Smarter Hiring: Cost-Effective Talent Strategies That Drive Value 

In today’s uncertain economy, with margins under pressure, businesses must rethink how they attract and retain top talent. Traditional hiring models are no longer fit for purpose—reactive, costly, and often failing to deliver long-term value. Employers need a more strategic and cost-effective approach to securing leadership talent.  

At Kilburn Jackson Search, our retained search model offers a smarter solution. Unlike contingent hiring, which can be unpredictable and inefficient, our approach delivers a structured, proactive, and financially optimised way to build high-performing leadership teams.

By partnering with us on a retained basis, you ensure:  

- Reduced long-term hiring costs through strategic talent pipelining.  

- Guaranteed access to the best senior-level talent in the construction industry.  

- A consultative, data-driven process that aligns recruitment with business goals.  

- A focus on quality over quantity, ensuring every hire delivers real impact.
