Our Sectors

Three specialist markets. Deep expertise.

We recruit into three 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.

01 · Maintenance Engineering

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 also recruit the people who run the lines around them — production managers, shift leaders, quality technicians, NPD technologists and technical managers across FMCG and food manufacturing. We understand BRC, HACCP and the practical reality of a high-volume, high-care operation.

We work directly with operations directors, engineering managers and site leadership. We place engineers who can read a fault, diagnose a control system and fix it without escalation, and technical staff who can deliver on volume, compliance and continuous improvement.

02 · CNC & Precision Engineering

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.

03 · Cybersecurity, TPRM & IT Leadership

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.
