OUR SERVICES

Progress through people.

You don’t need any old recruiter.
You want a partner who gets your world, understands the talent challenges you’re facing, and helps you build teams that actually deliver.

Here’s how we work with clients across Engineering, Tech & Digital and Care.

Retained Search.

For leadership roles and business-critical hires. When the cost of getting it wrong is too high, you need a search process that’s structured, discreet, and backed by real market reach.

We handle the longlist, the heavy lifting, and represent your brand in the market so your business shows up well, and the shortlist is right first time.

Best for:

Senior appointments

Hard-to-fill or niche skillsets

Confidential replacements

New-site or transformational leadership

Permanent Recruitment.

Consistent hiring you can rely on. We connect you with people who stay, add value, and grow with your business. Targeted search, sector knowledge, and honest advice. The basics done properly.

Where we add value:

Role design and expectation-settings

Access to established talent networks

Clear, evidence-based shortlisting

Smooth process from brief to onboarding

Contract & Interim Talent.

When delivery can’t slow down. You get specialists who can slot in quickly, keep programmes moving, and solve short-term capability gaps without compromising quality.

Why clients choose us:

Speed without chaos

Pre-vetted technical talent

Proper compliance handling

Flexible models for short or long engagements

Trusted Partner.

A long-term relationship built on shared outcomes. This is for clients who want to get ahead of talent issues rather than firefight them. We become an extension of your team, bringing insight, consistency and proactive planning.

This is where we drive accounts, not just fill jobs.

What this looks like in practice:

Quarterly workforce/talent planning

Early access to emerging candidates

Hiring process audits and improvements

Talent mapping and skills insight

A single point of accountability

Talent Solutions.

Because no business needs the same thing, so we don’t sell the same thing. You tell us the pressures, the ambitions, or the gaps. We build the solution around them.

You don’t pay for anything you don’t need. You get a recruitment model shaped around your business.

Examples of what this can include:

Associate hiring to fix process problems or add delivery capacity

Project-led recruitment for team sized campaigns or new launches

Talent-as-a-Service monthly pricing for predictable, ongoing hiring

Blended models across perm, contract and advisory work

Consulting support on workforce planning, role scope, salary benchmarking, EVP or candidate experience

Strategic partnership models with shared goals and joint delivery plans

What our clients say.

We’ve worked with Chroma for around 18 months, initially on a Mechanical Design Engineer hire that quickly proved successful. What we expected to be a one-off has developed into a longer-term partnership, with several additional engineers recruited since. Chroma takes the time to understand our business, team dynamics, and future needs, not just the skills on paper. Their consultative approach and commitment to building lasting relationships makes them easy to recommend.

- Balltec Engineered Solutions

We've partnered with Chroma Engineering for years and have been impressed with the quality of their candidates. They regularly connect us with skilled engineers who drive our growth and boost our team's capabilities. In our latest placement, Harry Ogilivie did a superb job in filling a challenging position, and we are very pleased with the outcome.

- Exergy Power Systems

The team at Chroma have been outstanding. They understood the urgency, but never sacrificed quality. Every candidate they presented felt aligned with our values and ready to lead. The speed and communication were exceptional-particularly when we had to rehire our Regional Manager at short notice. They didn't miss a beat.

- LNT Group

We hold a long-term relationship with Chroma which is based on many successful placements. The team at Chroma have built up their knowledge and understanding of our niche business and have a thorough understanding of what we look for in candidates from technical to culture fit. They are more of a partner than a supplier throughout our recruitment process and are the go-to agency to support with our requirements as we expand as a business.
