O1 Recruitment connects skilled professionals with ambitious UK businesses through permanent, temporary and contract recruitment — with a specialism in engineering and manufacturing.
O1 Recruitment was created to provide a more responsive, commercially minded recruitment service — built around actually understanding what a client needs, rather than keyword-matching CVs against a job title.
Our strongest specialism is engineering and manufacturing, where we understand the difference between a coded welder and a fabricator, a CNC setter and a programmer. That depth carries across everything else we recruit for: construction, logistics, commercial, sales, finance and technology.
We work with businesses that need people quickly, without lowering the bar on quality — and with candidates who want a recruiter that gives them a straight answer.
We don't keyword-match CVs against job titles. We understand the difference between a MIG welder and a coded pipe welder, a CNC setter and a CNC programmer — and we recruit accordingly, from shop floor through to management.
Engineering and manufacturing is our deepest specialism — but O1 Recruitment places across a broader range of professional and industrial markets.
Site management and skilled trades for construction and fit-out projects.
Drivers, warehouse operatives and logistics coordinators.
Administrative, operational and office-based support roles.
Sales professionals across technical and commercial markets.
Finance professionals from transactional through to qualified level.
Technical talent building and maintaining infrastructure and systems.
We learn the role, the business, the environment and the reason for hiring before we search for anyone.
Database sourcing, advertising, networking and direct candidate approaches, combined.
Candidates are screened for skills, experience, availability, location and expectations.
Employers receive a concise shortlist of genuinely relevant candidates — not a CV dump.
We coordinate interviews, feedback and communication between both sides.
We assist with offer management, start dates and post-placement support.
We support businesses that need skilled staff quickly, without compromising on candidate quality.
We work with candidates looking for permanent, temporary and contract positions throughout the UK.
Consultants who understand the roles and industries they work in.
Targeted headhunting and market mapping, not just job-board postings.
We know vacancies cost money — we move quickly on a brief.
National reach without losing local market knowledge.
We know the difference between disciplines, tools and controls.
If we can't find what you need, we'll say so — no stringing along.
Permanent, temporary and contract placements, however you need them.
We build ongoing partnerships rather than chase single placements.
