Why 5S?

Inspired by the Japanese 5S methodology for workplace organisation, we do things a little differently to other engineering recruitment agencies. Rather than sending over 20 CV’s with minimal compatibility for the role, we gain a deep understanding of the position we are filling.

We then perform detailed searches, talking to everyone before they are sent to your desk, ensuring the candidates you see are of the highest quality.

SEARCH. SCREEN. SHORTLIST. SELECT. SERVICE.

Search

We will not deliver 5 CV’s in an hour because they’re “on our books”. When we search for candidates we ensure they have been thoroughly resourced before moving onto our next stage. Our detail and thoroughness is unmatched in the industry.

Screen

Our commitment to detailed screening is unwavering, we take the time to match the required skills to your business and job description, getting to know our candidates, to understand whether our clients are a good cultural fit, as well as a good skills match.

Shortlist

Our process is simple; deliver the best available candidates. We deliver thoroughly searched, well screened shortlists of 3-5 outstanding candidates for any given role, while also advising you on why people have missed out, to give you an opportunity to make an informed decision.

Select

We assist at every stage of the process with additional information and support for the client and the candidate. During this selection process, rejected candidates need to be supported and the selected candidates will receive regular updates right up to their start date and beyond.

Service

We believe in ongoing service; this includes for successful candidates, rejected candidates and clients for current and future recruitment. We develop trusting relationships with businesses and represent them correctly, delivering an all-round positive experience.

Your recruitment taken care of.
About Us

For over 15 years, our Director Jamie Hancher has played a pivotal role in the recruitment requirements for many of the UK’s biggest manufacturing and engineering companies.

His understanding of the plastics , precision engineering and FMCG sectors mean he understands the roles he is recruiting for with deep knowledge and insight into what the client is looking for. He spends time getting to know the business, its culture and needs, before spending the time needed to search and get to know the candidates being sent over for consideration.

After working in this industry for so long, in 2022 Jamie decided to open his own agency, to enable him to bring his unique recruitment style to more businesses, and focus on delivering the service he is so passionate about.
