Over 170 engineers hired for major electronic security rollout

Fire and Security Service Case Study

The company quickly deployed skilled professionals to difficult-to-staff areas with the help of Technical Resources.

In 2016, a company that develops bespoke electronic security solutions secured a major rollout project. The work involved installing CCTV cameras throughout various commercial estates in the UK.

With the project set to start soon, they needed to quickly hire and deploy engineers to different sites all over the country.

Finding the right talent in challenging locations

The company decided to partner with Technical Resources, a recruitment provider focused on specialist industries that included the Fire & Security sector. To ensure that timelines stayed on track, our team immediately went to work.

Access a nationwide talent pool of skilled professionals

Utilising our professional network, we quickly found skilled and experienced engineers located near the project sites. This eliminated the need for accommodations and ensured a fast response to any requests.

Each engineer was thoroughly vetted to ensure that they had all the necessary tools, vehicles, certifications, and liability insurance for the job.

In addition to providing talent, we also developed a tailored recruitment solution that included:

An accessible point of contact for the project manager to communicate with regularly, including after hours, as many installations are done at night.
Consistent check-in calls to monitor progress and address any issues.
Developing opportunities to build a positive working relationship with the engineers, making it easier to book them for future projects.
Management of payroll, allowing Technical Resources to attract top talent with a weekly payment policy while offering the company flexible payment terms to ease cash flow.

Once deployed, the engineers were able to deliver their work quickly which contributed to the prompt completion of the installation projects. With access to a nationwide talent pool of highly skilled professionals, the company was now better positioned to capitalise on future opportunities.

Today, the company continues to rely on Technical Resources as a trusted partner for their talent needs.

Our Fundraising Tough Mudder Challenge

September 23, 2025

Recruitment or Mud Run? The Technical Resources Tough Mudder Challenge for Centrepoint What do recruitment and mud have in common? More than many realise! Last weekend, the Technical Resources team traded keyboards for muddy trainers and took on the infamous Tough Mudder course, all to help raise vital funds for Centrepoint the UK’s lead charity supporting homeless young people. Between scaling walls, navigating tricky obstacles, and braving freezing mud pits, Our teamwork and determination stood out, whether we were securing top talent or supporting each other through challenges. The same spirit of resilience that defines us in technical recruitment carried us across the Tough Mudder finish line, too. Why Centrepoint? Why Now? Centrepoint is a vital charity providing homeless young people with safe accommodation, mental and physical health support, and essential life and work skills. Their aim is to help young people gain the confidence and tools to live independently. Every pound raised by teams like ours helps secure a brighter, safer future for the vulnerable youth Centrepoint supports. Our Muddy Mission This year, we have set a fundraising target of £3,000 for Centrepoint. All donations are important and appreciated. If you wish to support Centrepoint’s work, donations of any size directly contribute to improving the lives of young people. Our fundraising efforts are ongoing, helping provide opportunities and support to thousands of vulnerable young individuals. A Final Word from the Team Tough Mudder reminded us that the best achievements happen when we rally together whether overcoming obstacles in recruitment, in the mud, or in life. Challenges are easier with a team behind you, and for Centrepoint’s young people, support makes all the difference. We thank everyone who has supported and donated. With collective effort, progress continues towards ending youth homelessness.
