Last week Chris O’Connell visited our London office.

Chris has been working closely with our Directors on growth plans and business structure, while also spending time with the wider team through one-to-one coaching and training sessions.

Having built and scaled successful recruitment businesses himself, it's great to have someone around who can share real experiences, challenge our thinking and help us continue developing as a business.

Thanks again for your time and support, Chris. Our team are all looking forward to the next sessions.

The World Cup is officially underway. 🌎⚽

Which means there was only one thing left to do...

Put the team on the spot and get their predictions.

🏆 Winners?
⭐ Best Player?
😬 Biggest Flop?

There are a few contradicting opinions in there and some of us certainly seem more confident about England's chances than others...

Have a watch and let us know your predictions in the comments. 👇

This week marked two years of Rory McGreevy at Streamline Recruitment.

In that time, Rory has become a hugely valued part of Streamline, building an excellent reputation across the M&E Quantity Surveyor and Estimator market through his knowledge, attention to detail and commitment to working closely with both clients and candidates.

Away from the desk, Rory is also one of the great characters in the London office. His more than occasional and more than random outbursts have become part of daily life here, and are guaranteed to put a smile on his colleague's faces (or pure confusion to be fair). 🤣

It's been a brilliant two years and we're looking forward to seeing what the next chapter brings for Rory.

Congratulations Rory and thank you for everything you do. 👏

We not totally sure what inspired this week's question...

Maybe we were just hungry. 🍰

We asked the team for their favourite desserts.

As usual, a wide range of answers, but one thing we all agreed on is there's a lot of good choice out there.

What's your favourite? Drop it in the comments below. 👇🍨

Should I work for a main contractor or a subcontractor?

Is a question we hear regularly from M&E professionals once they've got a bit of experience under their belt.

And depending on who you ask, you'll probably get a completely different answer.

💰 Better salaries.
🏗️ Bigger projects.
📈 Faster progression.
🔧 More hands-on involvement.
👥 More structure and support.

There are strong arguments on both sides.

So for our latest Streamline Insight, we explored some of the biggest differences between the two and emphasise the importance reviewing which environment suits you best.

Worth a read if you're considering your next move. 👇

Reputation is somehow still underrated in recruitment.

There are certain businesses where candidates instantly say:
“Yeah, I’ve heard good things about them.”

And that goodwill can genuinely make the difference when salaries, benefits and opportunities are all relatively close together.

This is a topic we discussed mainly from a logistics perspective in this video, but honestly, it applies just as much across MEP construction as well.

The interesting part is how those reputations are actually built. Usually not through flashy branding or big statements, but the smaller things. The atmosphere in the office, how people speak to each other, whether the staff actually seem happy to be there.

Because people talk, especially in tight industries where word travels quickly.

Watch as the team discuss how company reputation is often built long before someone ever applies.

Hello, is anybody out there?

One of the quickest ways to kill momentum in a recruitment process is simple… silence.

Candidates don’t expect instant replies every hour of the day. Most people are understanding when things are busy.

But if we're seeing interview times on hold, updates disappearing and ultimately communication dropping out, good candidates will check out pretty quickly.

And more often than not, another offer appears before the process even gets going properly.

A bit of clarity is so underrated.

We touched on this and four other habits that damage recruitment relationships in our latest blog. Follow the link below to read. 🔗👇

With the weather looking absolutely glorious for the long weekend, we couldn’t have timed this video any better...

We asked the team for their ultimate summer songs. ☀️🎶

Drop your favourite tune for the sunshine in the comments below. 👇
And have a great bank holiday weekend. 🌞

If you’re a smaller M&E contractor, most candidates understand you probably can’t match the salaries of the absolute top dogs in the market.

But there still has to be a level of realism, you can't be offering £20k off the mark...

Where smaller businesses can really compete though is everything around the salary.

A clearer progression path, more responsibility earlier, a tighter-knit culture, direct access to leadership. We could go on for a while.

The key is being honest about that in the interview process and giving candidates reassurance about where they fit into the long-term plan.

Because you'll find as Kyle Francis says here, a lot of top candidates are looking for that smaller business to truly grow alongside.

Watch as he and Tom Evans discuss why smaller contractors can still attract top talent without necessarily being the highest payer in the market. 👇
