Case Study
Time Restricted Recruitment
Recruiting a specialist project manager within a strict time frame
The Client
A major UK social housing provider with over 100,000 homes across the nation.
The Challenge
An experienced project manager was needed to plan and oversee the delivery of an upcoming programme of works to upgrade housing stock in line with social housing decarbonisation regulations (SHDF). Timescales were unusually tight due to the start date of decarbonisation works, so a clearly defined timescale was agreed upon between Daniel Owen and the client.
The Solution
With our team's proven track record in the social housing sector and extensive knowledge of the decarbonisation agenda and initiatives, we were able to shortlist several strong candidates quickly. We then mapped out and prepared all the interviews and feedback processes to ensure the best candidates were put forward to the client and minimised the time they would need to spend on the hiring process.
The Result
A decarbonisation specialist project manager was appointed for the role following thorough interviews, assessments, and selection processes conducted by Daniel Owen and the client. All key recruitment milestones were achieved, and the successful candidate started on the targeted date.

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.
