Trusted Technical Sales & Engineering Recruitment Across the UK, Europe & Beyond
Mase Consulting is a specialist technical sales and engineering recruitment agency trusted by employers across the UK, Europe, and beyond. Since 2010, we’ve partnered closely with businesses to identify, attract, and retain high-performing professionals who drive long-term growth.
Our consultative approach means we collaborate on every assignment to understand your market, your challenges, and the skills that define exceptional candidates. From niche technical roles to senior commercial positions, we deliver tailored recruitment and salary benchmarking solutions that help employers hire with confidence.
Operating across diverse industrial sectors, including automation, flow control, scientific equipment, and advanced manufacturing, we take pride in filling complex roles that other agencies struggle to solve. This commitment to precision and partnership has made Mase Consulting the go-to recruitment partner for SMEs and multinational companies alike.
Our Recruitment Models
Every company’s hiring needs are different, so we’ve designed three flexible recruitment models — all built on the same collaborative approach. Whether you need support with a single vacancy, a retained search for a critical hire, or a dedicated talent acquisition partner, each model gives you the expertise, transparency, and results Mase Consulting is known for.
Retingency Recruitment
- Consultative and collaborative approach
- Proactive sourcing of active and passive candidates
- Market mapping and headhunting services
- Dedicated account manager

This is a flexible, non-committal way to work with us. It combines the consultative approach and headhunting of a retained partnership, but with the pay-on-success model of contingency recruitment, meaning you only pay when a placement has been made.
Ideal for employers who want to fill a role, but aren’t ready to commit to a full retained partnership. Whilst this does not include some of the added features and benefits of our other recruitment models, it still provides you with access to our expertise, extensive network and tailored approach.
Retained Recruitment
Everything in our Retingency Model, plus:
- Candidate Behavioural Assessments for final-stage candidates
- Salary Benchmarking
- Discounts on recruitment fees applied
- Personally led by our Recruitment Director, who has over 24 years of success delivering niche and challenging hiring assignments.

A staged payment model, led by our recruitment director, that secures dedicated support for your role. The total fee is split into three equal instalments, one-third to initiate our services, one-third on CV shortlist, and the final one-third upon offer acceptance. Should the chosen candidate fail to start the final one-third would be refunded.
Ready-to-go Talent Acquisition Team
Everything in our Retingency Model, plus:
- Candidate Behavioural Assessments for final-stage candidates
- Salary Benchmarking
- Higher discounts on recruitment fees applied
- Personally led by our Recruitment Director, who has over 24 years of success delivering niche and challenging hiring assignments.
- Dedicated recruiter(s) working exclusively and solely on your hiring projects
- Weekly activity reports and progress updates
Read More
We act as an extension of your internal talent acquisition team, supporting you through periods of planned or unexpected recruitment demand.
Our time is booked and paid for in six-week increments, during which we allocate dedicated internal resources, including team members who work solely and exclusively on your hiring needs.
Recruitment fees are paid in addition on any successful hires; however these are heavily discounted compared with our standard terms, and you’ll receive detailed weekly activity reports showing the number of CVs reviewed, candidates contacted, interviewed, and submitted. This partnership can be extended, allowing us to continue covering multiple roles in line with your priorities.
Ideal for businesses in periods of high growth, but without the time or budget to increase their own internal hiring team.

