When it comes to finding a reliable recruitment agency that specialises in scaffolding it can be hard to know where to start. Below we have some tips on certain criteria you should look out for, and how ESD Recruitment can assist in your scaffolding recruitment needs.

Understand the market

It’s important that both you and your recruiter have a clear understanding of what you need before entering an agreement. Here at ESD Recruitment, we ensure we fully understand your company’s culture and project requirements. We believe communication is of the utmost importance, and by learning details such as the overall duration, cost and timeline.

Reading the agreement (terms of business) can be a mundane task, however, we make our terms crystal clear. We understand that time is of the essence, therefore we make clear any terms before entering into an official agreement. ESD Recruitment started and specialised in scaffolding and construction recruitment from the start due to our personal experience within the construction industry.

Compliance

It is important to ensure recruitment agencies are fully compliant with any regulations needed. This includes obtaining ensuring candidates have the right to work within the UK, hold the correct cards/qualifications to work on-site and pass any relevant background checks.

Ensuring the agency itself has the correct procedures in place is also important. ESD Recruitment implements the highest degree of quality control, meaning the highest quality of candidates is always submitted to our clients. We believe the recruitment process is continuously evolving, therefore we utilise the most up-to-date recruitment practices to ensure high-quality and quantity candidates.

The importance of choosing the right scaffolding agency

Selecting the right scaffolding agency is of the utmost importance for the success of any construction project. Scaffolding provides a temporary structure supporting workers and materials during construction, repair, or maintenance. Scaffolding contributes to the overall efficiency of the project, so having the right workforce can make or break your construction project. An experienced scaffolding recruitment agency will understand your construction requirements whilst ensuring the workforce has the relevant training and qualifications to complete the job to a high standard.

Factors to consider when choosing a scaffolding agency

Experience and expertise

One of the key factors to consider when choosing a scaffolding agency is its experience and expertise in providing high-quality candidates for construction projects. When looking for a scaffolding agency, it is worth asking the type of clients they have previously supplied and examples of projects to see if they align with what you are looking for.

Pricing

All construction projects have a predetermined budget that they are required to stay within. You will benefit from being honest with the scaffolding agency on how much you can spend on trades and labour. This will enable them to work with you to source the right candidates in the most cost-effective manner. ESD Recruitment also offers a client reward scheme, which creates a mutually beneficial relationship between us and the clients. If you would like to know more simply contact one of our team on 01708 973038.

Availability and responsiveness

The availability and responsiveness of the scaffolding agency are also important considerations. Construction projects have tight deadlines, and delays in the workforce can impact the overall progress. You may realise that you need an extra pair of hands on a Friday for Monday which requires swift and efficient action by the scaffolding agency. ESD recruitment have been able to fill roles in less than 24hours notice, along with ensuring they are ready to go over the weekend to ensure clients are still working within tight deadlines.

Conclusion: Making the right choice for your scaffolding agency needs

Choosing the right scaffolding agency is a critical decision that can significantly impact the success and safety of your construction project. By considering factors such as experience, safety measures, reputation and pricing you can make an informed decision.
