Industries We Serve: Construction

From rail to airport, through to commercial, residential and industrial projects — the construction industry continues to see sustained growth, particularly in Asia Pacific and Middle East. Driving this growth is the proliferation of mega projects infused with advanced technologies and a focus on smart cities and smart airports. One of the main hurdles corporations in the industry face is finding and retaining the right talent. The impact of losing good talent can negatively impact the companies in various ways, including being unable to respond to project needs, losing project bids, failing to meet deadlines, and failing to innovate.

Today, winning the talent war doesn’t just entail finding the right candidate, but also retaining competent staff as well as having a positive brand name that reflects the advanced technologies of construction sites. Aside from skilled professionals, certain regions are now facing new hurdles in sustaining their labour force. The monumental growth in Asia for the past decade has seen a drastic decline in workers from traditional source countries such as India, China, Bangladesh and Philippines, heading overseas for employment. This creates a new challenge for companies to engage with the right partner for continued labour supply.

HR Quest is strategically located globally, with branches and affiliated offices in core territories such as India, Indonesia, Philippines, and South Korea. This network and supply chain has seen us partner successfully and grow in tandem with multiple companies for their projects and long term manpower strategies.
