ABOUT THE COMPANY
Our sister company – Whitelake Recruitment (whitelakeltd.com) – offers blue-collar, temporary employment solutions to the build and civil engineering markets, whether that be a labourer on a short-term project or, a specialist tradesman on a long-term assignment. We offer a personal service to our clients, all made possible by our experience and knowledge of the industry and access to high-quality operatives.
Whitelake has the platform, with systems and processes in place to help speed up your ability to deliver easily – simple systems such as our timesheet portal and back-office support helping you with compliance and payroll, you will be left to build relationships and focus on delivering on the operative’s needs.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Whitelake is growing, and because of that, we are looking for a trainee recruitment consultant or recruitment consultant who is looking for an opportunity that can offer more.
With a sister company – Cityscape Recruitment – that specialises in white-collar recruitment across the whole construction and civil engineering sector (and has done so for over 15 years), we can offer you the link to established relationships so you can create brand new trades & labour links in a number of different areas. You won’t be held to just one sector of specialism. You won’t be held to just one geographical area. You can network and develop leads that are yours to deliver on with subcontractors, main contractors and developers throughout the UK and even abroad.
The current Whitelake team contains very experienced consultants who can not only provide connections but will work with you to grow your skill set and push you to succeed.
The role will be predominantly office based with opportunities to visit sites for client and operative meetings.
REWARDS AND BENEFITS
We base salaries on the experience and ability of each professional we meet but offer beyond the typical level in the industry. You can expect a basic salary from £26,000 to £30,000 plus commission.
In addition to basic salary and commission, we offer generous quarterly bonuses, quarterly target-based office events, regular team social events, ongoing perks and smaller benefits inside the office. We reward our staff so they are motivated to do the best they can and then they see the rewards for their effort.
REQUIREMENTS
Successful applicants will ideally have prior experience in blue-collar construction or civil engineering recruitment.
However, we are willing to meet with applicants who have proven recruitment experience that is not within just this area, for example, those in a resourcer/trainee role who are looking for the next step. Blue-collar experience is ideal, but white-collar consultants will still very much be considered.
We are also keen to consider individuals who are qualified in construction or civil engineering or have previously worked in the sectors we specialise in. The market knowledge and understanding gained from this background offers a unique starting point for a potentially excellent career in construction recruitment.
Due to the operative talent pool we work with, a European Language is preferable, as well as a UK driving licence.
Most importantly a successful Recruitment Consultant will be self-motivated, have a confident personality, be willing to work with a variety of people, be conscientious and show strong organisational skills.

average tenure of our consultants
Cityscape Recruitment is not like any other construction recruitment agency. Our business does not have a sales-driven environment, instead, we reward quality over quantity.
We use our specialist industry knowledge to help introduce and guide construction professionals into companies that best suit their desired career aspirations and personal goals. From Quantity Surveyors to Site Managers to Civil Engineers, we work to the same objective of helping to enhance their careers.
And our relationships don’t end on day one of a new role – we pride ourselves on our ability to build long-lasting relationships with both clients and construction professionals. And we are fortunate enough to work with many leading construction companies and professionals in London and throughout the rest of the UK.
SUPPORTING THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
Our clients range from small, privately owned specialist contractors right up to top-tier PLCs responsible for shaping our country’s landscape.
What our clients say
We have worked with Alex Wallace and the Cityscape Recruitment team for a number of years now and find their service excellent.
They supply well matched and vetted candidates and very quickly understood all our requirements. They have always demonstrated good market knowledge and an ability to deliver to our requirements.
Commercial Director,
Main Contractor
I have used Cityscape Recruitment multiple times over the last 5 years. Very pleasant to deal with and all candidates put forward for interview are well suited to the position and well vetted by the team, so there is no time wasted with unsuitable applicants. I would highly recommend Cityscape. I intend to use them again in the future should any vacancies become available.
Operations Director,
Platt and Reilly Ltd
The Cityscape Recruitment team has always been great to deal with. Always ready to listen to our needs and requirements, a quality some recruiters do not appreciate or have, then advising where they can assist in our staff procurement. We look forward to working with Laura and Cityscape in the coming years.
