Why candidates choose HDi

We start with you, not with a requisition to fill. The people we place today are often the clients who hire us tomorrow. That only works if we treat the first conversation with care.

We know what a Quantity Surveyor is. We work in verticals — cost, project advisory, claims and dispute, built-environment leadership, and data center and mission-critical programmes — not as a generalist shop that learns your job from a Wikipedia page.

We are honest about salary and fit, even when the answer is no. We do not mailshot your curriculum vitae. We do not share it without your consent. That promise is written in full on our Candidate Charter.

We stay with you from the first call through interview, offer, resignation and start.

A major statewide consultancy in the United States, headquartered in New York, has hired us on a retainer.

We are working with a major international consultancy and have placed nearly forty people with them this year.

Our Candidate Charter: You are a person, not a placement. We are honest on salary and fit. Your curriculum vitae is never shared without your consent. We reply, even when there is no update. We stay with you through the whole move.
