Case Study
Promoting Social Impact
We helped our client achieve their social and community goals by sourcing operatives with a charity partnership.
The Client
A leading construction firm addressing the skills shortage in the industry while prioritising social value and community impact through sustainable workforce solutions.
The Challenge
Our client faced the challenge of sourcing skilled, younger workers to fill key roles, focusing on aligning recruitment with their social values and community goals. They required a recruitment partner to provide candidates and develop a sustainable workforce swiftly.
The Solution
We partnered with the Construction Youth Trust, identifying and placing a young labourer who had been out of work for six months. Upon his placement, he quickly gained his CSCS card and an additional traffic marshal qualification.
Our approach didn’t stop with recruitment; we provided dedicated account management to ensure the client’s evolving requirements were met. This included leveraging our network of skilled candidates and focusing on skills development to align young workers with the client’s social value goals.
By fostering a connection between the client’s workforce development strategy and our candidate pipeline, we ensured that our placements would contribute to the client’s immediate project needs and long-term objectives.
The Result
Positive Social Impact: The candidate’s placement demonstrated how structured employment can positively impact the community and meet social value objectives.
Stable Workforce: Daniel Owen’s proactive recruitment and certification assistance helped the client gain a reliable, skilled workforce.
Ongoing Partnership: Our collaboration with the Construction Youth Trust and the client continues. We help the client address the skills shortage, empower young talent, and create a sustainable talent pipeline.

I wholeheartedly recommend Carla from Daniel Owen as a recruiter. Her exceptional skills and dedication ensured a smooth hiring process for my most recent role. She displayed a keen understanding of my requirements and consistently provided valuable insights. Thanks to Carla, I found the perfect fit for my career. Truly grateful!
Very professional agency in the construction industry, and if there’s ever a problem they soon rectify the situation with solid communication,which is hard to come by with previous agencies I’ve experienced.
