PARTNER Case Study: Centurion

May 28, 2021

Centurion design and make the worlds most advanced and intuitive head protection systems, offering a full range of above-the-neck PPE solutions.

Centurion required support with the recruitment of a number of critical senior vacancies across key functions in the business, where delivery was absolutely paramount.

Our Engage option allowed these pivotal roles to be prioritised, whilst adopting a headhunt approach to explore the candidate market in it's entirety

"As an HR leader, I have always been keen to forge relationships with recruiters so that we can understand each other fully to have the best and most effective working relationships. This benefits us as a company and also the recruiter as they know and understand what is required and also have an understanding of our business, the vison and values.

I have been working with the team at TEC Partners since 2016 and the roles they have recruited for us have been varied over that time. Regardless of the role, I have always found the service from the team to be excellent. All roles have been given the same level of focus and all discussions have been structured and followed up on in a timely manner. For each recruitment the team was focused on the brief, gave clear and concise feedback and a valued opinion on details of the role when asked. The team have a very good way of explaining the market and offering valuable experienced advice when needed. Through our recruitment processes I have worked closely with the TEC Partners Team and have been very pleased with the level of trust and honesty we have built up.

The team were very focused in their task and made sure that we were their number one priority. Not only did we feel their commitment but also saw that in the results. The roles were filled with high calibre candidates and the detail given made the whole process run very smoothly. The team have also been great advocates for Centurion and have represented us well to potential candidates.

In all I have been very happy with the results from the team at TEC Partners and would not hesitate to recommend them to others."

The Hidden Cost of Waiting: When a Specialist Contractor Is the Right Answer September 14, 2026

When an important technical position remains unfilled, it can be tempting to focus on the recruitment cost or the salary temporarily being saved. The real cost is usually happening elsewhere. A project milestone moves. A software release is delayed. A security vulnerability remains unresolved. Existing employees take on responsibilities outside their core roles. Managers spend more time working around the skills gap than solving it. In those situations, the question should not simply be: “Who do we need to hire?” It should be: “What do we need to deliver, by when, and what is the most effective way to secure the capability?” For some requirements, a permanent employee will unquestionably be the right answer. For others, waiting for a permanent recruitment process to conclude can create a far greater commercial risk than engaging a specialist contractor.
