In this case, we source agencies with availability in our local area, rotating mainly between Hays Construction & Property, C& P Recruitment Ltd and Morgan Hunt Ltd. This is done on a case by case basis. Housing Asset Management approach a number of Agencies when a requirement arises, this is mainly due to absence or during a recruitment phase to cover vacancies.
