The numbers
- Frequency: once a week, on Saturday morning.
- Readers: more than 5,500 people, from managing directors and commercial directors to the people who will hold those seats next.
- Cost: free, with an unsubscribe link in every issue.
- In each issue: one main story built on a person, a role or a hiring decision; the senior moves and the contract awards that will set off hiring; and one weekly question to the industry.
- Every month: the new edition of the Senior Hiring Index goes out in the Brief on the Saturday after the month ends.
In more detail
The Brief is written by me, not a newsroom. I am a Quantity Surveyor by training and I now run retained search for senior construction leaders, so it reads the week's news the way a hiring board does. If you hire senior people, it tells you where the market is heading before it shows up in your shortlist. If you are weighing a move, it tells you which seats are opening and why.
For more than one email a week, the Lechley Community is the free site behind it: news, senior moves, learning pathways with exams and certificates, mentoring and the weekly question, with sign in by email address and no password.
