New subscription service gives building services employers live visibility of available engineering talent - no calls, no chasing, no CVs pushed for the sake of a fee.
Cento Group, the specialist recruitment agency for building services – fire and security, mechanical, electrical and HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), has launched Cento Now, a free-to-join service that puts hiring managers directly in touch with available engineers as the market moves - without a single "just checking in" phone call.
The model inverts traditional agency recruitment. Instead of hiring managers waiting on updates from recruiters and CV chasing, employers subscribe by sector and location. A dedicated team of 10 specialist consultants - in constant contact with engineers across the UK - surfaces relevant candidates and these are sent straight to the hiring managers inbox the moment they become available. No vacancy required. No pressure to respond. No commitment to cancel.
"Recruitment has run on the same script for decades: book a call, follow up, chase a CV nobody asked for," said Brett Ennals, CEO, at Cento. "Cento Now strips that out. We do the market engagement. Employers just decide who's worth a conversation, from one email. We won’t chase you; we won’t call you. It’s all on you. It really is recruitment done differently."
How it works:
1. Subscribe - tell Cento the trades and locations that matter: Fire, Security, Mechanical, Electrical or HVAC, across 12 UK regions.
2. Cento keeps looking - the 10-strong specialist team continually engages the engineering market.
3. Relevant engineers land in the inbox - as soon as someone becomes available.
4. The employer decides - worth a look, they talk to Cento. Not relevant, they ignore it and carry on.
Cento Now is free to join, requires no commitment, and can be cancelled at any time.
