REES TECHNICAL

REES TECHNICAL was founded by after spending more than eight years in "corporate" recruitment — and from a belief that there had to be a better way to do things...

With a degree in Bio-Medical Sciences and a career spent recruiting across technical, scientific and engineering markets, Paul has always been drawn to industries that have a meaningful impact on the world around us. From the food we eat and the products that keep us healthy, to the technologies powering cleaner transport, sustainable materials, and end-of-life solutions for everyday products — REES TECHNICAL exists to support businesses that are building something better.

The business was created to move away from volume-led recruitment and towards a more thoughtful, specialist and partnership-driven approach. For us, recruitment should not be about chasing KPIs or sending CVs for the sake of activity. It should be about understanding the client, understanding the candidate, and creating the best possible match for both.

Now more than six years into running REES TECHNICAL, Paul and the team have supported clients across the UK, Europe and the USA, placing both permanent and contract professionals into high-growth technology-led businesses. This has included full team builds for multi-million-pound new-build facilities, individual R&D and scale-up specialists, engineering and project teams, operational leaders and technical experts helping bring new products, processes and technologies to market.

Over time, REES TECHNICAL has developed a flexible range of recruitment solutions, shaped by client feedback and real hiring challenges. From scaled-back advertising management for early-stage companies, through to retained executive search and recruitment process outsourcing, our approach is designed to be as bespoke as the businesses we support.

We work best with organisations that care about what they are building, how they operate and the people they bring into their business. If you are growing a company that is helping engineer a better world, we want to hear from you.

A better brief. A better process. A better shortlist.
We do not believe recruitment should be based on volume, guesswork or crossed fingers. Every campaign starts with understanding, is built around evidence, and is managed with clear communication from start to finish.

Recruitment should feel better for candidates too.
We represent our clients professionally in the market, communicate clearly with candidates, provide honest feedback where possible, and ensure every person we engage with has a positive impression of the businesses we support.
