Build Your Future Teams with a Bespoke GradPoint™ Event
The Turning Point for your Organisation
GradPoint™ is a private, high-impact graduate experience designed specifically for forward-thinking construction industry professionals.
We bring together a hand-picked group of graduate surveyors - ambitious, work-ready, and keen to learn - and create a bespoke event where you can observe, assess, and hire your next cohort of talent from one focused day.
This is not a careers fair. It’s an employer-led recruitment experience built around your business - giving you a real opportunity to see how graduates think, solve problems, communicate and interact with each other, before making any hiring decisions. This beats a making a decision on a one-hour interview.
Hire up to 5 graduate professionals in a single day
Create a consistent intake to streamline training and induction
Observe candidates in practical, job-relevant scenarios
Assess real potential beyond what a CV or interview reveals
Build a team that can grow with your business from day one
Gain maximum value with minimal recruitment spend
This is the most cost-effective, time-efficient way to build your future teams.

Let’s Talk About Your Event
We’re now hosting private GradPoint™ events for industry firms looking to bring in a graduate intake in 2026 and 2027.
If you're ready to take a smarter, simpler approach to graduate recruitment - we'd love to help.
-
We work with you to understand your business, your hiring goals, and the kind of graduates you’re looking for. Then we invite 20-25 carefully selected graduate surveyors to attend a one-day event tailored around your company. You’ll observe candidates through structured activities that we help you create, and informal discussions, and at the end of the day, you select who you’d like to offer roles to - up to 5 graduates.
-
You can put together questions, case study group exercises and tests based on the work that you do, to then assess how they perform. We can help you put these together so that they are working throughout the day.
-
We do that for you. Construction Professionals HR & Recruitment manages all graduate outreach, applications, and pre-screening. We only invite motivated, qualified candidates with the right attitude and career focus. You can also review final attendees before the event if you wish.
-
It’s more efficient and effective to have 2-3 senior/associate level people who can assess, and 1-2 existing graduates who can share their own story and progress, showcasing your business.
-
The day is designed to show you more than just a CV ever could. It includes:
Real-world tasks relevant to your sector
Group and individual activities
Observation and feedback opportunities
Informal networking over lunch and breaks
A structured yet relaxed environment where you can assess personality, initiative, and team fit
-
Absolutely. This is your event, and we’ll tailor the format, structure, and messaging to reflect your company culture, values, and goals. GradPoint becomes an extension of your employer brand.
-
We recommend selecting up to 5 graduate hires from each event. This number is ideal for group onboarding and future progression planning - giving you a consistent intake who can grow together within your business. However this does depend on your needs and you can hire more if you require
-
The cost is significantly lower than hiring multiple graduates through traditional recruitment methods. Your investment is for the delivery of the event and a significantly reduced placement fee for those you choose to hire — no upfront agency costs or long processes. We’ll happily walk you through the pricing structure in a short call.
-
Once you’ve selected your preferred candidates, we help you onboard and you can enter into our Staff Retention Programme. For those not selected, CPR continues to support them in finding roles with other clients, helping everyone move forward.
