Heavy calibre results for recruiter as construction sector boosts demand
Leeds-headquartered recruitment business, Calibre Search, has reported revenues of £5.5m, with a surge in early stage construction driving growth.
The business specialises in the built environment, HVAC, IT and marketing and says it is on course to register revenues of £6.6m in 2022, a £2m increase on its 2020 turnover figure.
Its Manchester staff have also moved into a new 1,461 sq ft Northern Quarter base and will introduce 10 further specialist recruiters by the end of the year.
Pete Gillick, director, said the past several months have been “the busiest period in the company’s history”, and predicted further growth in activity well into 2022 and beyond.
He added: “Part of our vision is to be the ‘go-to partner’ in the industries we service and I think we are achieving that.
“The demand for talent that we are seeing from our large corporation and SME clients is similar to the economic boom of 2005/06.
“While 2020 was tough, we bounced back very quickly. Many of our clients are at the earlier stages of construction and can’t find the right people themselves which continues to drive opportunities.
“We recruit for roles including engineering consultants, construction professionals, environmental scientists, architects, planners and hydrologists and are seeing more corporate activity than we’ve ever seen before. And it’s not just the private sector.
