Recruiter
CSWDC urgently needed to replace three Mechanical Maintenance Engineers following multiple retirements. Despite working with their usual approved agencies, they were falling short; receiving irrelevant CVs or, worse, no applications at all.
These were not just hard-to-fill roles; they required deep expertise in heavy plant machinery (boilers, turbines, steam systems, hydraulics), plus NVQ qualifications – a rare skillset in Warwickshire! Add to that a physically demanding environment, and it became clear why conventional recruiters were struggling.
Having previously worked with Stirling Warrington and impressed by our approach, CSWDC reached out again, this time for a tougher brief with high urgency.
Matt from Stirling Warrington took a bold but honest approach. Rather than dress the role up and set unrealistic expectations for the candidate, he positioned it transparently: challenging, industrial-scale work for engineers who wanted real, hands-on complexity. That clear message filtered out time-wasters and attracted only genuinely motivated, qualified candidates.
Matt’s knowledge of the heavy engineering sector (and the limited talent landscape) meant he knew exactly where to look. Leveraging his network and industry insight, he quickly re-engaged engineers who had previously worked in similar environments and could be tempted back in.
Within days, he delivered a focused shortlist. Every CV was on-brief, qualified, and aligned with the client’s culture and expectations.
“The process was extremely quick; much faster than expected! Every CV from Stirling Warrington was a great match. They just get it.” Engineering Manager from CSWDC
