TAD

Solution has supported TAD for the past three years, providing recruitment across its live data centre construction and fit-out projects.

Rather than supporting one isolated discipline, Solution works across the breadth of TAD’s recruitment requirements, covering white-collar management roles alongside trades and labour, as well as administrative positions. This gives TAD a single recruitment partner able to respond across multiple areas of the business.

Supporting recruitment across the entire project team

TAD operates as a principal contractor delivering construction and fit-out work within live data centre environments.

Solution has supported the business across a wide range of positions, including Project Managers, Construction Managers and Health & Safety Managers, as well as trades and labour requirements.

The relationship extends beyond site-based hiring, with Solution also supporting administrative roles when required.

This breadth means TAD does not need to engage different recruitment businesses for different parts of the organisation. The Solution team works collectively across the account, ensuring the right specialist handles each requirement.

Reaching candidates beyond the immediate location

One of the biggest recruitment challenges for TAD is geography.

Many data centre projects sit outside central London, making access to suitable people more difficult, particularly when candidates need relevant construction experience and the ability to travel to project locations.

Solution draws on more than 20 years of construction recruitment experience and established management networks to reach professionals who may not be available through conventional advertising alone.

That existing network allows the team to respond to location-sensitive requirements without beginning every search from scratch.

An embedded recruitment relationship

Solution speaks with TAD several times each week and supports recruitment requirements as they arise across the business.

Candidates are screened for the relevant site requirements before introduction, including checks around CSCS cards and appropriate safety qualifications.

The relationship is deliberately simple from the client’s perspective. TAD has a consistent point of contact within Solution, while the wider team can draw on specialists across permanent recruitment and Trades & Labour when required.

That approach has resulted in particularly deep involvement on one current live data centre project, where Solution has placed approximately 70% of the staff working on the scheme.
