First class recruitment company. It's unusual to find a recruitment company that actually cares more about matching the candidate to the role and the Employer and not just the financial reward. In my experience, a lot of recruitment consultants will do anything to get a placement but from personal experience, this is certainly not the case with Mech Electrics. Highly respected and well regarded throughout the industry

I would like to express my respect and appreciation for Angus in placing me in my current role. He understood my technical career aspirations from our first call and I valued his capacity to listen, along with all of the professional advice he gave. I was impressed with his knowledge of the market, the time he invested in me, and his integrity throughout each step of the process. Angus kept in regular contact with me and called me when he said he would. I have no hesitation in recommending Angus and Mech Electrics Ltd to any Candidate or Client looking for talent.
