Vision
Today, quickly finding high calibre property and construction professionals can be a real headache. All too often, recruiters fail to fully understand the client’s brief, fail to present suitably qualified candidates, and fail to work within your projects deadlines.
Higher Capital’s vision is simple: we will be the recruitment partner you can trust. It is our mission to win and hold your trust by quickly understanding your needs, consistently meeting your requirements, and always exceeding your expectations.
Experience and Expertise
It is the founding belief of Higher Capital that to successfully recruit into the property and construction industries, you need to have experienced them first hand. As a former project engineer and manager for one of the UK’s largest engineering companies, I understand the positions, competencies and people in this sector closely. I am also a recruiter with experience solving the human capital challenges of some of London’s largest developers, funds, and equity firms.
These experiences mean I have not only the knowledge and understanding of the sector and its unique human capital needs, but also the relationships and networks that are so crucial to effective recruitment.
Your Recruitment Partner
Higher Capital is formed of experts not only in recruitment but also in property, we can deliver a genuinely collaborative and consultative experience. Success for us is you bestowing your trust upon us to solve your most pressing recruitment challenges.
