About Tidal

We are building a modern, relationship-driven recruitment brand designed to challenge traditional agency models and deliver real value to both clients and candidates.
About the Role
As a Construction Talent Partner, you will play a key role in building Tidal’s presence within the fit-out sector. This is not a transactional recruitment role — you’ll be responsible for developing long-term partnerships with clients and candidates, positioning yourself as a trusted advisor in a fast-moving, project-driven market. You will focus on sourcing and placing white-collar professionals across roles such as Project Managers, Commercial Managers, Estimators, Site Managers, and Design professionals within the fit-out and interiors space.
