psd continues to lead the way in executive recruitment for the property and construction sectors, both across the UK and internationally.
The Property & Construction sector has undergone significant change in recent years, as strict lines between specialisations disappear and organisations operate with greater flexibility.
Affordable housing now influences every residential development scheme, while investors and developers discover the potential offered by the private rented sector (PRS). Meanwhile, traditional developers are using data analytics and market research to inform new leasehold propositions and improve tenant management – all the while increasing their technological capability.
Private equity investors and financial institutions look not only at traditional UK and European property investments, but across the world for opportunities. Financing for these is increasingly complex. Property services and FM providers have widened their expertise significantly and operate across the entire sector in ways that would have been inconceivable just a few years ago. Construction companies are truly international, too.
Against this fast-growing, dynamic, increasingly globalised market, psd continues to evolve and optimise its own offering – to remain a leading provider of management recruitment services across the Property & Construction sector.

Roles in Property & Construction
Property & Construction
The process of identifying somebody that we hadn’t come across before, preparing them for interview, the interview and the process up to employment all ran very smoothly, and although it’s early days, I am convinced that in this instance psd has uncovered quite an exceptional individual for us, who fits our organisation very well.
Project Director, GVA
psd perfectly understood the type of positions and companies I was looking for, every offer sent was perfectly targeted which eventually enabled me to find a job that reunited all the criteria of what I consider a “perfect job”. psd gave me valuable advice at every step of the process. On my first day I received an email to wish me good luck, this really differs from other consultant companies I talked to. I had already found my previous job through psd and will definitely recommend it to anyone I know who is looking for a new position.
Investment Associate, Omnam Group
psd clearly understood the brief; kept open channels of communication with the recruiting manager and myself and liaised between the candidate and ourselves to make the deal happen. Responded well to changing goal posts and influences during the search and kept up the momentum.
Head of HR, Durkan Group
psd gave a very good short list with good candidates and kept me fully informed on how the search was progressing and sorted out the interviews very efficiently. It was a pleasure working with you as always. You also provide really helpful advice and thoughts on recruitment, pay scales and the market generally. I have used a number of recruitment agents over time, but find psd the most helpful and professional.
Finance Director, Stanhope
Executive Search firms are retained by employers to fill their most senior positions, so an established relationship with an Executive recruiter can give you early sight of an opportunity you might want to pursue.
Our survey of the residential development sector encompassed 450 respondents covering everything from housebuilders and bespoke developers, to developing housing associations, build to rent and modular providers.
Whether an organisation has 10 or 10,000 employees, Diversity and Inclusion needs to be on the agenda. There won’t be an easy solution, but it’s vital that we talk to each other and ask the questions that need to be asked, in order to break down barriers.
