Recruitment that understands construction.
HELM. is our vision of how recruitment should be.
We put people into construction businesses across the UK: General Construction, M&E, Interiors, Civils. From pre-construction right through to completion.
No jargon, no chasing us for updates. Just people who know the industry, pick up the phone, and get you the right person for the job.
General Construction
The people who get a job out of the ground and finished -- labourers right through to project managers.
Mechanical & Electrical
Electricians, mechanical engineers and building services people, from improver up to project manager.
Interiors
Dryliners, ceiling fixers and fit-out trades who can hit a tight programme without cutting corners.
Civils
Groundworkers, plant operators and civils gangs for infrastructure and groundworks projects.
Recruitment done properly.
We only do construction
No generalist recruiters juggling ten industries. We know the trades, the pressures, and what ‘good’ actually looks like on site.
We actually call you back
Said we'd ring Thursday? We'll ring Thursday. No chasing us for an update that should've come days ago.
Vetted properly, not rushed
Every candidate is checked for competency, compliance and reliability before they ever land in your inbox.
Not just our postcode
We place people across the whole of the UK, not just the region we happen to be based in.

We want HELM. to be a business that treats people fairly, pays properly, and actually cares about the communities it works in — not just a line on a website.

Real people you can actually speak to.
HELM. is run by Shaun Kelly and Mark Ratcliffe, and when you call, it's one of them who picks up — not a call centre.
