With over 50 years experience in the construction sector and a network of 19 offices across the UK, ITS is a well-established and highly respected recruitment consultancy.

Each office operates with a strong local focus, backed by hands‑on leadership and supported by a wider group infrastructure. This model allows us to deliver a tailored, high‑quality service while maintaining a collaborative and high‑performing culture.

Our Guildford office, established in 1989, has a strong reputation and long-standing client relationships across Surrey and the surrounding areas.

• Ability to develop relationships and win business
• Highly organised with strong time management skills

We are also open to experienced recruiters from other sectors who can demonstrate consistent performance and the ability to adapt to a fast‑moving market.

ITS is committed to developing its people. You ll receive ongoing training through both internal programmes and external partners including REC‑accredited learning.

You ll also have full support to implement a growth strategy for your desk, including budget and leadership backing.

We promote from within and offer genuine long‑term progression, with many of our Directors having started as consultants.
