What we do Report

Founded in 2001 by our Chairman, Adam Turner, Linear Recruitment has grown over two decades to become one of the leading construction recruitment businesses. Our other speciality sectors include recruitment within the power and utilities industries, the rail and transport industry and within highways and infrastructure.

Values Report

Linear Recruitment started out in 2001 with a simple, honest, straight-forward approach to recruitment. Simple, direct and straight forward. That's how recruitment should be, and that is exactly how we are, and have been since day one.

IR35 Information Report

Legislation was introduced by HMRC in 2000 to collect employment tax from worker's paid via their own limited company. HMRC was asking if a worker was essentially an employee (Inside IR35) or a genuine self-employed contractor (Outside IR35). The liability of making this "in" or "out" decision, or employment status decision is currently made by the individual contractor.

Testimonials Report

We've helped thousands of candidates find their new roles with top companies across the UK, and sourced top-tier talent on behalf of our recruitment clients in a variety of industries. We've always been passionate about providing the highest levels of service to all of our customers and the testimonials from both clients and candidates found below can attest to this fact.

This agency prioritises their own "people" over genuinely good workers. If you are from their home country then please apply, if not, don't waste your time

Use to be a good agency, never been out of job with them. But that was 6-7 years ago. Now everytime i call, they do not have jobs. Something has changed. Not on the good way.
