In this episode, Rhodri sits down with Sirah Parkes of Invest Surveyors to talk recruitment, team culture and life in the surveying profession. Sirah shares why she looks beyond the CV when hiring, focusing on genuine team players over candidates chasing the next pay rise. She explains the questions she asks to uncover what really motivates someone, and why that matters for long term retention. The conversation also covers the isolation that can come with a field based surveying role, and how Sirah keeps her team connected through regular one to ones and a WhatsApp group where surveyors share tricky building pathology cases with each other. She reflects on nearly 30 years in the industry, her work chairing the RICS board, and what she is doing differently as Invest Surveyors grows.
