Permanent recruitment
Assistant QS through to commercial director. Qualified shortlists of people who are ready to move, including many who never appear on job boards.
Hire commercial staff you can rely on.
A poor commercial hire is expensive, in salary and in lost margin. We shortlist quantity surveyors, estimators and commercial managers the same way we would hire for our own teams.
Our vetting
Every candidate is screened by a qualified QS
Every candidate we put forward has been interviewed by someone with hands-on quantity surveying experience, so technical ability is checked before a CV reaches you.
Technical vetting
We test candidates on valuations, variations, final accounts and subcontractor management before you see their CV.
Soft-skill screening
Communication and judgement matter as much as technical skill in commercial roles, so we check for both during screening.
Honest advice
If the brief, the package or the timing is likely to cause problems, we will tell you and suggest what to change.

Employer FAQs
Questions we're asked most
We recruit the commercial function of construction and infrastructure across the UK: quantity surveyors at every level, estimators, commercial managers, cost consultants, contracts managers and commercial leadership.
Your candidates are screened by people with hands-on quantity surveying experience. We test technical competence with practical scenarios, and we assess the soft skills that determine whether someone stays, such as communication and commercial judgement.
Terms depend on the role, seniority and how you'd like to work with us. Book a call and we'll set out our fee structure clearly before anything starts.
It depends on the role and the state of the market, so we would rather give you an honest estimate on a call than promise a number here. You will know our expected timeline before we start, and we will keep you updated throughout.
