1 Specialist Recruitment & Talent Management

2 A different approach... Blayze Group was set up in 2002 to fill a gap in the market for a relationship oriented search and selection consultancy within the property and construction industry. Our business growth is a direct result of our continued ability to help our clients gain a competitive advantage through consultative and bespoke talent acquisition services. The property and construction industries are highly competitive sectors where every single employee can have a huge impact on a business s profitability. Today, the retention of high quality staff is as important as the initial sourcing of talent. Our truly consultative approach, where we understand our client s and candidate s short and long term objectives, has proved to be a highly successful way of providing the highest quality and retainable talent. At Blayze Group, we consistently help our clients to improve their attrition rates. For example when we began working with one client their attrition rates were 70% but after 5 years of a close working relationship these rates have reduced to 20%. Our ability to understand our clients businesses and translate their requirements into an effective search and selection programme largely comes down to our experience. Many of the Blayze Group team have over a decade experience in the property sector, something which is unique for our industry. Today, Blayze Group is the preeminent search and selection firm within the property and construction sector.
