Why contractors choose us

The RecServ difference

Speed, compliance and support — the three things M&E contractors need most. We've built our entire operation around delivering all three, every time.

2-hour shortlists

From brief to vetted profiles in as little as two hours. We maintain a live bench of pre-cleared M&E operatives ready to mobilise at short notice.

Compliance first

Every operative is CSCS/ECS card-verified, right-to-work checked and reference-cleared before they set foot on your site. Zero shortcuts.

24/7 support

Site problems don't keep office hours. Our on-call team handles urgent cover requests, timesheet queries and last-minute changes around the clock.

The process

How it works

A straightforward, four-step process designed around the pace of live construction projects.

  1. 01

    Brief us

    Tell us the role, required certifications, site rules, start date and contract duration. The more detail, the faster we move.

  2. 02

    We shortlist

    Our team matches your brief against our pre-vetted operative database and returns a shortlist — often within two hours.

  3. 03

    You select

    Review profiles, ask questions and choose. We handle all confirmations, contracts and compliance paperwork.

  4. 04

    They mobilise

    Operatives arrive PPE-ready, carded and reference-cleared. We manage timesheets, extensions and any on-site issues.

Client feedback

What contractors say

We let our clients do the talking.

RecServ have never let us down. We call them when we need bodies fast — they always deliver. The compliance checks mean we never have to worry about RTW or certification on site.
