What is SmartHire?
SmartHire is VIGO’s data-led recruitment methodology designed specifically for BMS, Smart Buildings, and Energy Optimisation hiring.
It replaces guesswork, job-board dependency, and intuition-led hiring with real market intelligence drawn from talent movement, salary data, and hiring behaviour.
Why SmartHire exists
Specialist technical markets suffer from the same problems:
- Limited and highly competitive talent pools
- Outdated salary benchmarks
- Reactive hiring based on job adverts
- Little visibility of competitor hiring activity
SmartHire was built to solve these problems using data that reflects what is actually happening in the market.
