Industrial recruitment in Somerset & the South West

With branches across Somerset in Taunton, Yeovil and Chard, One Step Recruitment’s largest department is our Industrial division. With consultants in every branch, we’ve been supporting our county’s manufacturing, warehousing, factory, production, building and supply businesses for nearly 20 years.

We are award winning consultants in the Industrial sector: Adriana, our Chard Branch Manager, has won national recruiting awards for her candidate management and we’ve maintained and grown our Industrial client base to cover the whole of the South West.

However, our strengths lie in our locality and our relationships – like every division at One Step, we work on quality over quantity. Industrial staff are hard to find, and the changing demands of the work place can make for difficult hiring. But we’re the county’s leading independent recruiter for a reason, and our speedy service and wide industry knowledge stand us in prime stead to help your company.

Seeking Industrial Staff?

All 3 of our branches have Industrial consultants, focused entirely on recruiting in your sector. Our rates are reasonable, and based on a “no placement, no fee” basis.

As we operate independently, we have our own accounts team, which mean our staffing service is “on payroll”, entirely in-house and designed to make hiring staff quick and easy.

Our database of candidates is now 15,000 deep and growing. With 20 years of recruiting under our belt, we have hundreds of active Industrial job seekers ready to work with short notice. We aim to help you find ideal candidates with previous experience. Whether you need to fill a permanent or long-term position, or simply need temporary workers, we can help.

What skills do I need to work in the industrial/manufacturing sector?

It really depends on the specific role you wish to pursue in the industrial sector. Some common skills that employers look for include:

  • Reliability and punctuality
  • Physical strength and stamina – particularly in roles such as labourers and construction.
  • Ability to work well in a team
  • Good communication skills
  • Ability to follow instructions and work efficiently
  • Experience with machinery or tools (depending on the role)
  • Knowledge of health and safety regulations

Depending on the specific job, additional skills or certifications may be required. For example most construction jobs require a CSCS card, other jobs may require a driving license. It’s always best to check the job listing on what is needed for a particular role.

How does our industrial recruitment benefit businesses?
