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.

With almost two decades under our belts, we're extremely proud of the level of service we bring to every search.


“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.”

Head of Estates & Engineering, Spire Healthcare Hospitals


 “We’re delighted that Precision Recruitment has chosen to support Rainbows and we are looking forward to working with the wider team.

Jo Walker, Marketing Director

Friendly, fast and efficient consultant, nothing too much trouble, all questions answered quickly and efficiently, great communication, especially Sharon Pickering.

Nick Harrison

Emma has worked tirelessly finding brilliant candidates time after time. We're on 8 employed already and I can't thank her enough for her efforts. Superb communication and excellent assessment of the company's needs as well as the candidates she places for an interview too.


Jon Hall, Managing Director - Roche NDT services

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.


Martin Clocherty, Sapcote Engineering Ltd

Precision has worked very hard with Finch Consultancy to understand our uncompromising focus on our principles of intellectual rigour, added client vlaue and client delivery. Our business model is actually quite simple but our services are sophisticated, and many times complex, so as to be able to help solve our client's real engineering health and safety risk problems. Simply, great people are the core of what we do. Our business is trust - we trust Precision.


Dom Barraclough, Managing Director, Finch Consulting

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


Paul Wright, Director - Silo Services Ltd

“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 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.
