What construction employers are hiring for
A construction client asks: Which contractors have just won work, and what are they short of on it?
RoleDemand answers it from the career pages of the employers you name, read again every day, with every figure traceable to the employer that published it.
No signup. A person builds it and sends it back.

Employers here are registered: they are on the seeded roster on disk and the pipeline is configured to read them. That is a count of the roster, not of employers collected from, and no collected count is published on this site. A client dashboard is built from their own employer list. Daily is the schedule this seeded market is enrolled in, read off the same configuration the run reads. It is not a record of what the last run published: a run whose data is too thin is refused by the quality gate rather than published, so a scheduled market can pass a morning without a new build.
What does RoleDemand cover in construction?
RoleDemand tracks the construction employers you name and reads their open roles from their own career pages every day. The seeded market covers main contractors and civil engineering firms, structural and building-services consultancies, architecture practices, residential developers, building products manufacturers, and construction technology vendors across the UK and Europe.
The seeded market covers 16 countries, United Kingdom first.
Geography, employer list and role groupings are all set when a market is scoped, so yours can be narrower or wider than this one.
Which construction roles does it track?
All of them, then grouped by function and seniority so a desk can read the market at a glance. In construction that usually means project and commercial management, design and engineering disciplines, and site leadership.
Classification runs on every posting: function, seniority and the skills named in the description.
What moves construction hiring?
A contract award or a framework place. Quantity surveyors, planners and commercial managers are advertised while the job is still being mobilised, well before the site roles, so the commercial hiring is the early warning and the site hiring is the confirmation.
None of that is a prediction. It describes what employers advertise and when, and it is why a daily read of a whole market beats a monthly read of a few: the roles that tell you something arrive before the announcement, and they are only visible while they are open.
Why is construction hiring hard to track by hand?
The 51 employers in the seeded construction market publish their vacancies through 15 different applicant tracking platforms. 17 on Pinpoint, 10 on SmartRecruiters, 5 on Greenhouse, and the remaining 19 spread across 12 more. Reading that market by hand means opening 51 careers pages that behave 15 different ways, every day, before anyone has made a call.
| Applicant tracking platform | Employers |
|---|---|
| Pinpoint | 17 |
| SmartRecruiters | 10 |
| Greenhouse | 5 |
| 12 other platforms | 19 |
RoleDemand supports every system in that table, and 34 career systems in all, which is what makes a daily pass over a whole market practical. Supported is the claim the probe backs: each of the 34 answered through its own code against a live public tenant. The full list and the stages of a run are on the answers page.
Counted from the seeded roster on disk, not estimated. A client's own dashboard is built from their employer list rather than from this one.
How many construction employers are already registered?
The seeded construction market carries 51 employers on its register, every one of them a real business whose public applicant tracking endpoint was checked by hand. Registered means the pipeline is configured to read them; it is not a count of employers it has collected from, and this site publishes no collected count. How many your own roster holds is set by the plan: Core tracks up to 25, Pro up to 100.
An employer joins a roster only after their careers endpoint has been fetched and the response read. An endpoint that could not be confirmed is left out rather than recorded optimistically.
How current is the data in a construction market?
It refreshes every day. A run collects each employer's open roles, works out what opened and closed since the previous cycle, and rebuilds the dashboard, so a consultant is quoting the last 24 hours rather than the last quarter.
The public sample dashboard is a build of the renewable energy market rather than this one. The interface, the modules and the briefing are the same in every market; only the employers and the role groupings change.
What does construction hiring intelligence cost?
RoleDemand Core costs £169 a month and tracks up to 25 construction employers. RoleDemand Pro costs £299 a month and tracks up to 100. Both are per agency rather than per seat, setting the construction market up is included, and an agency that finds the first briefing unhelpful can cancel inside 30 days. The minimum term is 3 months, the founding rate is held for 12 months, and there is no setup fee.
The full terms are with the plans.
The terms in figures: a 3-month minimum, 30 days to cancel from the first briefing, the founding rate held for 12 months, and no setup fee.
