Trades & driving recruitment
We place electricians, gas engineers and HGV drivers with employers across the UK. Every card, certificate and licence is checked before a CV reaches you.
What we recruit
We stay narrow on purpose. Knowing what an ACS ticket covers or why a CPC expiry matters is the difference between a placement that lasts and one that costs you a week.
JIB-graded electricians, testing and inspection engineers, improvers and EV installers for contractors, facilities firms and housebuilders.
View electrical roles →Gas Safe registered domestic and commercial engineers, boiler installers, service and breakdown engineers and heat pump specialists.
View gas roles →Class 1 and Class 2 drivers with valid CPC and tacho cards, including ADR, HIAB and tipper work for hauliers and distribution operators.
View driving roles →Why employers use us
Gas Safe numbers are checked on the register, licences through the DVLA share code, ECS cards against the ECS database. We do not take a photo of a card at face value.
You speak to the person who took the brief, start to finish. No handover to an account team who never heard the original conversation.
Top Recruitment is run from an accounting and tax background. CIS deductions, self-employed versus PAYE status and IR35 exposure are things we get right rather than guess at.
We send people who match the brief and have said yes to it. If we have nobody suitable, we will tell you that instead of filling your inbox.
For employers
Role, site, qualifications needed, rate, start date. Ten minutes on the phone is usually enough.
We shortlist, check tickets and references, and confirm the candidate is genuinely available at your rate.
You interview a small shortlist. We handle scheduling, offer and start date, and check in after week one.
For candidates
Email it to us with your cards and tickets, the areas you cover and the money you are after.
We only put you forward for roles you would actually take. Your CV does not go anywhere without your say so.
We prep you on the client, chase feedback and negotiate the offer. Registering is free, always.
