Manufacturing & Engineering Recruitment, Built on Relationships
Recruiting in manufacturing and engineering is about more than matching a CV to a job spec. It’s about understanding the pressures of production lines, the challenges of technical leadership, and the importance of operational continuity. That’s where we come in.
At C2 Recruitment, we don’t just fill roles - we build long-term partnerships with the businesses we support. Whether you’re a growing SME or a well-established manufacturer, we work closely with you to find people who fit your environment, share your values, and make a measurable difference from day one.
A Consultative, Personal Approach
We take the time to get to know your business – how your teams operate, what your site challenges are, and the type of people who thrive in your environment. It’s this hands-on approach that allows us to consistently introduce candidates who not only meet the technical brief but add value across the board.
We focus on quality, not volume. Fewer CVs. Better matches. Lasting results.
