Scroll down and judge for yourself, it's about time professionals like you had a better way of changing jobs

YOUR INDUSTRY'S SPECIALIST PLATFORM

PROFESSIONAL BUILT ENVIRONMENT

Well, we talked, interviewed and listened.  Mostly about what you didn't like about online recruitment, the unwelcome approaches, candidate list building, having to wade through lots of online sites, lack of communication from hirers or agencies, having your resume in plain sight, and the danger of your own company knowing that you're looking.  Most of all, you'd rather be approached, with relevant jobs, as mostly you're too busy, sound familiar?

the platform 
A place just for built environment professionals

So what's the built environment?

If you're a professional, working to facilitate , manage, legislate, design or control anything in the built environment then this is for you

Surveying, Civil Engineering, Building Control, Technical and Professional, Real Estate, Financial and Management and Architecture.  Nothing else.

With the global shortage of talent, its becoming easier to move across disciplines and leverage your skills and experience. 

Sure you have dedicated sub sector job boards run by admin or education for your sector, but what if your aspirations are wider than just one niche, you fancy taking your skills to the new hot sector, or you want a fit-for-purpose job search and recruitment service that's designed and engineered for you from the start

To ensure quality over quantity, always
We built the world's best recruitment platform from scratch

Always focussed on you, always free

We've all experienced a job site's interpretation of key word searches - pages of jobs we're just not interested in, out of date roles or irrelevant

 

We don't use key word searches, but instead search for roles meeting your requirements.  

You can search by lots of criteria, for instance a favourite company - change what's important to you on the fly to see real time results.

shortl*st will tell you how many jobs are live on the market place, and how many are via confidential search

You can opt in or out anytime for direct approaches - the recruiter or hiring manager never knows who you are thanks to your quikview profile and our privacy promise

Your own firm or any other you stipulate will never see your profile, and you'll never apply for a role at your place of work, unless you want to!

Each role comes with a match score, like dating apps, to indicate to you quickly and clearly what might best match for you

See less jobs - demand a closer match by changing the match slider - its as simple as that and after a while you learn to trust the system

QUIKVIEW PROFILE

How you're viewed

We use a unique quikview profile.  It shows any hirer all the data they need to know about you at first pass.  You remain anonymous at all times until you apply for a job, or respond affirmatively to a 'get in touch' request.
 
You control what and who sees your information at all times.  We don't need or store resumes.  
If you choose, you can remain hidden from certain companies whilst seeing jobs they are offering

Your platform for your industry will always be free to  you
what you probably don't know
The odds are stacked against you

                                                                                                        When you apply for a job, your resumes are generally first passed into an Applicant Tracking System
 
If the ATS cannot deduce the key words that the recruiter has highlighted as important,  or you have a spelling mistake, or you've sensibly formatted your resume as a PDF to ensure content security format then many systems just reject your application
 
Not included your social media links?  Around 35% of applications are rejected because of no links or poor impact from your social media channels. 

In the time you've taken to read this 2 resumes have been rejected as on average, a resume is scan-read by a human for just 7 seconds - how long did you take to write or tailor it again?

Whether you're responding to a job ad, or a recruiter is head hunting you, they value highly clear presentation of skill sets, a tailored resume, links to social media and blogs and a cover letter (40% citing importance) and you grant those permissions, or not.
 
We handle all this for you, no out-of-date resumes on a central database, just you presented the best you can be.  ANONYMOUSLY.  No recruiting bias whatsoever. Let your experience and achievements do the talking for you
 
You control who sees your profile, and how they contact you. Change your profile per application as many times as you like, with a record of the one you used for that job, without changing your main profile on the platform
 
Roll over the image above to see why the quikview is such an important tool for you, and the recruiters and employers.  With our smart create tool it takes just a few moments to create, AND you can customise it for every role that you like
