Resourcing & Recruitment
We know the difference between a CV and a capability.
Engineers and engineering leaders, vetted the same way we vet partners: on evidence, by people who can read a wiring diagram.
What we find in most hiring
- Keyword screening that puts the best-written CV at the top of the pile
- Technical capability judged by people who cannot judge it
- Shutdown cover sized to what is on the bench rather than to the work
- Hires who need a fortnight before they are useful
- Good engineers who cannot work with your shift teams
How candidates reach you
- Technical assessment by people who have run engineering functions
- Assessed on evidence rather than on keywords
- Short-term cover sized to the work, not to the bench
- People who can be useful from the first shift
- Fit with your shift teams weighed deliberately
Assessed by engineers
Technical assessment by people who have run engineering functions. Keyword screening puts the best-written CV at the top of the pile, which is not the same as the best engineer.
Shutdown and project cover
Short-term resource for planned shutdowns, capital projects and absence cover — sized to the work rather than to what happens to be on the bench.
Hires who fit the site
Technical capability is necessary and not sufficient. A hire who cannot work with your shift teams will not last, however good the CV, so we weigh that deliberately.
Common questions
How is this different from a standard recruitment agency?
Candidates are assessed by engineers rather than screened on keywords. Someone who has actually done the job can tell in a conversation what a CV cannot tell you at all.
We also cover short-term needs — shutdowns, projects and absence — with people who can be useful from the first shift rather than needing a fortnight to find their feet.
Do you cover permanent and contract?
Both, plus temp-to-perm where you want to see someone work before committing.
What if a placement does not work out?
Talk to us and we will put it right. We are a small network with our name on every introduction, which is a stronger guarantee than most rebate clauses.

No call centres and no account managers reading a script. You will hear back from a founder.
The rest of the network
Six disciplines, one contract, one point of contact. Most sites start with one and pull in the others as they go.
