How it works

The sequence

1. You send the brief.

   The role, the employer type, the location, the salary band, and the disqualifiers. A job description is enough to start. If the title is one of those that means five different things depending on the firm, tell us which one you mean.

2. We build and engage the market.

   We identify the engineers doing that work at the employers who do that work — Cx agencies, MEP contractors, controls vendors, general contractors on mission-critical projects, operators — and we contact them directly about your specific role. Candidates are sourced from the competition, not from the hiring employer.

3. You receive interested candidates.

   Name, current employer, job title, location, contact details, and the reply they sent us. Delivered as they come in, not in a batch at the end. From that point the candidate is yours.

What "interested" means

We are strict about this, because it is the only thing you are actually buying.

An interested candidate is a named engineer who has read a message about your role, replied to it, and agreed to a conversation. Their words come with them, so you can judge the reply yourself rather than take our word for it.

What does not count, and what we will never invoice as a candidate:

• A profile that matched a search.
• An email address that verified as deliverable.
• Someone who opened a message and has not answered.
• Someone who replied to decline.
• "Not right now, but keep me in mind." That is a real answer and we will pass it on, but it is not an interested candidate.

How we speak to candidates

We tell engineers the truth about who we are and why we are writing. We do not claim to be the retained recruiter or the employer, we do not invent a mutual connection, and we do not describe a role that does not exist. Every message says plainly that it is about a specific job and carries a working opt-out.

This is a small, well-connected industry. A candidate we mislead today is one your consultants cannot call next year.

What we do not do

• We do not contact your clients, ever. They do not hear from us and they do not need to know we exist.
• We do not interview, screen or assess.
• We do not negotiate offers or manage the process.
• We do not take a fee on placements. What you earn on the placement is yours.
• We do not work the same role for two agencies at once.

What we cover

Data centre delivery roles only: commissioning engineers and agents, controls and BMS engineers, MEP design engineers, electrical superintendents, mission-critical construction and project managers, and data centre operations managers. If a brief sits outside that, we will say so rather than take it on badly.
