How We Work

A recruitment process you can actually follow.

No black boxes, no CV dumps. Four clear stages from brief to placement, with full visibility at every step.

01

Brief & Calibration

We meet your hiring manager, walk the site or stack, and agree the non-negotiables — licences, certifications, shift fit and culture.

02

Targeted Search

We activate our sector networks and vetted talent pools, screening for qualification, right-to-work and genuine role fit before you see a single CV.

03

Technical Screening

Security candidates are licence-checked, IT candidates are technically assessed, and motor candidates are trade-tested — by specialists in each field.

04

Placement & Aftercare

We manage offers, notice periods and onboarding, then check in at 30, 90 and 180 days to make sure the placement is holding strong.

What We Recruit

Three sectors. One standard of excellence.

We go deep rather than wide. Every consultant on our team specialises in a single industry, so you get shortlists built on real sector knowledge — not keyword matching.

Security Recruitment

From manned guarding to control-room operations and close protection, we place SIA-licensed officers and security managers who hold the right clearances and the right temperament.

  • SIA Licensed Officers & Supervisors
  • Control Room & CCTV Operators
  • Security Managers & Consultants
  • Close Protection & Event Security

Information Technology

We recruit across infrastructure, cloud, cybersecurity and software delivery — from first-line support to CTO-level leadership, with technical screening done by engineers, not generalists.

  • Cloud & Infrastructure Engineers
  • Cybersecurity & SOC Analysts
  • Software Developers & DevOps
  • IT Leadership & Architecture

Motor Industry

Dealerships, fleet operators and workshops rely on us for technicians and aftersales staff who can pick up tools and hit the floor running, with qualifications verified up front.

  • Vehicle Technicians & Mechanics
  • Service Advisors & Aftersales
  • Fleet & Workshop Managers
  • Parts & Logistics Specialists

About Us

Specialists, not generalists.

The Talent Dragon is a specialist recruitment consultancy built around three industries we know inside out: Security, Information Technology and the Motor trade. We were founded on a simple frustration — that too much recruitment is done by people who have never set foot on a site, in a data centre or on a workshop floor.

Every consultant on our team works a single sector. That means we understand the licences, certifications, shift patterns and technical language that actually matter to your role — and we screen for them before a CV ever reaches your inbox.

Whether you are an employer who needs a vetted shortlist fast, or a candidate looking for a role that fits your skills and your life, you will deal with a named consultant who knows your market.
