Our team specialises in contract and direct hire recruiting, connecting businesses with top professionals. From filling long-term positions to scaling teams for short-term projects, Airswift delivers the right british talent to support your company’s goals.
Our engaged search approach ensures your critical technical roles are filled with qualified specialists who fit your culture and requirements - not just the most available candidates.
"Airswift did a lot of the heavy lifting for us in that first year. They marketed us to the right people, reaching out to over 5,000 people and helping us hire 26 new employees."
Our contract hire service provides you with pre-vetted technical specialists for your complex, time-sensitive projects while ensuring full compliance with international employment laws.
"Airswift provided excellent service throughout the entire recruitment process for several technical positions. Candidate shortlists were assembled in good time and had strong tech backgrounds. The new colleagues have the in-depth knowledge and ability to positively impact our business."
Finding the right technical leaders is critical to achieving your financial, strategic, and commercial goals. Our executive search team, led by industry specialists, focuses on sourcing C-suite leaders who can transform your technical organisation.
"Airswift has officially refreshed our faith in recruiters. They helped fill a critical leadership role and exceeded expectations with their professionalism, collaboration and communication. The feedback from the candidates was tremendous. The only difficult part was selecting the final candidate because the calibre of talent we interviewed was exceptional."
Our Managed Service Provider solution, delivered by Airswift Resourcing, helps you control costs, ensure compliance, and improve quality across your entire contingent workforce.
"Having access to skilled contingent talent is essential to deliver to our clients. Partnering with Airswift has transformed how we manage our contingent workforce. Their MSP model has streamlined our recruitment process, giving us access to a vetted network of specialist agencies, real-time visibility into hiring metrics, and full compliance with IR35 and other regulatory requirements. This has improved our time-to-hire and also ensured we're engaging the right talent, at the right time, with the right controls in place. Airswift has helped us build a more agile, scalable workforce strategy."
Our Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) service acts as an extension of your HR team, managing the complete recruitment lifecycle of permanent hires from sourcing to onboarding. Our comprehensive approach accelerates hiring timelines, reduces costs, and gives you access to hard-to-find technical talent.
"Airswift Resourcing's solution is one of the energy, process, and infrastructure industries' deepest and most forward-thinking. Across the globe, they have consistently delivered high-touch, innovative, and Best-in-Class services to drive talent sustainability and help their partners compete in a skills-based, people-centric enterprise arena."
When you need to hire technical talent in regions where you don't have a
legal presence, our Employer of Record service provides a fully compliant
solution with none of the administrative burden.
"I have always found Airswift to be very responsive, helpful, and knowledgeable. We have used Airswift specifically to facilitate talent needs in countries where we have not had an entity or where we have needed specific workforce assistance that Airswift can provide."
We were engaged to source a Static Equipment Engineer for a high-profile LNG project, requiring deep technical expertise and a strong safety mindset. The role demanded detailed engineering oversight for over 8,000 technical documents, close adherence to HSE protocols, and coordination across multidisciplinary teams. Our search focused on candidates with eight or more years’ experience in oil and gas, proficiency in static and thermal equipment (including cryogenic exchangers, flare systems, and slug catchers), and a proven ability to manage vendor relationships and commissioning activities.
We successfully headhunted a Chartered Engineer who brought a strong track record in reviewing deliverables for compliance, quickly resolving site queries, and fostering a robust safety culture. Their technical acumen and leadership enabled timely project execution, ensured quality documentation and streamlined the commissioning process, supporting both the London engineering phase and eventual site mobilisation in Mozambique. This solution provided immediate impact and lasting value for our client’s critical infrastructure development.
We were engaged to source a CTS Representative (Consultant) for a flagship €6 billion green steel project, supporting a major sustainable engineering firm. The role required remote UK coverage with travel, focusing on project delivery, client liaison, and technical oversight within the process, mining, and metals sector. Essential skills included in-depth knowledge of decarbonisation, green technology, and process optimisation on industrial sites, as well as expertise in stakeholder management and the coordination of multi-disciplinary teams.
Following a targeted headhunting campaign, we secured a candidate with over 12 years’ experience delivering large-scale, sustainable engineering projects across Europe and Africa. Their proven track record in driving solutions for process innovation and industrial integration exceeded client expectations. The new hire delivered immediate value, ensuring the project maintained rigorous standards in technical excellence, sustainability, and cross-functional collaboration, directly supporting the client's commitment to green transformation in heavy industry.
