Matchtech Group plc is one of the UK's leading specialist technical recruitment consultancies and the first technical recruitment agency to be awarded the Recruitment & Employment Confederation Audited status, which represents the "Gold Standard" of REC membership.

Established in 1984, the group has rapidly grown to become one of the largest independent agencies with a turnover of £125 million this year and a contractor workforce of 3,500.

Annually we supply more than 1,000 companies and place in excess of 6,000 highly skilled personnel throughout the UK and internationally.

We have expanded dramatically over the last few years and we now operate from purpose-built 18,000 sq.ft offices on the Solent Business Park between Southampton and Portsmouth.

Our outstanding success has been due to selecting only the very best consultants who specialise in specific industry sectors and know that recruitment is about individuals, not numbers.
