About us

Our approach
Being part of a group of technical companies provides us with the tools to create a better way of working with candidates and clients alike.

We are dedicated to becoming the 'first choice recruitment partner' by providing the highest quality service to both clients and candidates, forging lasting relationships based on trust and quality. We have over 20 years of extensive knowledge of the white collar engineering and oil and gas markets and with it a comprehensive understanding of what recruitment problems can occur.
 

Matthew Kimpton-Smith Managing Director of the Cygnet Group says:

"Through personal experience as an employer of white collar engineers and other technical professionals, Cygnet has experienced the pain of unsuccessful recruitment in time and financial terms. We have identified that the key issues leading up to this are often time pressure and the recruitment company's inability to accurately assess the technical skills of the candidates.  

In our oil and gas and engineering companies, the quality and technical skills of our engineers is the number one factor that sets us apart from our competition. We have seen first hand the overwhelming benefits arising from our best recruitment decisions along with a significant negative impact on the company from getting it wrong.

To overcome the limitations of the current technical recruitment options available to us, we have invested in the creation of this unique partnership, using the combination of recruitment and technical knowledge to provide a solution that we have tried, tested and proven to work for us.

Our passion for this 'uncompromised quality' approach is something we believe other companies will feel the full benefit from, with the confidence that 'only if it is good enough for us will it be good enough for you'."
