A different model for construction recruitment.

Most construction SMEs rely on contingency agencies that charge £19,000+ per Project Manager placement, share candidates with competitors, and disappear the moment the invoice is paid.

Siteline works differently. We embed as your dedicated Construction PM recruitment partner on a fixed monthly retainer. We learn your business, build your pipeline using AI-powered sourcing, and fill your Project Manager roles with the consistency and focus that traditional agencies simply can't offer.

Focused on the sectors that matter.

We work across four construction sub-sectors, all using the same core roles, all with urgent hiring needs.

Not another agency.
A recruitment partner.

Traditional agencies are built around transactions. We're built around relationships. Here's what that means in practice.

See How It Works
01

Dedicated, Not Shared

You're one of three clients, not one of fifty. Your roles get genuine focus, every week.

02

Proactive, Not Reactive

We build your pipeline before you're desperate, so candidates are ready when you need them.

03

Fixed Fee, Not Per Hire

One predictable monthly investment. No surprise invoices. No per-placement charges.

04

Guaranteed Results

If we haven't filled a role by the end of the engagement, we keep working at no additional charge.

The traditional agency model wasn't built for companies like yours.

What you get What it costs you
A contingency fee per PM placement£19,000+ per hire (20% of £95k salary)
Three agencies working the same roleNo one owns it. No accountability.
Reactive search, not proactiveYou only get attention when you shout loudest
No pipeline, no strategyEvery hire starts from zero
High volume, low focusYour roles compete with 40 others on their desk

You're not getting a recruitment partner. You're getting a transaction.

Built for construction SMEs that are ready to hire smarter.

  • ✓   SME contractors with 10–250 staff
  • ✓   Regional housebuilders and design & build firms
  • ✓   Companies currently paying per placement through contingency agencies
  • ✓   Businesses where the directors are doing the hiring themselves
  • ✓   Teams with an HR person stretched across too many responsibilities
  • ✓   Growing firms hiring 3+ people per year who want a consistent process

If you're hiring three or more people per year, the fractional model will almost certainly cost you less than what you're currently spending — while delivering more consistency, better candidates, and a pipeline you actually own.

Every month without a filled PM role has a real business impact.

Project delays

Timelines slip without experienced leadership on site. Every week of delay costs thousands in extended prelims and risks liquidated damages.

Team burnout

Existing PMs absorb additional workload. Overloaded teams make mistakes, morale drops, and your best people start looking elsewhere.

Lost opportunities

Tenders you can't bid on because you don't have the headcount. Projects you can't take on. Revenue your competitors are winning instead.

Bad reactive hires

Pressure to fill quickly leads to compromised decisions. A bad PM hire doesn't just cost the salary. It costs project delays, client damage, and a replacement search at £19,000+.

The firms building a consistent talent pipeline now will have a structural advantage over those that don't. That gap widens every quarter.

Hiring 10 PMs per year through agencies costs £190,000. Our fractional model costs ~£63,000 and builds a pipeline you keep.

Trusted by construction leaders across the UK.

Before Siteline, we were relying on agencies and spending a fortune every time we needed someone. Now we have a proper process, a pipeline, and we're not starting from scratch every time a role comes up.

David took the time to actually understand our business. The candidates he put forward were genuinely relevant, not just CVs that looked close enough.

We were doing all the hiring ourselves. It was taking up too much of our time and we weren't getting the right people. Having David working alongside us changed that quickly.
