Hire Success Top 100 Building Services Companies

We’re Greystone.

We think recruitment is broken. Be part of something better.

Hiring the right people is a tough art to master.

We have analysed the top 100 Building Services design consultancies hire success and the results are eye opening......

There are so many variables to consider and all too often the pressures of delivering on time to your clients controls the recruitment process, rather than a focus on building a business brimming with quality.

Recruiters have for years preyed on this reactive need and feed the industry with quantity rather than quality, adding minimal value. This creates a downward spiral of costly, irrelevant candidates who are poor quality and results in a high turnover of placements.

Unfortunately, Greystone hears these kinds of stories every day, and the stats back this up. The average employment duration in the Building Services Top 100 companies is 3.23 years which is well below the UK’s average of 4.5 years. Also, shockingly, 23% of placements last under 1 year and 47% under 2 years and only 19% last over 5 years!
