What Executive Network Group does

Executive Network Group (ENG) is a UK-based specialist recruitment firm that places mid-to-senior professionals into employer organisations across multiple disciplines. The company operates a multi-brand portfolio comprising six specialist sub-brands: HSE Recruitment Network (health & safety), Technical Network (technical and engineering), Middlemore (HR and executive search), Elite Consultancy Network (sales and commercial), FMC Network (facilities management and construction), and Procurement People (procurement and supply chain). Each brand maintains its own website, identity, and vertical focus, while sharing common back-office infrastructure and the central ENG recruitment platform.

The core product is a unified online recruitment platform that aggregates job search, personalized job alerts, and a saved-jobs (Shortlist) feature across the six brand sites, enabling candidates to search by brand, sector, and location, and enabling employers to advertise roles through the relevant specialist brand. No proprietary AI, matching algorithm, or advanced technology platform is identified in the input data — the technology stack is a standard job-board implementation with no API, no SDK, no third-party integrations, and no disclosed automation of sourcing or screening. The product offering is augmented by active social media presence (LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter/X, YouTube) and a job-alert email system for candidate engagement.

ENG earns revenue on a transaction-fee basis, charging placement fees for permanent hires and contract margins for interim placements executed through its specialist brands. The go-to-market is sales-led, relying on consultant-driven employer relationships and candidate networks rather than a self-service or product-led model. The customer base spans employers in commercial, engineering, manufacturing, warehousing and logistics, finance and accountancy, technology, utilities, and the public sector, with no named anchor clients disclosed. ENG operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Pertemps Network Group, a privately held UK recruitment conglomerate founded in 1961, and is headquartered in Edgbaston, Birmingham, with 51–100 employees and UK-wide operational reach.
