Business Unit Director, Mace MEP

I have worked in Board level positions within Project Management and Cost Consultancy businesses for over 20+ years, during which time, I have had the pleasure of working with Christian as both a client and a candidate. Throughout this time Christian has demonstrated his extensive knowledge of both my business and competitors, sourcing the right candidates against the roles I have given him. People Group is an agile business with a unique insight into the demands of tier-1 construction consultancy businesses. What sets Christian apart is his human touch, positive approach, professionalism and attention to detail. A recent example of this would be Christian assisting me through to my own recent career change. He was supportive, consultive and gave great advice on my potential options in the market. He made the entire process and transition simple, coaching my decision making process throughout to ensure I picked the right option for me. I look forward to working with him and his team in the future.

Whilst PMO for Mace's Better4 Project I had regular interaction with People Group. Without fail I received quick courteous responses; Their processes were abundantly clear and worked efficiently. There was a constant willingness to help and I do not think I have ever come upon such an efficient, or more pleasant team. I miss those days!

PMO Analyst, Mace Group

Changes within the talent acquisition team coupled with an increase in secured work, left us with more vacancies than we could deliver; as such we needed interim external support, which meant reaching out to People Group as a trusted partner. A Principal Consultant was identified as the resource to be seconded into the existing TA team. It became clear very quickly that we had uncovered the perfect solution for the task at hand. People Group gelled with the existing team, built immediate relationships with stakeholders across the business and opened up new talent pools within niche markets. People Group were instrumental in driving change across long established processes whilst identifying efficiencies at every level. They challenged poor behaviour in a productive way and took historically difficult, stubborn stakeholders on their 'journey’.An initial period of 3 months with Mace soon extended to 9 months, concluding with People Group becoming key in the TA team. People Group delivered above and beyond our expectations, recruiting great talent, reducing agency spend within the engine he recruited for, leaving a legacy of great happy candidates and happy clients. He went above and beyond, integrating into the team fully, even supporting Mace charity partners on volunteering days and ultimately replacing himself with a permanent employee who has settled well.If any one of our competitors, supply chain or clients were looking for an embedded or interim internal recruitment solution, I would highly recommend The People Group; we were sorry to see their time with Mace come to an end.
