Facilities Management Recruitment Agency
Recruitment Direct UK supplies facilities management personnel to offices, schools, hospitals, retail sites, public buildings, industrial premises and managed properties across the UK. We cover both hard FM — the engineering, maintenance and building services side — and soft FM, including cleaning, security, catering support and grounds maintenance.
FM staffing rarely runs to a predictable schedule. Contracts mobilise at short notice, sites need cover the same day, and a missed shift on a live contract has immediate consequences. We operate 24/7 with AI-supported applicant screening, so sourcing begins the moment a requirement is confirmed rather than the next working morning.
Every candidate is Right to Work checked and compliance screened before submission, with DBS or Disclosure Scotland checks arranged where the site or role requires it.

Facilities Management Recruitment FAQs
How quickly can you supply facilities management staff?
For most FM roles we can supply screened candidates within 24 hours, and same-day for cleaning and caretaking cover in areas where we hold an active local candidate pool. Our applicant screening runs 24/7, so sourcing starts as soon as the requirement is confirmed rather than the next working day.
Do you cover both hard and soft FM?
Yes. Hard FM covers maintenance technicians, multi-skilled and HVAC engineers, electricians and plumbers. Soft FM covers cleaning, security, portering, grounds maintenance and catering support. We also supply FM management, helpdesk and compliance roles.
Can you support a new contract mobilisation?
Yes. We handle high-volume mobilisations where a full site team is needed from a fixed start date, including phased starts across multiple sites. Give us the start date, shift pattern and headcount and we build the pipeline against it.
Are your FM candidates DBS checked?
Where the role or site requires it, yes. We arrange enhanced DBS checks in England and Wales, and Disclosure Scotland or PVG scheme membership in Scotland, before a candidate starts on a regulated site.
Do you supply FM staff nationwide?
Yes. Recruitment Direct UK supplies facilities management personnel throughout Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, from our office in Linlithgow with a national candidate database.
