Linum Consult Awarded EU Recruitment Services Contract

By

Manchester, February 19, 2019:  Linum Consult is pleased to announce that they have recently been awarded an EU Recruitment Services contract with RB Rail AS: the joint venture of the Baltic states in charge of coordinating the Rail Baltica Global Project.

Rail Baltica represents a major greenfield rail infrastructure project that will integrate the Baltic states with the rest of the EU rail network.  The new high-speed rail network will stretch from Tallinn in Estonia down through Latvia and Lithuania, eventually connecting to Warsaw, Poland.

 

 

Predicted to bring significant benefits to the region; from employment opportunities to freight and passenger mobility; Rail Baltica will be an extension of the economic corridor in North-Eastern Europe and allow for seamless travel from the Baltics to other EU countries.

Under the awarded agreement, Linum Consult is the key recruitment partner for EU hires outside Baltic countries for RB Rail AS.

“We’re very proud to be selected as RB Rail AS, EU recruitment search agency.  This appointment is emblematic of Linum Consult’s continued commitment to providing our clients with exceptional recruitment services that assists them in identifying and selecting only the best and brightest talent globally,” said Francis Ryan, Co-Founder and Director at Linum Consult. “Our firm looks forward to working with the RB Rail AS team on this landmark mega project and helping to deliver a world-class rail system.”

This recent acquisition marks another milestone year for Linum Consult’s growth and continued focus on developing a global network of international professionals.

Linum works closely with the GMCC Trade Team and UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) team, who have supported them over recent years with local and international introductions and trade missions.

 

The road to Iron Man Kalmar

By

With the sweltering heat we’ve been experiencing these last few weeks, the last thing you’d want to do on a Sunday morning would be to swim 1.9k, bike 90k and run 18k! Not the case for Oliver Hague! Hats off to Oliver for completing the Fambridge Yacht Haven Half Iron Man yesterday in 5 hours, 33 minutes and 23 seconds!

Team Linum have joined forces with our good friend Oliver Hague, sponsoring him through his epic Iron Man journey with the pinnacle of competing at the legendary Ironman Kalmar in Sweden on the 18th August 2018.

Keep up to date with his progress on LinkedIn @linumconsult and #twitter @linumconsult, @jolivague

Introducing KAPIO: the new project reporting platform

By

The future of reporting? We believe this could mean the end of the weekly grind to send out reports.

If you still report deliverables using paper, excel and/or PDF please read on. This may be of interest to you, a colleague or someone within your network.

  1. Does your current reporting collect contractual deliverables as well as non-specified variables that could assist event claims, such as weather, material deliveries and downtime?
  2. Do your teams (including site and office) have more than one language in use?

Linum Consult recently started working alongside construction technology provider, Optimise International – producers of project reporting system KAPIO. Have a look at the self-explanatory video http://www.mykapio.com/linum/

Kapio has many of the features you would expect from software designed specifically for the construction industry. It is cloud-based, encrypted end-to-end and works on any device.

However, unlike most reporting systems, with KAPIO, your teams would now be able to exchange reports in 15 languages (currently expanding) to avoid unnecessary confusion and potential misunderstandings using Kapio’s multi-lingual functionality.

With KAPIO, you could also implement strategies to try to avoid delayed payment by ensuring any deliverable variable reaches the right people, in real-time, with e-signatures and automated reporting workflows.

High Speed Rail Industry Leaders: Parliamentary Reception

By

Following on from Linum Consult’s participation in the inaugural High Speed Rail Industry Leaders meeting at ALSTOM’s Longsight depot, Linum Consult were invited to the High Speed Rail Industry Leaders Parliamentary Reception at the House of Lords on the 22nd March 2016.

 

Working with major international civil engineering companies, Linum’s main focus was to identify and establish what strategies will be implemented with regards to future recruitment requirements for this project.

 

One of the key solutions to manpower requirements will be to launch an extensive apprenticeship scheme, as this would be an excellent way for home-grown talent to get started in the industry. This will be an attractive long-term career prospect, since the HSR projects are due to be completed by 2033.

 

Beyond apprenticeships, Linum Consult agreed with many of the tier 1 main contractors in regards how difficult it will be to recruit and retain more senior staff – (specifically talented managers) who will be needed to train and develop the junior workforce. In this instance, we knew that Linum Consult could be of particular service: not only can we manage the recruitment process for well-qualified staff in the UK, but as an international recruiter we would be able to assist in repatriating British engineers who are currently overseas. We have an extensive database of ex-pats who could definitely be encouraged to return home to work on the country’s largest infrastructure project.

 

Another option that we presented to the delegates would be for them to consider hiring foreign nationals who have excellent backgrounds in transport construction projects. Many of the rail projects they’ve worked on are significantly larger than anything we have in the UK, which would be an excellent resource to draw on.

 

All in all, we feel that the HSRIL will certainly benefit from our expertise within the civil engineering industry, and we definitely have a flexible and innovative approach to manage this recruitment process in whichever way suits their requirements.

 

We look forward to meeting with the HSRIL in Birmingham this summer to further explore solutions to satisfy the industry skills challenge.
