“I’ve worked with plenty of recruiters over the years, and it’s rare to find someone who genuinely gets both the technical side of engineering recruitment and the importance of cultural fit. Adeptus has a refreshingly straightforward, no-nonsense approach. No sales pitch, no fluff, just honest conversations, great communication, and consistently strong candidates. They keep you updated without bombarding you (which, in recruitment, is a genuine talent in itself!).

What really stands out is their ability to understand what a business actually needs, not just what’s written on the job description. The quality of talent they introduce reflects that. If you’re looking for someone who’ll tell you the truth, make you laugh along the way, and deliver excellent engineering talent, I’d happily recommend Adeptus”.

“Adeptus was among the very first recruitment partners I worked with when I joined Dalkia, and our relationship has continued to go from strength to strength ever since.

They have consistently demonstrated a genuine commitment to understanding our business, our culture, and the challenges of recruiting within a highly competitive and demanding market. Their support extends far beyond simply filling vacancies; they regularly go above and beyond to provide market insight, talent mapping, and proactive solutions that add real value to our resourcing strategy.

Adeptus is a trusted partner that is responsive, professional, and always willing to go the extra mile.”

“I highly recommend Adeptus for recruitment support. In November 2024, we sought assistance for a Senior Aerothermal Engineer role, and Adeptus quickly delivered. They completely understood our brief and provided four excellent candidates.

Adeptus expertly managed the interview process, ensuring both our team and the candidates were informed and well- prepared. We ultimately hired one of Adeptus’s candidates, from an extremely competitive shortlist.

Adeptus is professional, personable, and highly knowledgeable about the market. We are confident in their expertise and will turn to Adeptus for future hiring needs.”

“I recently worked with Adeptus to secure a new position after being made redundant by Dyson. I had dealt with many recruiters but the Adeptus team’s approach was very refreshing! From the very first introduction Adeptus was fully engaged and I felt they understood my requirements from the start. From pulling together a detailed personal statement over a coffee, to regular catch ups and keeping me informed throughout the process of what ended up being a successful placement to their client. If you’re looking for a high calibre recruiter to help you fill your open roles please don’t look any further. Like everything in life there’s no guarantees, but Adeptus will give it their all to find the right candidate. Thank you Adeptus.”

“Adeptus from my experience is a company I would certainly recommend. From the perspective of joining a new business, I cannot fault the service I was provided & the support given throughout the recruitment process. Communication to me is a key element & Adeptus was excellent in this aspect from start to finish, any questions were answered in a timely manner.

Another aspect that stood out to me with regards to support was their in process & aftercare service, such as ensuring clear instructions were obtained on the interview requirements, preparation, guidance & then following up and ensuring any concerns were addressed so a final decision could be made in proceeding. In summary I would recommend working with Adeptus to reach your goals.”
