Over the last 11 years, Konvergent has built a client base that includes BT, Vodafone, Arup, Network Rail, Travelex, Abcam, DS Smith, First Group, Accenture, HMRC, Tesco, Burberry and Kier, to name a few.
Over the same period, nearly every client asked whether we also did permanent recruitment. The answer was always no. Ben eventually realised that the experience that makes the associate model work, including writing SoWs, managing architects on client engagements and over 25 years in the architecture market, is exactly what permanent hiring needs as well.
That became our engaged search service. It starts with fully understanding the architect you need to hire, which is often not quite the role described in the job description. Our process then makes sure you only see candidates who want to do your role, rather than people who just want a new job. You spend your time on a shortlist worth interviewing, not on sifting CVs.
We have also embraced AI across our back office and administration, which keeps our overheads low. It means our pricing stays competitive, which was the whole point of setting up Konvergent in the first place.
“Recruitment, especially for something as complex as architecture, should be a consultative partnership, not a transactional sale. If you want an architecture recruitment partner who understands the roles as well as you do, Konvergent is built for exactly that.”
If you are about to hire an architect, book a free Role Clarity Call. In 30 minutes we will help you work out exactly which architect you need, whether or not you go on to work with us.
