Founded in 2019 and rebranded in 2025, YCR Group has quickly established itself as a trusted partner in construction and engineering recruitment. We specialise in white-collar hiring across both temporary and permanent roles, delivering flexible recruitment solutions tailored to the needs of modern construction businesses.
What sets us apart is the depth of industry knowledge within our team. Every consultant at YCR brings either direct experience from the construction sector or works closely within it, giving us a clear understanding of the challenges our clients face – from project timelines to workforce planning.
This real-world insight, combined with strong recruitment expertise, allows us to quickly align with our clients and deliver talent that fits both technically and commercially.
We provide flexible construction recruitment solutions through three core models:
We believe recruitment should go beyond simply filling vacancies. Our focus is on building long-term partnerships, understanding the people behind the roles, and supporting our clients’ wider business objectives.
Whether we are supporting a single hire or ongoing workforce requirements, our goal is to deliver consistent, reliable results that contribute to long-term success.
By combining a relationship-led approach with data-driven and AI-enabled recruitment tools, we ensure our service remains efficient, accurate, and adaptable.
As the construction industry continues to evolve, so do we – continually refining how we deliver recruitment to meet the changing demands of our clients.
