Executive Search

Mid-Senior
Search

Looking to hire senior candidates for your business? Our executive search team is a dynamic talent management and executive search consultancy, that provides an integral link between the directors of growing businesses and high-achieving candidates.

We'll identify the right manufacturing executive talent for your senior positions within manufacturing. 

Precision's experienced senior consultants consist of accomplished executive headhunters who look to bring top talent to your organisation. Especially true in the manufacturing market, the people you hire will ultimately define your financial success. Our team's network of unmatched candidates ensures our ability to find the best professional and cultural fit for your organisation. Substantial experience in both interim and permanent placements. 

At Precision People we deliver what we call a high-quality ‘mid-level’ retained search offering, with a comprehensive visible process that is proven to achieve a shortlist much faster than the more well-established ‘our network’ type approaches.

Our particular focus is understanding and assessing how a new hire meets the objectives of a business, to enable clients to identify and attract, sought after, high potential talent.

Recruiters remain a key source for executive talent, but they can only do so much if you don’t expose them to the inner culture and workings of your business. Think of recruiters much the way you think of a doctor or financial advisor. The more you keep them in the dark about who you are, what’s wrong, and what you really need, the less effective they will be.

Great experience with this company. Emma was very helpful, professional, and friendly throughout the process. Helped me every step of the way to get the job I was after and I really cannot recommend them highly enough.

I would like to highly recommend Precision People for Technical Recruitment. I dealt with Jon Webster who clearly took the time to get to know my cv and matched my experience with the requirements of my new employer. As I had not been for an interview for quite some years Jon gave me good advice. Thank you Jon.

Jonathan

Since joining Precision in August 2021 with absolutely no recruitment experience, I have been supported through every step and hurdle in my training. I have achieved a number of promotions since joining the company which has reflected in my progress - my confidence has grown massively. I feel grateful that Precision always encourages me to reach my next goal.

Emma Gilmore, Delivery Team

Jon and the team at Precision really go the extra mile. Communication is first class and Jon is easy and uncomplicated to work with. Straight and gets on with the job at hand.

“We have used Precision Recruitment as a 3rd party provider of suitably qualified technical staff who can be readily available to fill the gaps and also

full-time positions. Without this, the hospitals where they lose engineering managers and staff for prolonged periods (and struggle to recruit) more often fail to maintain their engineering and buildings assurance obligations and introduce operational risk. This has assisted us in the successful recruitment of engineering managers and engineers at: Manchester, Leicester, Parkway, Montefiore. With other sites seeking support.”

 “We’re delighted that Precision Recruitment has chosen to support Rainbows and we are looking forward to working with the wider team. With receive limited funding each year so we rely heavily on supporters like Precision, who help make sure that Rainbows can continue to be here providing vital support for life-limited babies, children, young people and their families across the East Midlands.”


Fiona Carlisle, Corporate Partnership Fundraiser

“Having not previously worked in recruitment, Precision Academy has been seamlessly paving the way for me to transition into a full 360 recruitment role through a well-thought-out, step-by-step approach. In addition to receiving one-to-one training support on a daily basis through on-the-job learning, we also have assigned days that we spend studying industry best practices with a recruitment specialist in an interactive, classroom-style, learning approach. Having been in training for just over 2 months, I have already made a number of successful candidate placements, have a growing client base of my own, and am now being supported by management in carving out my niche area of recruitment expertise. Overall, I really admire Precision's values and how we are encouraged to never compromise on integrity or quality in business.”


Vanessa - Trainee Recruitment Consultant

“I worked with Matt when ramping up Docue’s UK operations. He successfully sourced two
excellent in-house lawyers for our unique SaaS business. Our in-house lawyers contribute to
the content of our product-offering and so the search we asked Matt to carry out for us was
very bespoke and not the norm.

Matt worked hard and fast to enable us to fill these pivotal roles with top-quality legal talent
very quickly. Matt ensured he deeply understood the ins and outs of our business and the
requirements of these roles, and I believe this was crucial to the successful outcome which he
produced for us.

Some creative-thinking was definitely required from Matt along the way to achieve our
objective of hiring a fantastic UK legal team at speed within such a competitive market. He
found a way through and we were certainly impressed with his skills and commitment.
Matt possesses the commercial and entrepreneurial drive to get the job done. Straight-
talking, to-the-point, and always calm and professional. We certainly wouldn’t hesitate to
work with him again in the future, he’s a truly valuable resource for any tech business.”

CEO Douce Technologies

We’ve never been that impressed with recruitment agencies in the past, but with Scott from Precision People we have found him to be invaluable when supplying us with skilled temporary engineering contractors, for projects at our workshop and also onsite customer contracts around the UK
