Recruitment process consulting for Industrial park developers: sales, site and liaison hires
An industrial park hires few people but each hire carries weight. A sales executive who cannot wait out a long cycle, or a liaison executive who does not know the local offices, costs months before anyone notices.

Hiring for a park is lumpy. Nothing happens for a while, then a new phase is launched and the owner needs a site engineer, two sales executives and a coordinator in the same month. Hurried hires are made on a resume and a handshake, and the gap between the title and the real work shows up later.
A cleaner process starts with what the role will actually do. A sales executive meets factory owners and brokers. A liaison executive spends days in government offices. A site engineer stays on one estate through dust and delay. Questions and trials should reflect that.
How to set it up
1. Write what the first six months look like
For each open role, list the real days: visits, approvals chased, site walks. Use it to decide what to ask and what to show candidates.
2. Choose where to look
Sales executives may come from other developers or from industrial suppliers who already speak to factory owners. Site engineers may come from road and utility contractors. Liaison staff often come through local references.
3. Ask for a small task, not only an interview
Ask a sales candidate to explain the park to a factory owner in five minutes. Ask a site engineer to walk through a typical road and drain sequence. Notice how they ask questions.
4. Meet the hiring team together
Sales, site and the owner each meet the candidate or compare notes the same day, so a promising person is not lost to a slow process.
5. Plan the first month
Arrange a site walk, introduction to brokers and a shadowing period. The onboarding process can be extended to cover it.
Check these first
Before changing anything, find out what is true today. These take an afternoon and use your own records.
- Write the three tasks a new sales executive will do in week two.
- Check how many days pass between a final interview and an offer.
- Ask the last two hires whether the interview matched the job.
- Note which roles have a ready list of possible candidates and which do not.

Questions owners ask
Contacts help, but they are not enough. Look for someone who follows up, handles long cycles and explains infrastructure clearly. A contact list without those habits rarely turns into bookings.
Use references from people you trust, ask the candidate to describe a past approval step by step and start with a defined set of files. Pair them with the person who holds the current relationships.
Often yes for site and sales roles, because the first weeks go to learning the estate. Plan the hire a little before launch rather than during the rush.
