5. UK Engineering
Sector
Engineering plays a vital part in most of
the technologies we rely on every day
and has a crucial role to play in
delivering growth for the UK.
The UK is currently recognised as a world leader in
several sectors; universities, automotive, renewable
energy, space, low carbon, aerospace, creative
industries, utilities and bioscience. The UK has a
powerful SME sector, employing 42% of the total
workforce.
Engineering is a factor in many industries including
aerospace, chemical, construction and civil
engineering. One of the largest sectors we currently
work with is electrical, which encompasses many
different disciplines.
Mechanical engineering is also prevalent, with many of
our clients producing mechanical systems. We
specialise in the engineering industry, and as part of
this cover all engineering sectors. We have an
extensive knowledge of each sector and understand
the differences each one represents.
Our Engineering Managers here at Roc Search often
advise clients and candidates on the changing
infrastructure of the engineering sectors and market
trends.
We have a very close relationship with our clients and
our team of experienced managers often feature in
industry blogs and related engineering press.
Notably, it is projected that between 2010 and 2020
engineering companies are set to have 2.74 million new
job openings.

12. Passion that
pays
Roc Search was established in 2007 on
the key principles of honesty, integrity
and communication.
Today, with offices in the UK, Germany and
the US, the business has gone from strength
to strength and our success is driven by the
quality of our people.
Whether you work with or for us, whether we
place you or place people for you, at Roc
Search our passion is for people and the
placements we make.
As clients and candidates you can be sure
we’ll take nothing for granted and take the
time you and we need, to build mutual insight
and trust.

corporates, the experienced professional and
the ambitious beginner: whoever you are and
whatever your story, we believe you deserve
a flexible, responsive and personal service
which delivers the results you need.

exactly what you can expect.
roc-search.com

13. Employer services
for clients
We work on the basis that trust is everything in recruitment,
and that you are only as good as your last placement.
Our integrity and professionalism shape all our client relationships; they
explain both our ability to ensure listings on PSLs and why we’re
repeatedly entrusted to exclusively manage organisations’ recruitment
processes. That’s why you can be sure the candidates we send you will
have the expertise and experience you need, at the budget you
specified.
Recruiting Managers
Our service is as exceptional as our rates are competitive.
We offer refund guarantees and our specialists never just tick boxes or
tell you what you need. Your business, no less than ours, depends on
the quality of its people, not the quantity of candidates we send. The
time we take to understand your requirements is your guarantee that
we’re sending you the right people, first time.
Human Resources / Procurement Management
We approach our client relationships as partnerships.
Our account management function ensures a close fit between our
services and the HR and Procurement processes for every
organisation we work with. The large tenders we’ve won are testament
both to the close working relationships we establish with HR and
Procurement professionals and to our responsiveness to the needs of
the varying policies of different companies.
