THE CENTO WAY
A specialist partner built on three quiet principles.
1
Specialism over generalism
We work within defined Building Services markets, giving our consultants the knowledge to understand the roles, skills and people that make each sector different.
2
Relationships over transactions
Recruitment works better when you know the people behind the brief. We invest in long-term relationships with clients and candidates, not one-off placements.
3
Insight before action
The right hire starts with understanding. We listen, challenge where needed and use our market knowledge to help clients make better hiring decisions.
OUR DIVISIONS
Four Sectors.
One specialist
partner
Cento partners with employers to find business-changing professionals, and with candidates to find career-changing moves, across the disciplines that build, power and control modern buildings.
Fire & Security
We connect elite specialists with leading organisations. From engineer to project manager and C-Suite or board level.
Mechanical & Electrical
Specialised recruitment tailored to your business or candidate needs with honesty and transparency throughout.
HVAC
Expert recruitment for HVAC professionals across all project phases. So you can expand or grow your career faster than you ever thought possible.
Data Centres and Tech
The right people matter in critical environments, which is why we find the right match for client and candidate, from the start.
OUR STORY
From one engineer’s desk to twenty years of partnership
“We believe we could deliver more than just skilled engineers, and that became the most defining idea in the business.”
Cento was founded in 2005 by Brett Ennals after a long-standing career within the industry. Starting as an engineer-focused recruitment business, Cento grew around a simple principle: specialist markets deserve specialist recruiters.
What started with technical recruitment has developed into long-term partnerships across Building Services. Our understanding of the industries we serve has grown with us, but the principle remains the same: know the market, understand the people and build relationships that last.
We got it.
Thank you for contacting us.
We’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
