Quantum Group is one of Ireland’s leading residential developers, managing multiple projects across the country, including Portlaoise, Athy, Mountmellick, Waterford, and Tramore. With a strong pipeline of developments, Quantum needed a scalable and efficient recruitment solution to meet their evolving talent demands.

Talent Acquisition Challenges 

Quantum faced several recruitment challenges that impacted their ability to attract and hire the right talent:

• Over-Reliance on External Agencies – Leading to inconsistent hiring processes and higher costs.
• Evolving Job Specifications – Frequent changes created inefficiencies and slowed hiring decisions.
• Lack of Transparency – Unclear status of open and closed roles resulted in wasted efforts.
• Competitive Market for Talent – Difficulty in engaging top passive candidates in the construction industry.

Without a structured, in-house recruitment function, these challenges led to inefficiencies, longer hiring cycles, and difficulties in securing high-quality candidates.
