FAQ
How do I start working with Technical Partners?
Get in touch via our contact form, submit a vacancy directly, or speak to the specialist for your sector. We’ll arrange an initial call to understand your business, the role, and your timeline before starting any search.
Do you work with businesses of all sizes?
Yes – from single critical hires to full team builds, we support businesses at every stage of growth, from specialist contractors through to established industry leaders.
What sectors do you cover?
Building Envelopes, EC&I, Mechanical, and Renewables, across the UK.
What roles do you typically recruit for?
- Building Envelopes: Directors, Project Managers, Estimators, Designers, Superintendents, and Procurement Specialists
- EC&I: Control Engineers, Instrumentation Technicians, Automation Engineers, and Electricians
- Mechanical: Mechanical Engineers, Project Managers, and Pipefitters
- Renewables: Solar PV Engineers, Heat Pump Installers, and Energy Assessors
From project-critical hires through to executive leadership appointments, we support the full spectrum of technical talent your business needs.
How quickly can you source candidates?
Our average time to source a candidate is 48 hours, with an average time from CV to candidate starting of just 7 days. Timelines vary depending on the seniority and specificity of the role.
What does your process actually involve?
A six-stage approach: we take time to understand your business and the role, define the ideal candidate profile, search our network and the wider market, qualify every candidate for technical fit and experience, present a shortlist with honest recommendations, and support you through offer, onboarding, and beyond.
What if my hiring need is urgent?
Get in touch directly with your sector specialist.
Our process is built to move quickly without compromising on candidate quality – we don’t flood you with unsuitable CVs just to hit a deadline.
Will I be kept updated during the search?
Yes. You’ll hear from your dedicated recruiter with regular updates on progress, market feedback, and candidate availability, not just when a shortlist is ready.
How do you vet candidates?
Every candidate is screened for technical capability, verified experience, safety competency (where relevant), and cultural fit before being put forward. We don’t rely on keyword-matching against a job description.
How many candidates will I typically be presented with?
We focus on quality over quantity – a carefully qualified shortlist rather than a high volume of unsuitable résumés, so your time is spent reviewing genuinely relevant candidates.
Do you only put forward active jobseekers?
No.
Much of our value comes from reaching passive candidates – experienced professionals who aren’t actively applying but would move for the right opportunity.
Do you only work on permanent placements?
No.
We support Permanent, Contract, and Interim hiring, depending on what your project needs.
Do you cover the whole of the UK?
Yes.
We have also expanded our building envelope sector through to Texas.
Can you support a single urgent hire as well as a longer-term recruitment partnership?
Yes.
Both. Some clients come to us for one project-critical hire, others for an ongoing partnership across multiple roles and years. We scale to what you need.

Having known Kirsty a number of years professionally we have the utmost confidence that she will provide us with high quality candidates in a trade discipline that is becoming increasingly hard to recruit in. Great communication through the process and she supplied us with a number of great candidates including some exceptional talents within our field. Kirsty has become our go to recruiter!
Gary Simister
Senior Site Manager
Kirsty is professional and friendly and has a large contact book that she can call on to get you the right person at the right time.
Kirsty got me several fitters that were all SC cleared, correct qualifications and able to start quickly. It was a pleasure to work with her and highly recommend her if you need staff sorting quickly..
Kevin Humphries

Kirsty has a knack for finding candidates for difficult roles. She has supported my team on a number of occasions and has always been pro active with the CV’s she has provided, mainly due to her knowledge of the market.
Thanks for your help Kirsty
