Understanding the Client’s Needs

Our journey with Holmes Group NZ began with a series of in-depth meetings to understand each role's specific requirements and how they fit into the bigger picture. Holmes Group NZ values collaboration and commitment, which aligns perfectly with our approach to recruitment. This relationship allowed us to create a compelling narrative for each role, providing candidates with a clear vision of their potential impact within the company.

Customised Approach for Each Role

Each role required a unique approach:

• Quantity Surveyor: We focused on candidates with strong analytical skills and experience in managing costs and contracts in construction projects.
• Group HR Manager: Given the diverse nature of Holmes Group NZ, we sought a candidate with robust HR experience across various sectors, someone who could drive change and support the company's growth.
• Design Lead: For this creative and leadership role, we targeted candidates with innovative design skills and the ability to lead a team through the design process.
• Landscape and Joinery Manager: This role required a candidate with a blend of operational management and industry-specific experience.

Telling the Holmes Story

A crucial part of our strategy was to weave the Holmes Group NZ story into our candidate outreach. For instance, when speaking to potential Design Leads, we highlighted the recent placement of a Group HR Manager who would be their key support in the new role. Being able to describe the new HR Manager and their vision helped candidates visualise their place in the company, making our pitch more powerful and engaging.

The Result

By tailoring our approach and deeply understanding Holmes Group NZ's needs, we successfully filled all the roles with highly qualified candidates. This success not only helped Holmes Construction continue their growth trajectory but also reinforced our commitment to building lasting relationships with our clients.
