What it is

Hiring for skills you can verify

Permanent composite hiring is hard for a simple reason: the CVs look alike and the skills do not. Two laminators with identical job histories can be worlds apart on a mould. Our advantage is that requirements are taken, and candidates assessed, by people with genuine composite backgrounds, so the shortlist reflects what someone can actually do across layup, infusion, bonding, finishing and inspection, not what their CV says.

Each permanent recruitment plan is tailored to the role, the environment and the package, and our layered back office system keeps candidate progress, communication and recruitment information coordinated in one place, so you always know where the search stands.

Roles we recruit permanently:

  • Production trades: laminating, infusion, prepreg, trim and finish, gelcoat
  • Tooling, mould, plug and pattern making
  • Quality: inspectors and NDT support
  • Supervision and team leadership
  • Project management and production management
How it runs

A search built around the trade

  • Brief. We take the role properly: the work, the processes, the environment, the standards and the package, not a template job description.
  • Search. Our register and the wider technician pool first, then targeted search across the composite community. Many placements never need advertising.
  • Trade assessed shortlist. Skills probed by people who have done the job, certifications verified at source, right to work confirmed, references taken.
  • Interview to offer. Scheduling, feedback and offer management handled cleanly, with realistic advice on the market throughout.
  • Aftercare. We stay in touch through onboarding, and commercial terms, including any replacement provisions, are agreed clearly in writing for each assignment.
Contract to permanent is often the lowest risk route for both sides: see someone work before you commit. Ask us about converting an existing contractor.

Do you only work from advertised applicants?

No. Our register, the wider technician pool and targeted search across the composite community fill many roles before they are ever advertised.

What happens after an offer?

We manage feedback, offer and notice period communication, stay in touch through onboarding, and agree any replacement provisions clearly in writing for the assignment.
