Six specialist markets. Deep expertise.
We recruit into six niches where generic agencies consistently fall short. We talk fluently about the work, the controls and the commercial reality, and we filter on capability before a CV ever reaches our clients.
Maintenance Engineering
Maintenance engineering is the backbone of every reliable production environment. ABS Talent recruits multi-skilled engineers, electrical technicians, mechanical fitters and reliability specialists who keep complex plants running and downtime to a minimum.
We work directly with operations directors, engineering managers and site leadership across food manufacturing, FMCG and process industries. We place engineers who can read a fault, diagnose a control system, and fix it without escalation.
Roles we place
- Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer
- Electrical Maintenance Technician
- Mechanical Fitter
- Reliability Engineer
- Maintenance Planner
- Automation Technician
- HVAC Engineer
- Facilities Engineer
- Plant Engineer
CNC & Precision Engineering
Precision engineering is unforgiving. The wrong machinist costs you scrap, downtime and missed deliveries. ABS Talent specialises in placing CNC turners, millers, 5-axis programmers and setter-operators with proven control room experience.
We talk fluently about Mazatrol, Fanuc, Siemens and Heidenhain. We understand the difference between a sliding head operator and a CMM programmer, and we use that fluency to filter on technical capability before a CV ever reaches you.
Roles we place
- CNC Turner
- CNC Miller
- Setter-Operator
- CAM Programmer
- 5-Axis Machinist
- Multi-Axis Programmer
- Mazatrol Programmer
- Grinding Engineer
- Sliding Head Operator
- CMM Programmer
- Quality Inspector
- Production Engineer
Construction & Scaffolding Sales
Selling into construction is a relationships business. Buyers value people who understand the project pipeline, the hire cycle and the language of site. ABS Talent places business developers, area sales managers and hire desk professionals who already speak that language.
We work closely with construction product manufacturers, scaffolding suppliers, equipment hire businesses and access specialists across the UK. Our focus is long-term, regional, relationship-led hires rather than churned-out CVs.
Roles we place
- Business Development Manager
- Sales Representative
- Area Sales Manager
- Account Manager
- Regional Sales Manager
- Estimator
- Contracts Manager
- Hire Desk Manager
- Operations Sales Manager
Food Manufacturing & FMCG
Food and FMCG manufacturers run on volume, compliance and continuous improvement. ABS Talent recruits production managers, shift leaders, quality technicians, NPD technologists and technical managers who can deliver on all three.
We understand BRC, HACCP and the practical reality of running a high-volume line. We screen candidates with the same lens you would use yourself if you had the time.
Roles we place
- Production Manager
- Quality Technician
- Quality Manager
- Shift Manager
- Team Leader
- Production Operative
- Technical Manager
- NPD Technologist
- Health & Safety Manager
- Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer
SaaS Sales
SaaS revenue teams are built deliberately. ABS Talent places sales talent across the full B2B SaaS funnel: from SDRs and BDRs running outbound, through to Account Executives, Sales Managers, VPs of Sales and CROs leading entire revenue functions.
We track the SaaS market continuously: who is hiring, who is leaving, who is hitting quota and who is not. That gives our clients a genuine candidate pipeline rather than a recycled stack of LinkedIn profiles.
Roles we place
- SDR (Sales Development Representative)
- BDR (Business Development Representative)
- Account Executive
- Senior Account Executive
- Sales Manager
- Head of Sales
- VP Sales
- CRO (Chief Revenue Officer)
- Customer Success Manager
- Pre-Sales Engineer
- Partnerships Manager
- Revenue Operations
Cybersecurity, TPRM & IT Leadership
Cybersecurity, third-party risk and IT leadership are some of the hardest hires in the market. ABS Talent specialises in CISOs, security architects, TPRM programme leads, GRC analysts, cloud security engineers and IT directors across regulated and high-growth environments.
Through our parent group, ABS Group Events, we sit inside the cybersecurity, risk and technology leadership communities our clients are trying to recruit from. That gives us direct, warm access to senior decision makers most agencies cannot reach.
Roles we place
- CISO (Chief Information Security Officer)
- Security Architect
- SOC Analyst
- Penetration Tester
- Cloud Security Engineer
- TPRM Consultant
- TPRM Programme Lead
- GRC Analyst
