Solution supports consultancies across construction and infrastructure with targeted search for senior fee-earning professionals.
The service is built around direct search, selective client representation and a deep understanding of the advisory market. Rather than waiting for the right person to apply, Solution identifies where relevant talent sits and approaches them directly.
Advisory Consulting sits on the client side of construction and infrastructure.
These are the professionals who help manage the commercial interests behind major projects, advise on programme performance and support clients when projects become more complex.
The work begins before a project is designed and continues long after construction is complete.
The strongest professionals in this space are often already working and performing well.
They may have little reason to apply for a vacancy and even less reason to engage with an approach that does not immediately feel credible.
At this level, the challenge is not simply finding someone's profile. It is earning enough of their attention to start a serious conversation.
Solution takes a selective approach to client representation.
Mark does not try to represent every consultancy in the market at once. The reasoning is simple: it is difficult to represent one business properly if you are simultaneously working for all of its closest competitors.
That creates a more credible search process and allows Solution to act as an advocate for the client in the market.
The strongest candidates in Advisory Consulting are rarely found by posting a job and waiting.
Solution maps the relevant market, identifies the people most closely aligned to the requirement and approaches them directly.
That means the conversation begins with someone who may already be successful where they are.
The recruiter therefore needs enough understanding of the client's proposition to explain why the opportunity deserves attention.
The first conversation a candidate has about a client matters.
Solution sees itself as an extension of the business being represented.
That means presenting the opportunity properly, answering detailed questions and creating confidence before the client ever speaks to the candidate.
In some long-standing relationships, Mark described clients being prepared to meet people he recommends without first needing a CV.
Mark specialises in senior search across construction and infrastructure consultancy.
His work focuses on fee-earning professionals operating across commercial advisory, programme-focused roles and dispute-related disciplines.
The service is intentionally hands-on, with Mark remaining directly involved throughout each search.
Senior advisory opportunities are often handled discreetly.
When the person you need is already performing well somewhere else, the quality of the approach matters. Speak directly with a specialist who understands the market and can represent your opportunity credibly to the people you want to reach.
