Need a new facilities manager? Use a specialist recruiter

Hiring the right facilities manager takes more than just finding someone who has the job title on their CV. You need someone who will best represent your business, work well with clients and contribute to the broader team. 

This is an important role, which could have serious ramifications for your business – and its costs. Can you risk getting the wrong person? 

Here are all the reasons why using the specialist facilities management recruitment consultants at TalentWeb is a smart choice compared to relying on internal recruitment or generalist recruiters. 

1. In-depth industry knowledge 

Our team boasts over 13 years of experience in property and facilities management recruitment. 

We’re one of only two agencies in Sydney with a dedicated facilities management recruitment consultant, with experience working in the facilities space. This deep specialisation allows us to more effectively identify candidates who meet the precise requirements of the role, your team and your business. 

2. Higher retention rates 

We find that candidates placed through specialist recruitment agencies like ours are 30% more likely to stay in their role beyond the first six months, compared to those found through generalist recruitment methods or job ads. 

A new addition to the team is a significant investment, especially a more senior role like this one. It’s crucial that you get the best resource for your investment, otherwise the hiring process could blow your costs unnecessarily. 

3. Efficient talent sourcing 

Here’s something to think about before relying on job ads alone – we’ve found that only around 15% of successful roles are filled through advertising. Instead, the remaining 85% are filled through our network, which we’ve been building and nurturing for years. 

Our specialists speak with facilities managers all day, five days a week. We know how to identify and engage with the best talent in the market, even when they’re not actively seeking new opportunities. Job ads require people to be searching in the right place at the right time – utilising our network allows us to reach the best people at any time. 

4. Time savings and quality candidates 

Did you know, on average, internal hiring managers spend about 60% of their time interviewing unsuitable candidates? All that budget wasted on people who were never going to be right for the role. 

Some HR leaders view specialist recruiters as an expense, but it can actually amount to cost savings – it certainly amounts to time savings. And a lot of time, too. Talent Web can provide you with a curated list of candidates who are thoroughly vetted and deemed a good fit for the role, saving you from sorting through lists of chaff to find the best people.  

We ensure that you’ll only receive profiles of individuals who possess the required skills and meet your specific needs, streamlining the recruitment process and helping you to pick the right candidate from a range of suitable options. 

5. Comprehensive support 

When you partner with Talent Web, we’ll manage the entire recruitment process from start to finish. This includes candidate after care, ensuring a seamless experience for your new facilities manager and a higher likelihood of finding someone who stays. 

Our approach goes beyond what generalist or internal recruitment can offer, because this is what we do day in, day out, and facilities managers are who we specialise in. 

6. Three-month replacement guarantee 

It’s our job to excel, and we’re confident we can find the best facilities manager for your business. 

To demonstrate our commitment and our success rate, we offer a three-month replacement guarantee. That means you’re protected even if someone does choose to leave, because we’ll find another candidate for free. 

This reflects our confident in the quality of our placements, and our dedication to your satisfaction.
