5S Recruitment

5S Recruitment is a UK-based specialist talent partner focused on engineering and manufacturing, with deep expertise across plastics, precision engineering and FMCG environments. Established in 2022 by Director Jamie Hancher, who brings over 15 years of industry experience supporting many of the UK’s largest manufacturers and engineering companies, the firm operates nationwide and delivers hires at every level, from shop-floor and technical roles through to management and senior/executive appointments. Inspired by the Japanese 5S methodology for workplace organisation, 5S Recruitment applies a rigorous, process-led approach that prioritises quality over volume: Search, Screen, Shortlist, Select, Service. The team takes time to understand each brief, culture and capability need, engages thoroughly with candidates, and presents concise shortlists of 3–5 well-matched professionals, alongside transparent rationale on inclusions and exclusions to enable informed client decisions. Acting as an extension of the client’s business rather than a supplier on the outside, 5S provides hands-on support through every stage of selection, keeping both successful and unsuccessful candidates informed and supported, and delivering attentive onboarding aftercare to ensure smooth starts and long-term success. This consultative model is designed to eliminate common weaknesses in recruitment—poor screening, weak communication and misalignment—by embedding sector knowledge, disciplined research and high-touch service into every assignment. Recognising that cost should not be a barrier to securing the right talent, 5S also offers flexible packages that help even smaller operations scale effectively while maintaining high hiring standards. With a commitment to continuous improvement, market insight and relationship-led delivery, 5S Recruitment has become a trusted resource for UK engineering and manufacturing businesses seeking reliable results across plastics, precision engineering and broader FMCG manufacturing, and a valued advocate for candidates aiming to progress in these sectors.
