  • Cantrell Consulting is my (Jenny Cantrell’s) business. You’ll be working with me, and me only so you will get the same high quality service every time. You’ll get:

    • 20 years experience recruiting in technical FM environments - including candidate driven/scarce markets, job driven markets, economic crashes, hiring boom period and a pandemic. You name it - I’ve recruited through it!

    • Limited number partner clients for exclusivity of access to top candidates and extensive time spent on each assignment.

    • No targets or fill quotas so I can focus on quality over quantity.

    • Excellent technical knowledge for those very awkward niche roles that are a nightmare to recruit for.

    • Expert in our niche field with access to candidates others can’t reach.

    • I don’t head-hunt staff of companies i’m partnered with.

    • Market insights and advice on your reputation and benefits, and that of your competitors.

    • Hiring metrics - how many candidates in the area met your job criteria; where they work; how many were interested in your role VS not interested and why. Whatever metrics you like!

    • Deep partnership for mobilizations and hiring projects to get the right people on board, within project deadlines, without compromising on quality.

    • Very competitive pricing for the level of service you receive.

    • Free replacement of candidates who don’t work out - we’re you’re partner for a long time, not just a good time.

  • Collaborative, honest, and straightforward.

    We’ll always tell you the truth, even if it’s not what you want to hear - but we’ll also bring solutions to the table, working together to solve the issue.

    We are friendly and down to earth, taking an interest in our businesses and contacts personally - your happiness is our happiness! We aren’t corporate stooges managing huge portfolios of clients across the globe, we’re a small, people-led consultancy who want to make a big difference to those they work with.

  • Jenny enjoys being a specialist in her field and getting into the heart of an industry.

    When you cover a niche, you get to know all the candidates and clients in that area, becoming the ‘go to’ person in that field. This gives you word of mouth access to referred candidates that are not on the job market. We know who the job-hoppers are, the hire-and-fire businesses to avoid and can provide real insight into the industry.

    If you’re recruiting in California one week and New York the next, you never truly get to know the market- you’re going in cold with adverts and head-hunting, only accessing the ‘active’ market.

    By focusing in on one niche, we forge long term relationships and have access to the passive candidates who aren’t on the job market. Top talent who trust us as an expert advisor in the field, so when we bring a job opportunity to them that would be a good fit - they listen.

    We’re not ‘selling’ a role, we’re advising as a market expert in that area and that’s a big difference. Cantrell Consulting isn’t a sales business, we’re a trusted advisor.

  • The UK Facilities Management (FM) and Critical Environment recruitment market is one of the most mature and experienced in the world. With 20 years of deep expertise in this sector, we bring a sophisticated, head-hunt-led approach that goes beyond the transactional nature of traditional high-street agencies. We leverage global best practices to solve the severe candidate shortages currently facing US data centers and critical sites.

  • It does to us!

    Cantrell Consulting selectively partners with businesses with a strong ethical compass - that care about their staff and the impact they have on the world around them.

    When we’re placing a candidate in a new company, this has a big impact on that individual’s career, their life and their family - and we take this responsibility seriously.

    Being choosy about who we work with means we can be confident candidates will be happy with their new employer, and the employer happy with the candidate in both skills and culture.

    We forge relationships with candidates and clients long-term, and by ensuring we are truly enthusiastic about the business we’re working with, their culture and services, we can better represent them accurately to the talent market and secure them the best staff.

  • We have a fixed and transparent pricing model which is dependent on the salary of the role we’re recruiting for.

    We are competitively-priced compared to other agencies due to less corporate overheads. We are significantly cheaper than specialist head hunters, so we offer experience and high quality at a very good price point.

    After an initial conversation, we’ll provide a transparent quote and full terms of business with no hidden costs.

  • You can reach us anytime via our contact page, email or linked in. We aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.
