SCAPE Group had already hired well directly earlier in the year, but this final role in the team was proving harder to fill. With a strong pipeline of upcoming projects, resource was becoming stretched and the gap was starting to bite. The brief was clear: they did not just want a body in the seat, they wanted the right person, with relevant sector experience, to come in and add value from day one. Getting that balance of speed and fit was the whole task.
We qualified the role in detail, mapped the relevant market and ran a targeted search focused on architects with the right sector background rather than a broad, scattered approach. That focus paid off.
A stretched team got the right hire, not just a fast one. SCAPE Group loved the candidate, offered quickly after interview, and the acceptance landed inside three working weeks of qualifying the brief. Relevant sector experience, secured at pace, with the pressure of upcoming projects lifted.
