Clancy Group

We have enjoyed a long-standing 20-year partnership with Clancy, developing from an initial relationship with a Director—now Head of HS2—into a trusted supplier across multiple sectors. Today, we are Clancy’s top white-collar supplier, providing coverage in Water, Power, and the newly established Civil Engineering division.

Quality of advice and deliverables

Our role extends well beyond recruitment. We have advised Clancy on key compliance matters, including implementing an Outside IR35 assessment tool in partnership with Kingsbridge, ensuring accurate determinations and insurance cover. We also support HR and senior management with proactive workforce planning and have introduced process improvements via the Peoplebank recruitment system. Regular reviews ensure our deliverables consistently meet agreed standards and project requirements.

Bringing the right specialists to each project

We match specialist talent to the specific needs of each project. For HS2, we provided a Senior Management Team in both Aylesbury and London, now supported by 20 freelance professionals. Over the past two years, we have successfully placed 50+ freelance and permanent staff across multiple projects. Our sector-specific expertise ensures that each role is filled by a candidate with the exact skill set and experience required.

Clarity over progress, fees, and scope vs budget

We provide Clancy with transparent reporting on recruitment progress, placement status, and costs, supported by direct lines of communication with hiring managers. HR is always included in correspondence for full visibility. Regular meetings with both HR and senior operational teams review scope changes, project timelines, and budget alignment to ensure all parties are informed and there are no surprises.
