Consultation
A Consultation Built Around You, Not a Script
Free Consultation — Candidates & Employers
Whether you're a mid-senior construction professional quietly wondering what's out there, or a hiring leader with a role you need to get right, Becky Kitson will take the time to really understand your situation — before anything else happens.
10+ years specialist recruitment experience
Mid-senior to board-level appointments across construction & housebuilding
No pressure. No cold pitching. Just honest guidance.
Most recruitment calls feel like you've walked into an interview you never agreed to. This one's different. Becky Kitson has spent 10+ years specialising in construction and housebuilding recruitment, and she starts every conversation the same way — by listening. No script, no pitch, just a proper two-way discussion so she can understand what you actually need before anything moves forward.
There's no pressure to commit to anything. Becky won't push a role you're not sure about or put a candidate forward who isn't the right fit. It's just an honest conversation — and that's what makes everything that follows work.
What the Consultation Covers
Whether you're weighing up your next career move or trying to fill a position that keeps proving difficult, Becky shapes every consultation around what matters to you — not a checklist.
For Candidates
- A real conversation about your experience, where you want to go, and what your ideal role looks like
- Straight-talking guidance on where your profile sits in today's market — salary expectations included
- Access to roles that never get advertised publicly
- Genuine market insight from someone who works at mid-senior to board level every single day
- A clear sense of what happens next — no guessing, no radio silence
For Employers
- A proper briefing on the role, your team culture, and the kind of person you're really looking for
- An honest read on the talent market and realistic timeframes — no over-promising
- A discussion on whether a contingent or retained search makes more sense for your situation
- Clarity on how Becky screens and shortlists, so you only see candidates worth your time
- No irrelevant CVs landing in your inbox
Why This Conversation Matters
The frustration we hear most — from both candidates and employers — is the same: nobody actually listened. Agencies fire off CVs without reading the brief. Recruiters nudge people into roles that don't suit them. And then the communication just... stops.
The consultation is how we avoid all of that. It's where Becky builds up a picture detailed enough to make introductions you can genuinely trust. It's why Patrick, a CFO, found that Kitson Associates placed a candidate in a role several other agencies had failed to fill. And it's why candidates like Alan say they never once felt pressured into taking a role they weren't fully committed to.

FAQs
Is the consultation really free?
Yes — completely. Whether you're a candidate thinking through your options or an employer with a brief to talk through, the initial consultation costs nothing. There's no obligation to go further, and no pressure on you during or after the call.
What should I prepare before my consultation?
For candidates: a rough sense of where you are in your career, what you're hoping for, and any preferences around role type, location, or culture. For employers: an overview of the role, your team, and what any previous attempts to fill it have looked like. Becky will take it from there and guide the conversation naturally.
How long does a consultation typically take?
Long enough to do it properly. Most run between 30 and 60 minutes. Becky doesn't rush it — because a conversation that actually covers the right ground is what leads to the right outcome.
Can I have a consultation if I'm not actively looking for a new role?
Absolutely. A lot of the people Becky works with aren't actively searching — they're just open to the right opportunity if it comes along. A consultation is a genuinely low-pressure way to get a feel for what's out there and whether the timing might work for you.
Will what I share in the consultation be kept confidential?
Yes, always. Everything you discuss with Becky is treated with complete confidentiality. She won't share your details or approach employers on your behalf without your full knowledge and agreement. Discretion isn't just something we say — it's how we operate.
What if I'm an employer who has already tried other agencies?
Honestly, this is where Kitson Associates often steps in. Becky has placed candidates in roles that several other agencies couldn't fill. The consultation helps figure out why previous searches didn't work — and what a better approach actually looks like for your specific situation.
