionSkillsí, the sector skills council for construction, has forecasted that 348,000 new construction workers will be required, between now and 2010 to meet UK project demands, this is an average of 87,000 new recruits a year.

The power of agencies is that they are skilled in providing end employers with a highly focused shortlist of candidates, something that job boards just canít achieve alone. Recruitment agencies understand the industry and the importance of providing good quality candidates in a timely manner, which is why they continue to play an important role in the recruitment of quality construction professionals.

ìRecruitment Agencies still play a vital role within the construction industry and construction4professionals.co.uk provides a platform for these agencies to advertise their vacancies and attract candidates within a construction specialist environment. We are totally upfront about the siteís status as an agency only site which means candidates and agencies know exactly what they can expect from the siteî Comments Rebecca Dawson, Senior Account Manager for constrction4professionals.co.uk

ìWe hope to use the site to promote the importance of recruitment agencies within the construction sector and to help agencies feed the growing demand from UK construction companies for professional construction workersî concludes Rebecca.
