Three waysto hire.
We hire for main contractors, M&E and commissioning specialists, operators and developers on data centre, pharmaceutical, semiconductor and power programmes across the UK, Ireland and the EEA, and for existing clients in the USA.
Side by side.
Volume and duration decide it: one critical role points to search, a programme milestone to a fixed term contract, a continuous pipeline to recruitment as a service.
Permanent search
- Best for
- One critical seat: leadership, package ownership, the technical roles where the good people are not applying to adverts.
- Typical duration
- One search, typically four to eight weeks to offer.
- How you engage us
- Retained or contingent, per role, on your terms of business.
- What you receive
- A market map of who does this work and where
- A shortlist ready to interview, with a written case for each person
- Offer negotiation and notice management
- A call with you and the hire at thirty and ninety days
- Time to shortlist
- An initial shortlist in five to ten working days, depending on the role and location.
Fixed term contracts
- Best for
- A defined phase: a commissioning peak, a fit out, operational readiness ahead of live load.
- Typical duration
- Six to eighteen months, tied to the milestone.
- How you engage us
- You employ and pay the hire directly for an agreed fixed term. Our recruitment fee and scope are agreed separately.
- What you receive
- Milestones and scope agreed before we approach the market
- People with the facility experience and the availability, side by side
- Agreed recruitment checks and handover into your employment and onboarding process
- A team focused on handover, not the next day rate
- Time to shortlist
- An initial shortlist in five to ten working days, depending on the role and location.
Recruitment as a service
- Best for
- Sustained hiring across programmes, or replacing agency spend with a function of your own.
- Typical duration
- Rolling, with the handover designed in from day one.
- How you engage us
- A dedicated desk inside your business under your brand, on flexible monthly capacity. No placement fees.
- What you receive
- Sourcing pipelines per discipline
- Your ATS configured and adopted
- Live salary and rate benchmarks and a hiring dashboard
- A trained internal team and the documented method when we step back
- Time to shortlist
- Five to ten working days per role once the desk is running, and continuous pipelines after that.
What every engagement includes, whichever model runs.
Brief against the programme
Scope, package, reporting line, the date it must start, and what has already been tried. Taken by someone who knows the discipline.
Market read
Availability, rates and whether the brief is realistic, back to you by the next working day or sooner.
Technical screening
Every person on a shortlist has been interviewed by a consultant from the discipline. A recruiter assesses their experience against the role and makes the shortlist decision.
Benchmarking
Salary and rate data from the desk that sees the market, with every shortlist.
Thirty and ninety days
A call with you and with the hire at both points. The engagement ends when the hire sticks.
The businesses doing the work.
Large contractors and small specialists alike. We have built a recruitment function from nothing with limited resources, and a smaller business should not be priced out of the best people. Nobody can post a job and hope any more: reaching the right person takes market knowledge and proactive search, done properly, because a mistake now costs later.
