It’s important to work with people who mirror your values. We aspire to work with people who share our passion to build real, honest working partnerships.
gap technical was founded when our parent company, gap personnel group, identified a gap in the market for a technical recruitment agency which specialises in specific vertical markets. Since day one we’ve delivered positive employment journeys, meaningful training for our employees and real recruitment solutions. As a result, we’ve grown into an award-winning technical recruitment agency that specialises in engineering, quality, IT, trades and science.
Over the years, we’ve built up an impressive client portfolio spanning from big household names to smaller start-ups and SMEs. What’s more, we’ve created an ever-growing pool of skilled candidates who are ready and waiting to take the next step in their career.
In 2017, the majority stake of gap personnel group was acquired by £500-million global HR and staffing provider, BeNEXT Group Inc. This gave us an exciting opportunity to propel ourselves to the forefront of the technical recruitment market – not only in the UK, but across Europe too.
To become the first choice recruitment partner by developing a brand that our customers, candidates, and employees are proud to be associated with.
Through real people, providing real solutions, our customers, candidates and employees experience a true recruitment partnership. As a national provider with local presence, we are proud to deliver ethical and flexible employment solutions, accredited training, and people development.
The best interests of all of our people are at the heart of all we do; we’re not “yes” people, we want to offer our expertise, even if it means a difficult conversation.
We uphold a culture of responsibility, defining and agreeing expectations, and being held accountable against them.
We are not faceless; we’re people who work on a national basis across a range of sectors, all towards a common goal. Let’s have real conversations about needs and how we can help.
We offer peace of mind through ethical and compliant practices, for clients, candidates, and employees.
We’re all about the people. Our people are the ones who’ll find your next job, take the time to understand your business and go to exceptional lengths to make sure you get the best of what we offer. We work in a culture that promotes real talk, straightforward interactions and honest answers. Our drive comes from knowing we can make a difference in what can be a challenging market for those looking for work and those looking for a partner who’ll help their business thrive.
