Contractor Recruitment

We understand that Energy Projects are subject to a wide ranging of often rapidly changing requirements. Visuna assists this by providing highly skilled, experienced consultants to clients on a temporary contract basis. By doing so, this employment basis provides clients with talent as and when required and removes the costs when not required. Consultants also benefit from the flexability to work as and when they wish around family commitments.

Expand your team without expanding your complexity.

Contractor recruitment gives organisations the flexibility to access specialist skills exactly when they are needed. Whether you are delivering a short-term project, responding to increased workload or filling a critical skills gap, experienced contractors can provide immediate capability without the long-term commitment of permanent recruitment.

At Visuna, we help businesses identify, assess and engage qualified contractors across technical, engineering, operational and commercial disciplines. Our recruitment team takes the time to understand the requirements of each assignment, including the skills needed, project location, duration, working pattern and compliance requirements.

Using our industry networks and extensive candidate database, we can quickly source professionals with the relevant experience, qualifications and availability. Every contractor is carefully screened before being introduced, helping you reduce hiring risk and move from vacancy to mobilisation as efficiently as possible.

Our support can extend beyond recruitment to include contracts, onboarding, payroll, compliance, documentation and ongoing contractor management. This provides a complete workforce solution that allows your team to focus on project delivery while we manage the recruitment and administrative process.

What is contractor recruitment?

Contractor recruitment is the process of sourcing and engaging professionals for a defined project, assignment or period of work. Contractors are commonly used to provide specialist expertise, cover temporary skills shortages, support major projects or help organisations respond quickly to changes in workload.

What types of contractors can you recruit?

We recruit contractors across a wide range of technical, operational, engineering, commercial and support disciplines. This includes professionals for the energy, oil and gas, renewables, infrastructure and industrial sectors, from individual specialists through to complete project teams.

How quickly can you provide suitable contractors?

Timescales depend on the role, location, experience required and current market availability. For urgent requirements, we can begin searching immediately and may be able to present suitable candidates within 24 hours. Every contractor is screened against the specific requirements of the assignment before being introduced.

What checks do you carry out before placing a contractor?

Our screening process can include identity checks, right-to-work verification, employment history, references, qualifications, certifications and role-specific compliance documents. Where required, we can also verify medicals, offshore certificates, visas, permits and other documentation needed for mobilisation.

Can you recruit contractors internationally?

Can you manage payroll and compliance for contractors?
