Challenge

North Search was engaged by Tetris Capital when the organisation was appointed as the preferred respondent for a Health Infrastructure NSW housing Public-Private Partnership (PPP). This was set to be delivered across multiple sites.

Tetris Capital are a sponsor, advisor, investor and manager of infrastructure and structured projects. We were enlisted to conduct a search for a Project Co-Representative.

The ideal candidate would be involved throughout the project lifecycle from the point of financial closing through to project completion. Given the scale of the project, PPP experience with a residential development or delivery background was ideal.

This position was a great opportunity for an individual who looked to progress from a junior to a leadership-level role. The successful candidate would work autonomously on the project and in the state.

Strategy

Given the breadth of experience necessary for the role, North Search cast a wide net across the market. We analysed sectors including PPPs, Primary Contractors, Consultants and Developers.

Due to Tetris’s lack of market presence in NSW, brand advocacy was a key aspect of our approach. We wanted to source and attract the top talent in the market. Our ability to educate candidates and offer a high-touch approach, increased candidate engagement and confidence in the opportunity.

Through a broad range of engagement tools, the team assessed skills and competencies in parallel sectors to create a shortlist strongly aligned to the challenge, opportunity, and organisation.

Result

Through an extensive search and candidate management process, North Search appointed the successful individual for the position. The breadth of candidates engaged enabled Tetris to make an informed decision that did not rely solely on technical experience, but also on the broader culture fit of the candidate.
