The UK’s architecture recruitment market is experiencing a significant skills shortage, with one in five businesses struggling to find suitable candidates. This has created an increased demand for expert staffing agencies and we list more than 400 that cover the profession.
The role of an architect is to design the physical environment. As well as working on new structures, professionals in this line of work may also restore existing buildings and be responsible for drawing up plans, managing costs and supervising the construction process.
Successful architect recruiters will not only require an extensive network and market insights, but they’ll also need an understanding of the technical ability, design expertise, and BArch / MArch qualifications required for the job.
