Tecrec

What Tecrec does

TecRec is a UK-based full-service recruitment consultancy established in 2020, operating from its headquarters in Harrogate, England. (Firmographic data lists the city as Leeds; the company's own website identifies Harrogate as the office location.) The firm specializes in three vertical markets—Chemicals, Commercial/Sales, and IT & Technology—and targets organizations undergoing rapid expansion or entering new markets. It operates with a small team of 1-10 employees and positions itself as delivering recruitment solutions globally from a single UK base.

The company offers three core service lines structured around a single unified consultancy offering: On Demand Recruitment (flexible, time-bound talent sourcing emphasizing speed and cultural fit), Campaign Recruitment (medium to long-term strategic talent attraction for companies opening new offices or expanding into new markets), and Executive Search (discreet, in-depth leadership hiring with market analysis). All services are delivered by the same in-house team of industry specialists. There is no proprietary technology platform; the offering is service-based and relies on consultant-led sourcing, screening, and placement.

TecRec's revenue model is transaction-fee based, with income generated from contingency or retained search fees on successful candidate placements. Go-to-market is sales-led via direct client engagement. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. There are no disclosed funding rounds, investors, ownership structure, customer logos, awards, patents, or third-party press mentions in the available data. Key public contact is Simon Walker ([email protected]), who on the available evidence appears to be the principal founder or operating lead.
