Permanent recruitment for skilled engineering and automotive roles

JLD Recruit Ltd is a permanent recruitment agency helping UK businesses secure skilled, long-term employees through targeted sourcing, headhunting and thorough candidate screening.

Service overview

Finding the right permanent hire is one of the most important decisions a business can make. A poor hire costs time, money and momentum. We take the time to understand your business, your team and the role you need to fill.

As a specialist engineering and automotive recruitment agency, we use proactive sourcing methods — including headhunting, LinkedIn outreach and targeted campaigns — to reach candidates who are not always visible on job boards.

We offer fixed-fee recruitment, exclusive recruitment campaigns and retained search for the right vacancy — giving you clear pricing, dedicated focus and a recruiter who takes ownership of the process.

You deal directly with James throughout. No account managers, no hand-offs — just honest communication and a focus on long-term workforce growth.
