Featured Trades & Labour Recruitment Roles

Labourer & Trades Recruitment Agency

We have been a specialist Trades & Labour recruitment agency since our inception in 2001. We have a dedicated Trades & Labour recruitment team in each of our branches in Newcastle, Manchester and Sheffield, responsible for placing hundreds of top-quality candidates into skilled trades and labour jobs across the UK.

Our experience in the industry has enabled us to build strong relationships with many well-known organisations. As such we have a number of preferential agreements in place with construction companies at a local, regional and national level who trust us to provide them with superb candidates for open trades and labour jobs. Thanks to this, we often have access to available assignments before anyone else.

We recruit labourer and trades-people on a temporary, contract and permanent basis dependent on the client and length of assignment. We assist those placed via temp contracts in finding their next trades or labour job, developing trust amongst our extensive candidate pool, and enabling them to secure further trades jobs with an improved paygrade.
