As an experienced niche recruitment firm specialising in HVAC, engineering and building services, we are constantly adapting to the changing needs of our clients. Recently, that has meant expanding our services to include contract recruitment as well as permanent recruitment.

Why we are the ideal choice for contract recruitment

Continuous change is an accepted part of any modern business and when new products, sites, services and ways of working need to be implemented quickly, the ability to hire specialists for a specific project means companies can be agile.

By working with a specialist recruitment firm like Thornhvac, companies know we understand the specific skills they need and where to find them. We know how the sector operates and what qualities they will be looking for in a contractor. With all that industry experience behind us, we are ideally placed to help ambitious HVAC, engineering and building services companies with their contractor needs. Our established network means we can match candidates with vacancies quickly to meet the flexible needs of our clients.

Our experience in permanent recruitment

As a niche recruiter with over 20 years’ experience in HVAC resourcing we have developed an outstanding reputation for helping companies in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning sectors to find the skills they need for growth. Read more about our approach in our article about engineering skills shortages and how to overcome them.

Our longstanding relationships with many of our clients means we have a good understanding of their culture as well as their business needs and this helps us match the right candidate with the role.

We also take time to understand what a candidate is looking for and this means we can ensure they make the right career move, generating the best outcome for them and the client.

Our approach to contract recruitment

Our move into contract recruitment was in response to demand from clients for greater flexibility with their resourcing needs. There have also been changes in the industry, such as the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) and IR35 which mean contractors are looking for an expert like us to help them find their next role.

We have partnered with PayStream, an award-winning business that has been providing Umbrella and Accountancy Services to Contractors for 20 years. The collaboration means that Thornhvac will use its expertise to source the right talent and PayStream will ensure the placement is fully compliant.
