Capstone Recruitment UK

Hiring for property and construction firms is a narrow field, and this consultancy works only in it. It places people from trainee level up to board appointments, and it handles retained executive searches at director and CEO level for organisations in the private and public sectors.

Offices and reach

Offices are listed in Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow and Dublin. The consultancy says it places talent across EMEA, North America and Asia Pacific, and its current site describes partners in the UK, the USA, Europe and Australasia. It also states that each recruiter has a core area of focus within the sector and calls on a network of experienced professionals built up over time.

Construction and development across the project cycle

The construction and development team is described as covering every stage of a development: funding, site acquisition, planning, design, sales and management. Its recruiters are said to combine industry background with recruitment experience, which the firm presents as the reason they are well regarded. Search work runs from trainee posts to mid-management and on to retained searches for the most senior posts.

Seven specialisms

The current site groups its work into specialist areas:

• real estate advisory, from investment advice to managing property assets
• construction and engineering, with an emphasis on sustainable assets
• architecture and design, from functional buildings to iconic ones
• sales and marketing across residential and commercial markets
• finance and accounting for projects and businesses
• HR, operations and administration
• data centres and mission-critical infrastructure

Who it recruits for

Clients named in the older copy include property developers, investors, funds, property occupiers, consultancies and contractors. Because it can offer both senior searches and junior hires, a client can use it for a single board appointment or for building out a whole team.

How it describes its approach

The consultancy says it is straight-talking and collaborative, built on a belief that working openly with candidates and clients produces a stress-free, efficient and reliable partnership. Its stated mission is to be the most valuable recruiter in the sector, and it says it supports clients and candidates across every discipline within property, real estate and construction.
