People who know the work, placed by people who understand it.
H&C Recruitment runs two specialist desks: Quantity Surveyors and commercial teams for construction, and CNC setters, machinists and programmers for precision manufacturing. Every candidate is screened on the work itself before you see a profile.
Two desks, each run as a specialism.
Each desk has its own knowledge, its own candidate network and its own screening questions. You talk to someone who knows your trade.

Screened before you see them.
Most recruiters match a job title. We find out whether the person can actually do the work you need doing.
Technical screening, done by us
We question every candidate on the detail of their work - for a QS, their contracts and project types; for a machinist, whether they can set from scratch, the controls they use and the tolerances they hold.
A short list with reasons
You get a small number of people who fit, each with a written summary of why. Not a pile of CVs to sort through.
The practical things, checked early
Salary, notice, commute and shift pattern are confirmed up front, so a good match doesn't fall apart at offer stage.
Straight answers
If we can't help with a role, we'll tell you. Candidates are told the truth about the job, so the people who say yes mean it.
