I had the pleasure of working with Fionn from Breagh Recruitment over the past few weeks while looking for my next role. I couldn’t be more impressed with the service I received. Fionn was professional, responsive, and on the end of the phone if I had any questions. I would highly recommend Breagh Recruitment to anyone in the engineering and construction industry looking for a supportive and professional recruitment partner.

Can't speak highly enough about Breagh. Fionn was an outstanding recruiter throughout the process, lining up three interviews for me within 24 hours, all three of which resulted in job offers. If you're looking for a new role, reach out to Breagh recruitment first.
