The Problem
Swindon Borough Council has a large capital programme across its residential stock. The problem they had was not budget, but the lack of surveyors required to deliver the work. Having tried unsuccessfully for 18 months to recruit the roles, they needed to partner with a recruitment company that understood the assignment and had a network of experienced surveyors at their disposal.

The Solution
Panoramic Associates took the time to understand the situation at Swindon, the projects, the gaps and timescales. Leaning on their enviable Asset/ surveying network, the team at Panoramic Associates went to work, qualifying candidates against the key requirements

The Results
Equipped with a thorough understanding of the assignment, Panoramic Associates built a team of 8 surveyors to deliver the capital programme. The project was split in two, to support a phased on-boarding process – this enabled the team to successfully complete their recruitment project.