Why is salary benchmarking important for my business?
Salary benchmarking, also known as ‘compensation benchmarking,’ involves a comprehensive analysis of the market value for a particular role.
Unlike a standard salary survey, which provides average salaries based on a few metrics, salary benchmarking offers far more detail for employers. It takes into account various factors influencing an individual’s salary package, such as location, education, industry, company size, and experience level.
The data gathered during the benchmarking process is customised to meet the specific needs of each employer. By analysing the market and competitors, you can establish a reliable set of benchmarks for your salary offerings. This enables you to effectively compete for high performing individuals without overpaying.
Our results speak for themselves, but it’s great to hear why employers choose us.
Managing Director
I’ve had a number of Technical Sales Managers and Field Service Engineers from Mase and each and every one of them are still with us today. Mase really know their stuff and know my business really well having taken time to visit the office multiple times. This really shows in the quality of candidates they supply. Great work as ever!
Managing Director
Mase are brilliant to deal with. They have recruited a number of individuals for our engineering business and they are my first port of call when I do recruit. They are knowledgable and consult, without being pushy.
Chief Marketing Officer
Mase have worked on a couple of assignments for me, and I’ve been really happy with the effort that has been put into their process. In particular, there’s a lot of candidate pre-screening that gets done, which means I only spend time talking to serious candidates. As a result, we’ve filled those roles with great people. When I talk to candidates, it’s clear that the team takes a lot of time and care about treating them well, which is important when I’m choosing a recruitment partner. So whether employer or candidate, I’d recommend Mase Consulting.
Commercial Director
Mase Consulting is one of the most trustworthy and professional recruitment businesses I’ve had the pleasure of working with. One of the major challenges I face is having a recruiter understand my industry and the skills associated with it, but Mase definitely excel at this. They have helped me fill various difficult and challenging roles over the last 10 years, and have saved me invaluable time wading through CVs. In the vast majority of cases we have succeeded in securing candidates from them. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Managing Director
Against all odds, Mase Consulting came up with a candidate who fitted our requirements perfectly. They spent time asking the right questions in the early stages, which meant they came back with a number of relevant options for review. We look forward to working with the team again.
Global Sales & Marketing Director
I have used Mase Consulting on more than one occasion to help me place key staff. They are extremely professional and very good at finding excellent candidates. I can highly recommend them.
Head of National Accounts
Mase Consulting have always been focused and enthusiastic on the Key Account Management vacancies we have worked together on. They are great at pushing projects to completion within tight deadlines.
Managing Director
The energy and determination Mase demonstrate in fulfilling assignments is fantastic. I have yet to meet another recruitment business that shares that level of passion and enthusiasm. They leave no stone unturned, which makes the hiring process straightforward and effective.
Service Manager
Having spent 8 unsuccessful months searching for a Service Engineer to service our specialist scientific equipment, it was a relief to finally find a recruitment company who took a proactive approach to sourcing. We had resigned ourselves to the fact that the skills we required didn’t exist, however we were pleasantly surprised when Mase delivered on their promise and presented 3 high-profile candidates. Following a successful round of interviews, an offer was accepted and the successful candidate starts with us next week.
National Sales Manager
Having worked with Mase Consulting for a number of years, I believe tenacity is one of their key strengths. They have now successfully placed four difficult-to-find individuals within my team, all of whom are still with the business today.
HR Assistant
Mase Consulting’s thorough understanding of the industry and 1st class sales ability means they are always able to identify candidates who otherwise would not be on the market. Mase Consulting holds a firm place as our first choice recruitment partner as we can always count on them to find those special gems.
Global VP Sales & Marketing
We were very impressed with Mase Consulting. Having worked with other recruiters for several months and going through the frustration of continually explaining the skills and team fit we required, we finally hit gold with Mase. They were able to listen to our needs and deliver a number of relevant candidates within two weeks. We could have happily hired any of the candidates shortlisted by their team.
General Manager
Thanks for all your help! Mase have proven invaluable to us as a business and have always delivered the right fit for our team. They have proven to be very good at listening and understanding the brief accurately.
Managing Director
We’re often looking for niche skills and difficult-to-find individuals, but have struggled to find a recruiter that can consistently deliver. From our first meeting with Mase, we found their enthusiasm for delivery and results-driven approach refreshing. We’ve now worked together on three separate assignments, all successful.
Sales Director
We have worked with Mase Consulting for over 7 years and they have continually gone above and beyond to deliver the mix of technical and commercial skills we have needed to grow our UK operation. They have demonstrated a fantastic understanding of our market and I would highly recommend them to others.
European HR Manager
Mase is focused on what we require, ensuring the candidates they put forward for selection are an excellent fit both technically and culturally. I’ve found the team to be very dedicated and engaged in the various recruitment drives we’ve worked on and I have no hesitation in recommending them to others who need results.
Director
I have used Mase for the last 6 years across numerous functions in the business, and the quality of candidates they have put forward have been first class. The candidates had clearly been vetted and interviewed prior to our meeting, which made the selection process easier. I would highly recommend Mase Consulting to other companies.
Business Unit Director
We have worked with Mase for over 5 years, and I believe consistency is one of their biggest strengths. Together, we’ve been able to build a business relationship and understanding of how we operate and what our business requirements are. We provide clear guidelines of our requirements from Sales, Manufacturing and Logistics, and Mase provide the candidates. We’re a very busy company, but Mase respect this, so you don’t get the constant hassle. Don’t ask me where they find the candidates from, but they do. They do what it says on the tin.

Due to the uniqueness of each job brief, person specification and employer availability, determining an exact timeline for the process can be difficult. However, we aim to provide a detailed shortlist of candidates within 7-14 days of the briefing call we have with the hiring manager.
We solely focus on permanent placements, identifying high-calibre candidates for businesses seeking individuals who will be with them for the long run, aiding in their growth and driving the business forward.
All candidates introduced to our clients have been thoroughly interviewed by our recruitment team. Rather than the usual screening calls that most agencies adhere to following a set list of questions, we engage in conversations with potential candidates which can usually last 60-80 minutes to develop a deep understanding of their skills and capabilities and also provide them with a thorough understanding of your business and opportunity.
Additionally, we conduct behavioural assessments for candidates invited to a final-stage interview, providing you with greater insights into their characteristics. This ensures that you can make an informed hiring decision.
Terms and conditions are agreed upon with each client based on the challenges of your requirements and any additional services you may require.
