Finding the best talent to help your organisation thrive

We’ve recruited thousands of candidates into career-changing roles– identifying the strategic hires businesses need to progress their business plans. To do this we take a partnership-approach, first getting to know everything there is to know about your business – your values, your work culture, and the characteristics you look for in the right candidate.

Once we’ve really understood what makes your organisation successful, we undertake extensive talent searches, identifying permanent recruitment candidates with the right approach and ambition to succeed. Our aim is to connect candidates and companies that share the same values and that fit your company culture, whilst encouraging organisations to think differently.

As a certified Inclusive+ Recruiter, awarded by the Association of Professional Staffing Companies, an Armed Forces Employer Recognition Scheme Silver Award recipient and a Social Mobility Pledge holder, we aim to attract as wide a candidate pool as possible of our client vacancies. This means working with our clients to identify opportunities to recruit from complementary engineering sectors, and repositioning roles to welcome new applicants into their industry. Ensuring the recruitment process is as inclusive as possible and remaining open to attracting a diverse talent pool.

Never one to shy away from a challenge, we’re also experts in managing hard to fill roles. Over the years we’ve worked with some of the largest global engineering companies and specialist SMEs, to provide long-term permanent recruitment solutions to address skill shortages, make strategic hires and transform their businesses.
