“Paul was super helpful and very professional in all correspondence regarding my recent employment. He answered all my questions and made the process really easy, I would highly recommend him to any future job seekers.”

“I have found "Scantec" to be the best agency I have yet dealt with either as an employer or a candidate, and I cannot speak too highly of them and their professionalism”

“Scantec were extremely professional during my interview process for a vacancy with clean tech, keeping me regularly updated with the latest news. I wasn't successful with my application however but it was still a good experience & development for me helped by the support given by them”

“Sara are extremely professional whilst also making candidates feel at ease during the process and communicates frequently as openly as possible, nothing is too much trouble for her any time of the day or night! Sara is dedicated to providing her clients with the best candidates knowing which qualities they desire as well as professional credentials to suit their business needs. I am very appreciative of Sara for the part she played in my recent success as a candidate she put forward for a fantastic role with a great company where I am now very happy to be in position. Despite this being a long process Sara provided regular feedback, reassurance and lot of positivity, “Thank you Sara” highly recommended.”

Scantec were fantastic and I have recommended them to my friends who will be looking for jobs in the near future. Scantec get 5 stars from me as was very professional and helpful on a daily basis.

“Scantec have been the best recruitment company I have ever used. Personal, Professional and most importantly Communicative (very frequently), which in past experience has always let other recruitment company’s down. I would recommend them to anyone, either seeking employment or as a partner in finding the right candidates.”

Would highly recommend Sara for anyone either looking for a new opportunity or businesses looking for a recruiter. She is extremely professional in everything she does. Always returns calls and keeps you up to date with any developments. As this is my first venture into the interim world Sara was extremely helpful. She kept me informed about the roles and made sure I had all the information and knowledge I needed to help me gain my first contract.

Scantec has demonstrated an ability to satisfy our requirements for over a decade. The professional and high level of service had impressed me whilst working in various roles throughout the years and when I was promoted to Managing Director of this business, I was confident and had no hesitation in recommending the services of the Executive Search Division to fill a vacancy within our leadership team.

Rising Demand for Defence Talent | Scantec Recruitment 

UK defence spending and contract wins are fuelling demand for experienced, security-cleared talent. Learn how Scantec supports defence recruitment. 

The Rising Demand for Experienced Defence Talent: Scantec’s Role in an Accelerating Market 

Introduction  In recent years, geopolitical pressures and global instability have led governments to ramp up defence spending. In the UK, this surge in investment creates a ripple effect across the whole defence ecosystem—from prime contractors to specialist suppliers to support services. One of the most acute challenges emerging from this boom is the shortage of experienced, security-cleared talent. For firms in the defence sector, the ability to source, vet and deploy niche skills is now a critical differentiator.  At Scantec, we have decades of experience working in the defence sector. In this blog, we explore the forces driving demand, the talent challenges faced by defence organisations, and why Scantec is uniquely positioned to help bridge the gap. 

The Surge in Demand for Experienced Talent as the UK’s Nuclear Newbuild Programme Takes Off 

With new nuclear power stations approved, ambitious plans for advanced nuclear technologies, and the government committing to expand nuclear capacity, the demand for highly experienced engineers, project managers, skilled tradespeople, and specialist support roles is growing fast. For organisations looking to deliver on this expansion, and for professionals seeking opportunity, the coming years represent both enormous challenge and possibility.  Scantec is uniquely well positioned in this environment — bringing decades of experience recruiting for the nuclear and technical sectors, with deep understanding of what “experienced talent” really means in practice. Below, we explore why demand is rising so strongly, what skills are most in need, and how Scantec helps bridge the gap. 

What You Need to Know About the New Umbrella Company Regulations (April 2026)

Understanding the upcoming compliance changes and their impact on the employment agency supply chain The Government has confirmed that new legislation targeting umbrella companies will come into effect in April 2026, following years of scrutiny and consultation. These changes are designed to address long-standing issues in the umbrella market – including non-compliance, tax avoidance, and worker exploitation – and will significantly affect the employment agency supply chain, particularly those engaging contract workers via umbrella arrangements. In this blog, we explain what the new regulations involve, what they mean for recruitment agencies, end clients, and contractors, and how your organisation can prepare in advance.

More Than a Job Change: Navigating Transitions with Confidence and Care

After nearly 25 years in recruitment, I’ve spoken with thousands of people navigating the complex and emotional journey of changing jobs. From excited first steps into new industries to hesitant leaps after redundancy or burnout, I’ve seen just how varied — and how stressful — this transition can be. 

Engineering Jobs Market Update – What UK Candidates Need to Know

If you’re an engineer thinking about your next move—whether permanent or contract—you’ll be pleased to know the market is still offering strong opportunities across the UK, despite a more cautious tone from some employers in 2025.

To give you a flavour of what it’s like to be a recruiter with us, here’s a typical day in the life.

How Changes to UK Company Size Thresholds Impact IR35 and Off-Payroll Working Rules

The UK government has announced significant changes to company size thresholds, which will take effect for financial years beginning on or after 6 April 2025. These new thresholds mean that many more businesses will now qualify as small companies, exempting them from certain regulatory requirements—including the off-payroll working (IR35) rules. This is a crucial development for contractors and businesses that rely on temporary workers, particularly in industries such as nuclear, power generation, renewables, and utilities, where contract labour is essential.
