With one of the longest established built environment
businesses in the UK, Eden Brown’s network and
depth of knowledge is unrivalled. Our reputation is
built on long term relationships – relationships that
have developed and evolved over a period spanning
more than a quarter of a century.
Working from a network of six offices throughout the
UK, our consultants are niche sector experts in their
respective disciplines of architecture and interior
design, engineering, surveying, construction, building
services, facilities management and maintenance and
building maintenance trades.
Whether you are expanding your team or planning
your talent pipelines, we can provide access to the
very best talent – and the very best roles.
We provide clients with
access to all the candidates,
whether actively seeking
employment, working for us
or in another temporary or
permanent role.

PERMANENT WORKFORCE
All businesses have a requirement for temporary staff at one time or another. This could be for
a number of reasons: covering unexpected peaks or seasonal variations in demand for labour,
providing cover for permanent staff or as a way of bridging a skills gap within the organisation.
The flexible nature of a temporary workforce allows businesses to adapt quickly and more easily
to peaks and troughs in labour demand.
Temporary recruitment
For all managers, time and expertise are critical factors in the efficient running of your business
- businesses that can attract and employ the best candidates grow quickly, becoming better
and more attractive as a result. Businesses that don’t, will experience higher rates of staff
turnover and potential stagnation.
Unfortunately finding the right person can also be a full-time job, so working with a recruitment
consultancy naturally speeds up the recruitment process and crucially allows you to get on with
running your business.
With a view of the entire candidate pool within your discipline, our recruiters quickly narrow the
field based on primary criteria such as salary, experience and qualifications before spending
time pre-interviewing each candidate. We get to know what drives them, what motivates them,
their expectations, preferences, strengths and weaknesses. This ensures that when we come to
shortlist, we are confident in presenting you with the candidates who are the best fit for both
your role and your company.
Permanent recruitment
Because it is so fast-moving, the market for temporary workers can also disadvantage hirers –
the best talent is available for only a few weeks at a time and often not ‘actively’ seeking work.
Direct advertising and traditional methods of attracting workers only scratch the surface.
Eden Brown’s consultants help fill the gap in business’ recruitment expertise. Because we work
on attracting and sourcing specialist candidates all day, every day (and have been for the last 26
years), we know who the best candidates are, where they’re working and what project they are
currently working on. This comprehensive view of the local temporary recruitment market
improves the time taken to fill vacancies and provides our clients with access to the hidden
depths.
4. Architecture

in-house commercial departments, our consultants are immersed in the sector every day and
have developed extensive networks and an unparalleled market knowledge.
From qualified architects making the next step up to project management through to studios
needing Revit Technicians to meet a deadline, we have the experience and resources to deliver

The construction division has been one of Eden Brown’s key growth areas, matching increased
infrastructure spending and the growing demand for housing as consumer confidence returns.

with a fast-paced, challenging labour market.
We work with developers, main contractors, sub-contractors, cost and project management
consultancies, local authorities and end-users.

Our extensive experience and knowledge of the building maintenance trades market has
enabled us to work closely with a wide variety of clients over the past 10 years: local authorities,
registered social landlords, university and NHS estates, public landlords, MOD estates and their
supply chains.

Climate change, energy scrutiny, skills shortages and rapidly emerging technologies all mean
that the building services market has had to adapt quickly. This market has been one of Eden
Brown’s core areas of supply throughout our 26 years in business and our knowledge of the
people, the innovations and the history behind it enable us to find the scarce, specialist talent
that this sector needs.
