Bridge Recruitment was delighted to attend and support the Employability Skills Day yesterday at Highams Park School, Chingford. The aim was to give direction and advice for Year 9 Students in creating CVs and preparing for future interviews.

Engaging with the next generation and supporting them with the key skills and understanding from creation of CVs to the etiquette needed in interviews, all of which will allow them to succeed in a competitive job market.

We see first-hand the skill challenges facing employers in today’s market, but also the opportunity that exists when businesses invest in emerging talent and create clear routes into long-term careers. Helping Students to understand this process and anvailable opportunities in construction and FM, this is essential for them and for us as an Industry.

Hearing different perspectives, sharing ideas and connecting with others who are equally passionate about building a stronger, more sustainable talent pipeline for our industry, it was a great day spent with other Employers and children preparing for their career pathways. The future is bright!

The team recently enjoyed a wonderful Autumn Retreat with Fringe Yoga, a chance to step away from the day-to-day, recharge and spend some quality time together.

From a restorative yoga session and mobile sauna to an invigorating ice bath, followed by lunch and meditation in the forest, it was the perfect mix of challenge, calm and connection.

Taking time to refresh and revitalise is so important, especially as we head into a new season with fresh goals and renewed energy.

A brilliant day for the whole team, and a great reminder that looking after wellbeing is just as important as looking after business.

Here’s to feeling refreshed, re-energised and ready for what’s next.

Bridge recently delivered a recruitment project for a client based at One World Trade Center in New York.

Our FM network is built here in the UK, and this project carried it across the water to the Big Apple. While the team were there they went up to level 102, and the view from the top is in the photos below.

The FM workforce is one of the most diverse in the country. It's one of the sector's real strengths, and National Inclusion Week is a good week to say it.

Where it gets interesting for us is management hiring. There's a deep pool of leadership talent already inside the industry - supervisors, team leaders, site staff who have run buildings for years and know the work from the ground up. Reaching it takes a brief written around what the job actually needs, a search that goes wider than the familiar routes, and a shortlist you can explain line by line.

That's how we approach every management search we run.

If you're building a leadership team that reflects the people doing the work, we're happy to have that conversation.

Highams Park School in Chingford is running a Green Careers & Construction Day for its Year 8 students on Thursday 5th November, and Bridge Recruitment will be there for the day.

The theme is sustainability - what it looks like in a real job, and the careers that have grown around it in construction and the wider built environment. We have a speaker from construction confirmed, and we're looking for a couple more employers to join the line-up.

Students get the most out of these days when they hear from a range of sectors, so whether you're in construction, FM, property, energy or waste, there's a place for you in the room.

It's a full day at the school, starting at 8.30am. If you can give us the day, or you know someone who'd enjoy it, we'd like to hear from you.

707,000 vacancies across the UK between May and July - the lowest figure in more than five years, pandemic aside. For anyone hiring in FM, that arrives as a much bigger pile of applications against every role you advertise.

There's an upside in it. Restructures and contract handovers put experienced people on the market who would otherwise have stayed where they were: site managers, contract managers, mobilisation specialists who are available for a few weeks and then placed. Volume of applications and access to those people are two different things.

That's the work we do. We take the brief first - what the role has to deliver in its first year, who is doing that job well elsewhere, what would move them - then approach people directly.

A quieter market also means you can run a second interview without losing your first choice to three other offers.

If you've got a role open and want a hand cutting through the volume, we are here to talk it through.

We're looking for people in FM who can spare a few hours this autumn to change how a teenager sees our industry.

Earlier this year Michelle sat down with Elif Gurger, the new Careers Co-Ordinator at Highams Park School, to talk about something we care a lot about: getting more young people to see facilities management as a career worth having.

That conversation turned into a proper partnership, and this term there's a run of employability events where students get real help and real exposure to the world of work.

First up is a Year 9 Employability Day on 7 October: CV writing, personal statements, and interview practice. The students get far more out of it when the people in the room actually do the hiring.

That's where our network comes in. If you work in FM and can give a morning, you'd be helping young people build CVs that stand out and showing them jobs they didn't know existed.

The skills shortage everyone in our world complains about doesn't fix itself. It gets fixed in rooms like these.

If you can spare a few hours this term, or you know someone who'd be brilliant at it, get in touch: [email protected]

While most of the country switches off this bank holiday, someone's still keeping the buildings running.

Facilities don't get a day off. Hospitals, transport hubs, stadiums, the offices that never fully close. Behind all of it are teams on shift, and the managers making sure it holds together while everyone else is at a barbecue.

It's easy to notice FM only when something goes wrong. The lights, the cleaning, the security, the plant that just works. The whole point of the job is that you don't have to think about it.

So this is a small thank you to the operations and contract managers, and their teams, working through the long weekend. The ones who plan the cover, take the call at 6am, and keep things moving.

We spend our days talking to the people who run these operations, and we don't take for granted how much skill and stamina it takes.

Enjoy the bank holiday if you get it. And if you're working it, we see you.

If you lead one of those teams and you're thinking about your next move, you know where we are.

Most management hires that go wrong don't fail on skills. They fail on fit.

Someone can tick every box on paper, bring the right sector experience and the right CV, and still be wrong for how your team actually works. In FM, where a contract manager sets the tone for a whole site, that mismatch gets expensive fast.

It's why we offer DISC profiling as part of how we work with clients.

DISC is a simple, well-established way of understanding how someone communicates, makes decisions and handles pressure. Used well, it helps you see how a candidate will sit alongside the people already there, not just whether they can do the job on paper.

It isn't about boxing people in or hiring clones. It's about going into a management hire with your eyes open, and building teams that genuinely complement each other.

For a role that matters, at manager level or above, a bit of extra insight before you commit is worth a great deal.

Want to see how we use it? Drop me a message and I'll walk you through it.

You don't get a second chance at your first 90 days in a new FM role.

Landing a senior role is the hard part, or so it feels. Then you start, and the real test begins.

The first three months set the tone for everything that follows. Get them right and people trust you. Get them wrong and you can spend a year clawing back ground you didn't need to lose.

A few things separate the leaders who settle fast from the ones who struggle.

They listen before they change things. Walking in and rearranging everything on day two rarely wins people over. The strongest new leaders spend the early weeks understanding how things work, and why, before they touch them.

They learn the people, not just the org chart. Who really gets things done, who's been carrying the team, and who needs backing.

And they pick one or two early wins that matter, rather than trying to fix everything at once.

None of this is about being the loudest person in the building. It's about earning trust before you spend it.

If you're about to step into a new FM role, or weighing one up, we're always happy to talk through how to make the first 90 days count.
