Facilities Management Recruitment.

Hiring an FM professional in 2026 is harder than it used to be. Candidates are choosier, notice periods are longer, and the cost of a wrong hire — in a role where operational uptime is the deliverable — is higher than ever. CBW is the specialist recruiter UK FM leaders call when they need it done right, and done quickly.

We recruit across the full Facilities Management stack — from FM Assistants and Coordinators up to Heads of FM and Directors of FM — on permanent, contract and freelance terms. Our consultants have spent their careers in this sector, which means when you brief us on a role, you're talking to someone who already knows the market, the salary benchmarks, and, often, the candidates themselves. We work with single-site operators, national service providers, end-clients going direct, and everyone in between.

Sectors we cover

We place FM talent into commercial offices, industrial and manufacturing sites, healthcare estates, public-sector buildings, retail portfolios, hospitality venues, education estates, and mixed-use developments. Whether you're managing a single flagship HQ or a nationwide portfolio of 400 sites, we have consultants who have placed into that environment.

Why clients choose CBW for FM recruitment:

FM is all we do in this desk

Our FM consultants aren't rotated between sectors. They work FM mandates every day — which means faster brief-taking, sharper candidate vetting, and salary benchmarks you can trust because they come from placements we made last week, not industry reports from last year.

Vetted Candidates

We don't CV-dump. Every candidate on your shortlist has been pre-screened by a consultant, briefed on your business, and confirmed as genuinely interested in your role. That's why our shortlist-to-interview conversion sits above the industry average.

Honest feedback, end-to-end

No candidate ghosting. No radio silence after week two. We tell you what candidates are saying about your offer, your process and your business — even when it's uncomfortable. Most of our client relationships run for years, because recruitment done well is consultation, not transaction.
