About this Recruiter

Daniel Cranston
Regional Manager – US

A bit about me

I specialize in management recruitment across New York City and the five boroughs, working with a mix of heavy civil contractors, commercial interior and ground-up general contractors, HVAC subcontractors, and construction management firms.

Outside of work, I’m a big soccer fan (long-suffering West Ham supporter) and a bit of a music nerd—mostly 80s and 90s, indie, soul, and Motown.

Holly was great to work with. The fact that she does what she says and follows up places her far ahead of most recruiters. 

I definitely recommend speaking with Holly, and the rest of the Cityscape Recruitment USA team, if you are looking for solid help making a move. I’ll be keeping their number just in case the future deems I need it.

When you first contact us, be that through direct contact, responding to an advert or applying through our website, we will connect you with a consultant who works in your specialist area. 

Initially, they will arrange a meeting to talk through your CV and career history. They will encourage you to go into detail about your background and experiences, capabilities and responsibilities, personal circumstances and any other factors they feel are relevant to help them build up a well-rounded profile of you. 

We take extraordinary care in matching professionals to an opportunity – one that will help enhance their careers and a clients’ team. We therefore also use this meeting to empower you in your career. Using our extensive knowledge of the construction industry, we would provide in-depth overviews of businesses, projects and available roles, and guidance on where your strengths will add the most value and career potential. 

After this meeting, the consultant will speak to a number of their clients about you and your CV. Who they speak to can be either jointly agreed upon or you can trust the judgement and expertise of the consultant to contact clients they feel are the best fit for your experience and goals.

If any clients are interested in meeting with you, the consultant will manage the interview process, coaching you before any interviews if required. (Further guidance can be found here.)

If you are successful in receiving an offer(s), our consultant will communicate this with you and help to negotiate the offer(s) and any other terms of employment. 

Finally, we will support you in resigning from your current role, navigating potential counter offers and starting your new role.
