Our process for contract recruitment
We deliver speed without cutting corners. Every contractor is vetted for readiness, reliability and fit — before they ever reach your team.

Talent Pool Activation
We maintain live sector-specific contractor pools, segmented by trade, project phase, clearance and availability.
Readiness Review & Role Matching
We assess each contractor’s experience, project exposure, and availability, and flag relevant system or site experience (e.g. Procore, Aconex, SAP) where known.
Reference + Performance Check
We reference contractors with past clients, projects and supervisors, and prioritise proven high performers.
Fast, Structured Delivery
We deliver the right candidates based on availability, alignment and contractor readiness. Timelines are agreed upfront based on the role, location, and mobilisation needs, with clear communication at every step.
