Construction and property markets move in cycles, and the right leadership is the difference between projects that deliver and those that don't. This guide covers how to attract and secure talent across the development and construction lifecycle.
Understand the cycle
Talent availability and expectations shift with the market cycle. Timing, pipeline visibility and a credible project story are central to attracting strong candidates.
Sell the pipeline
Development and construction leaders are drawn to the quality and security of the project pipeline. Be specific about what they will build and deliver.
Assess delivery and commercial acumen
- Track record delivering complex projects
- Commercial, feasibility and negotiation strength
- Stakeholder and consultant management
- Sector and asset-class relevance
Compete on more than reward
Beyond competitive packages, candidates weigh project quality, company reputation and progression. Build the proposition around the whole opportunity.
