SOHO Living: Case Studies

Summary

Case Study: Supporting SOHO Living with Specialist Residential Construction Recruitment

Recruiting high-performing residential construction talent for a growing builder

At Woods & Co Recruitment, we understand that in residential construction, strong delivery teams are critical to maintaining quality, timelines and client outcomes.

That’s why we’ve been proud to support SOHO Living, a well-established Melbourne residential builder and developer, with recruitment across several key operational and leadership roles.

As a business operating in a fast-moving residential construction market, SOHO Living requires experienced professionals who can keep projects moving efficiently while maintaining quality, cost control and stakeholder communication.

The recruitment challenge

Like many residential construction businesses, SOHO Living operates in a competitive talent market where experienced construction professionals are often already employed and not actively applying for roles.

The challenge was securing quality talent across a range of critical positions, including:

  • Residential Construction Supervisors

  • Production Estimators

  • Building Coordinators

  • Development Managers

These roles require a mix of technical capability, stakeholder management and strong residential construction experience, making the available talent pool relatively tight.

Our approach

Woods & Co took a proactive recruitment approach, focused on identifying and engaging strong residential construction professionals already operating within the Victorian market.

Our recruitment process included:

  • Targeted headhunting across the residential construction sector

  • Talent mapping of relevant competitors and aligned businesses

  • Detailed screening to assess technical capability, communication skills and cultural fit

  • Close consultation with SOHO Living to understand team structure, role expectations and long-term hiring needs

Rather than relying solely on job ads, we leveraged our existing residential construction network and proactive search methodology to access off-market talent.

The outcome

Through our partnership with SOHO Living, Woods & Co has successfully supported recruitment across multiple residential construction functions, including:

  • Supervisor recruitment

  • Production Estimator recruitment

  • Building Coordinator recruitment

  • Development Manager recruitment

By acting as a genuine recruitment partner, we’ve helped SOHO Living secure quality talent in a competitive market while supporting continued growth across their residential construction operations.
