Verve Partners’ Post

Why industry, sector and job function/purpose experience and insights matter. As recruiters and service provides - it’s all well and good banging on about market positioning, sweetspots, specialisation and ‘expertise’ - with out the ‘who’ (seen it, done - got the T-shirt) - it’s almost impossible to understand the nuance and context. Proven, frontline sales professionals know the job/purpose intimately - equally, they have a solid sense of what a great sales/client stakeholder looks like. Similarly, the day to day brutal realities of supply chain, project mgt, contract mgt and delivery in critical infrastructure is something that only years can inform. Hence, part (not all!) of our talent/people strategy is to find, compete for and develop high performance pros from our Built to Last sustainable markets mission. Welcome. You have a formidable, passionate and supportive leadership team - focused on helping you on your journey. Russ M. Stella Redgrave-Nevison James Macbeth Shaun S. Sally Jowett Kelly Busfield CertRP

Shining a light on the incredible talents and dedication of our amazing team. Introducing our Employee Spotlight Series, where we get to know the individuals behind our patented Green Diamond Service! Nikki Ledford - Director, Vendor Management & Procurement ✅How long have you been here? 13 years! ✅Call or Text: Text, definitely. I need time to overthink and pick the right emoji. 😂 ✅iPhone or Android: Go Droid or go home! ✅Start work late or leave work early? Start work early and finish early. ✅Visit the past or visit the future: I believe that the past shapes who we are, and rather than wishing I could change it, I’ve come to accept it as part of my journey. It’s the experiences, both good and bad, that have brought me to this point. I think true peace comes from being fully present, accepting the lessons of the past, and not stressing about what’s to come. ✅How did you end up in your current role? I have almost 13 years of experience in the construction industry, all with Property Masters, where I’m currently the Director of Vendor Management. I started in various roles, worked my way up, and gained expertise in project management, client relations, and vendor relationships along the way. PMINC took a chance on me back in 2012, and it’s been an incredible journey of growth and learning ever since. I'm proud to be a woman in this field, promoting diversity and supporting others along the way. ✅Favorite part about working at Property Masters: My favorite thing about working at Property Masters is the flexibility and the amazing people I get to work with every day. Over time, I've made many great friends, and those connections have made my experience here even more rewarding. #Teamwork #GreenDiamondService #Renovations #Contractor #EmployeeSpotlight

🏅Case Study: A Long-Standing Partnership in Construction 🏅 We've partnered with a major player in the construction industry since 2006, playing a central role in their IT transformation over the years. Initially, we placed six key members into their first service desk team, and our collaboration grew from there. It grew a lot; we helped build the Technology team responsible for the tech infrastructure of the 2012 London Olympics site! “At a time of significant expansion, following a major acquisition, we partnered with Big Red. Their project-based approach is unique and quickly pays dividends. Big Red takes the time to understand the company culture, meet with our hiring managers, and advise in person specifications where necessary. It has resulted in a very efficient recruitment process where at the end of each 3-week project we are presented with a shortlist and generally hire one of the candidates presented.” — Managed Services Director Roles we've placed include: Field Engineers Service Delivery Managers Project Managers Application Support And more... Key Stats: 2:1 interview-to-hire ratio 163 hires since 2006 16+ years of partnership #Construction #TechTalent #Partnerships #CaseStudy #BigRed
