Who We Are

Midlands-rooted.
Construction-focused.

MapTalent is a Birmingham-headquartered construction recruitment firm with deep roots across the West and East Midlands. We are not a generalist agency. Every consultant on our team has spent their career building relationships inside the construction sector — with contractors, developers, civil engineering firms, and the talent that drives them.

Our recruiters average 15–25 years of hands-on sector experience. That depth means we understand the difference between a site manager who can handle a complex phased fit-out and one who cannot. It means we know which candidates are genuinely available, which clients run tight timelines, and how to bridge the two — quickly.

We recruit across the full spectrum: blue collar trades and operatives through to white collar leadership — from skilled labourers and ground workers up to Construction Directors and Commercial Managers. Permanent and contract. Mid-level through to C-suite.

  • Construction specialists — not generalists with a construction desk
  • Birmingham HQ with regional reach across West and East Midlands
  • Blue and white collar — full spectrum, permanent and contract
  • A network built over 30 years across the UK and beyond
  • Trusted by Tier 1 national contractors and established regional firms alike

Our three sector pillars define where we operate and where we focus. If a requirement sits outside the region, we have the network to support it — but the Midlands is where we know the market best, and where our relationships run deepest.

Our Approach

How We Work

Four principles that define how MapTalent operates — and why clients keep coming back.

Sector Specialists

We recruit exclusively within construction and engineering. Every consultant on our team has spent their career in this sector — understanding the work, the culture, and the people. There is no generalist crossover here.

Relationship-Led

Our partnerships are built over years, not transactions. We invest the time to understand how our clients operate and what they really need — so we can place people who fit the business, not just the brief.

Speed & Precision

When a programme is under pressure, time is critical. Our contingency process delivers alternative shortlisted candidates within 72 hours — without compromising on fit, quality, or compliance.

Blue & White Collar

From skilled trades on site to boardroom appointments — we recruit the full spectrum. Permanent or contract, ground worker to Construction Director, we have the reach and the relationships to deliver at every level.

Where We Work

Midlands Coverage.
Wider Reach.

We are grounded in the West and East Midlands. Birmingham is our home — it is where our network is deepest and where our market knowledge is sharpest. From there, we serve clients across the full Midlands region and its surrounds.

When a client needs us further afield, we have the network to support it. Over 30 years of relationship-building means our reach extends well beyond any one postcode.
