Hiring and keeping Quantity Surveyors
Live in Manchester. Get the full playbook - in one room, one morning.
Why we’re doing it
Hiring Quantity Surveyors is harder than ever. Not because there aren’t people, but because the real secrets of QS hiring are being missed.
Most companies run the wrong processes: relying on job ads, piling pressure on internal teams, assuming active candidates are the best candidates, and moving too slowly.
The result? Failed hires. Counter-offers. Churn. Huge hidden costs wasted every time a hire collapses.
Nobody talks openly about these risks, but every commercial leader feels them. That’s why we ran this event last year. It was a resounding success; commercial leaders told us it completely changed how they think about QS hiring and retention.
Now we’re back. This time, we’re going even deeper into our secrets.
What this event is
This isn’t theory. It isn’t a sales pitch.
A live session revealing everything we’ve learnt from years inside the toughest role to recruit in construction: Quantity Surveyors.
The session covers:
- Why most QS hiring processes fail before the offer.
- Why retention collapses after the start date.
- The system that consistently works - and keeps QSs.
We’re putting our complete playbook on the table. The same one we use every day.
Pieces of this insight get shared one-to-one, but never all in one place. This event is the only time you get the whole system in full.
And here’s the difference: being there live means you choose which secrets matter most to you. Ask questions. Dig into your challenges. Leave with the answers that impact your projects.
