The right team is critical to project success. This video breaks down the key roles needed on a typical site and how strategic staffing keeps projects on time and on budget.
Case Study: Bradford Regeneration Project Staffing
Client & Challenge
A Bradford-based contractor won a major £4m urban regeneration contract with a tight 9-month deadline. Two weeks before start, they faced a critical shortfall of 15 skilled trades and labourers due to another project overrunning.
Workers-Direct Solution
The contractor contacted our Bradford team on a Friday. We immediately activated our local network, focusing on candidates with relevant experience and valid CSCS cards. By Monday morning, we had shortlisted and verified 22 candidates. Interviews were conducted on-site on Monday afternoon, and 14 workers commenced work on Tuesday, with the final role filled by Wednesday.
Result & Feedback
The project commenced on schedule. The quality and reliability of the workers led to 9 of the temporary placements being offered permanent positions with the contractor upon project completion.
“Workers-Direct didn't just fill gaps; they provided a team that integrated seamlessly from day one. Their speed and the calibre of candidates were instrumental in us hitting our first major milestone on time.”
— Project Director, Bradford Construction Firm
