Frequently Asked Questions
What roles does Optio cover for FM candidates?
Optio covers the full range of facilities management roles: hard FM, soft FM, mobile engineering, contract management, building services, and site operations. Whether you work at technician level or in senior contract management, your wish list captures the specifics of what a worthwhile move looks like for your discipline.
How does Optio reach facilities management candidates who are not actively job hunting?
Optio builds an always-on talent pool from candidates who choose to register a next-move profile. Many FM professionals in work are open to the right opportunity but do not apply to job boards. By registering a wish list, you enter a structured, consent-based pool that employers can access through Optio — without your details being visible to them unless you agree.
How does offer intelligence work for FM candidates on Optio?
Optio uses structured intent data from candidates to show employers what the FM talent market actually values: pay benchmarks, package priorities, shift preferences, and progression expectations. This gives employers a clearer picture of what candidates want, which means the roles you are contacted about are more likely to match your stated criteria from the start.
What do FM candidates typically look for when considering a move?
Based on the priorities FM candidates record in their wish lists, the most common factors are: better base pay, a cleaner on-call arrangement, funded qualifications (such as gas safe, electrical, or NEBOSH), clearer career progression, and improved work-life balance. The wish list lets you specify exactly which of these matter most to you, rather than waiting to see what an employer offers.
