Specialists, not generalists.

H&C Recruitment is a UK recruitment consultancy focused on one discipline: quantity surveying and commercial management. We place Quantity Surveyors, Commercial Managers and Cost Managers into construction, infrastructure, utilities and development businesses across the country.

That focus is deliberate. Commercial roles are where projects are won or lost – and hiring for them badly is expensive in ways that don't show up until months later. A generalist recruiter can match a job title. Understanding whether a QS's contract experience, seniority and character actually fit your project takes a specialist's attention, and that's the only kind we offer.

How we work

Quality over volume, at every stage. We would rather present two candidates who genuinely fit than ten who might. Every person we put forward has been screened on experience, salary expectations, location and character, interviewed by us, and reference-checked – before you spend a minute on them.

We're straight with people. If we can't help with a role, we'll say so. If a candidate isn't right for your project, they won't reach your desk just to make a shortlist look fuller. And when we place someone, we stand behind it – every placement is covered by our 14-day and 90-day replacement guarantee.

What we believe

Recruitment works when both sides are treated as people, not transactions. Candidates get honest representation and roles that serve their interests. Clients get a recruiter who takes the time to understand the project before sending a single profile. No pressure tactics, no CV floods, no surprises.

We're building H&C to be the kind of recruitment partner a commercial team can rely on for years – not just for one hire.
