Readying for recovery – fee-free recruitment

Although bounce-back is unlikely to be rapid for our industry, we are beginning to see the first chinks of light-after-lockdown, with construction being rightly heralded as a priority in recovery.

It’s encouraging to see No.10 getting ahead of the curve and accelerating the procurement of new projects.  Nevertheless there will be some pain before we recover fully.

“This is an important time for the industry, and a key focus currently is job retention and creation.”

Eddie Tuttle, Director of Policy at CIOB

There is tangible anticipation that these new government projects will both mandate and accelerate digital construction.

Some firms will be well-placed to capitalise on this. For the vanguard of the industry, committed to good BIM and differentiating themselves, there has never been a better time to recruit exceptional talent. However, finding it has always been a challenge.

Finding exceptional BIM Talent

DBE.careers is a trusted and unique source of specialist BIM career intelligence and is the go-to destination for the BIM-career minded. It makes sense to join forces with JohnsonBIM, who have developed highly-specialised knowledge in discerning the best BIM talent over 30 years in AEC recruitment, to create a specialist BIM-only jobs board that will aggregate all BIM jobs in one place.

This one-stop jobs board will make it easier to find scarce BIM jobs and because it will be hosted in a BIM-only environment, it will increase the quality of applications.

We are now inviting employers to join us in this project. As part of our mission to help the industry bounce back from Covid, all job listings will be free for the first three months. We expect this time to be the most challenging for BIM experts seeking new opportunities and when supply will be at its peak.

We will promote this aggregation of BIM roles to our large database of BIM specialist talent, who will be able to apply directly for jobs. In a time where every cost is rightly being interrogated in the boardroom, employers will have zero commission to pay for these direct hires.

Registered users will soon be able to post any existing or new opportunities directly onto the website, with simple reporting available for post views and applications. Our recruitment experts can also provide advice on salaries and writing effective role descriptions to attract the best talent – or they can provide complete listing management for time-poor clients.

We hope this initiative will help the hundreds of talented people who will soon be looking for work, and those companies looking for BIM expertise.
