How It Works
We embed directly into your business, quickly aligning with your culture and objectives. Our specialist works as part of your team, delivering expert recruitment support while enhancing internal capability and long-term strategy.
We’ve recently been appointed by a leading construction and engineering group to lead a strategic review and transformation programme of their Talent Acquisition strategy.
The focus is on designing a recruitment process that delivers a scalable model to support rapid business growth ambitions, building on the company's impressive offering to attract the best talent in their sector and future-proof the business to continue being a market leader for many years to come.
Whether you need temporary recruitment support for a scaling phase or a long-term solution to elevate your hiring strategy, Mandala Group delivers expert in-house talent acquisition, without the overheads.
CLIENT
SUCCESS STORY
The Challenge:
A growing construction firm needed to scale rapidly while reducing recruitment costs and building a high-performing culture. Hiring at scale and optimising supply chain relationships were major challenges.
The Solution:
Mandala Group implemented an end-to-end recruitment transformation, including: implementing company wide personality profiling in the interview stage; achieving a 67% direct hire rate reducing agency dependency; cutting cost-per-hire by over 55%; reducing time-to-hire by 20%; elevating employer branding to attract top talent; and shifting the company wide mindset around recruitment driving internal referrals to 66% of all direct hires.

RECRUITMENT
That Drives Long-Term Success
Recruitment isn’t just about filling vacancies—it’s about securing the right people who will drive your business forward and stay for the long term. With over 20 years of experience across multiple industries, we’ve successfully placed over 1,000 professionals, working as trusted advisers to clients rather than as a traditional agency. Our approach is built on expertise, strategy, and a deep understanding of both business needs and candidate potential.

At Mandala Group, we challenge the outdated, transactional recruitment model by offering a consultative service that ensures quality, alignment, and long-term success. We know that employee retention starts with the right hire, and a poor recruitment process leads to high turnover, wasted costs, and lost productivity.
PERSONALITY
PROFILING
At Mandala Group, we go beyond skills and experience by integrating personality profiling to help businesses hire the right people, build strong teams, and improve retention. Our tools provide deep insights into what drives individuals and how they contribute best.
Our Tools: Motivational Maps & The GC Index

The GC Index – Measuring Impact & Contribution
The GC Index categorises people into five profiles based on how they contribute best:

Implementers – Doers who execute plans

Play Makers – Team connectors
Using the GC Index, we help businesses build balanced, high-performing teams, identify leadership potential, and align hiring with company strategy.
