WELCOME YOU TO Quest Personnel
At Quest Personnel, we specialise in the search and selection of top-tier professionals in the construction industry. By working closely with our clients, we are able to attract, engage, and connect you with the best talent in the market.
We’re not just here to help you find a job; our goal is to support your entire career journey. With our up-to-date market knowledge, we provide expert guidance to help you secure the right role and advance within your chosen field.
As a trusted partner to some of the world’s leading construction companies, our clients are responsible for designing and building the iconic skylines of cities across the globe.
We don’t rely on job ads or LinkedIn posts. At Quest, every search starts with direct outreach — old-school headhunting powered by deep market knowledge and meaningful conversations. Our consultants are on the phones daily, engaging with high-performing professionals across the UK, Ireland, and the USA. This outbound, telephone-based approach means we access talent others miss — the individuals not actively looking, but open to the right opportunity when approached with intelligence and discretion.
We don’t fill roles — we solve hiring problems. Our team operates as true headhunters within the consulting engineering space, approaching individuals with the specific experience, technical background, and cultural alignment your business needs. Whether it’s a niche discipline or a critical leadership position, we approach the market with focus and strategy, treating every assignment as a search — not a sift through active applicants.
We work best when we work as a partner. That’s why we favour retained and exclusive partnerships — they allow us to act as an extension of your brand and fully immerse ourselves in your culture, challenges, and goals. With exclusivity, you gain priority, commitment, and a confidential, quality-driven search process that protects your brand and delivers results. We’re not about volume — we’re about impact.
Quest Personnel was founded in 2018 by Conor Boland with a clear vision: to build a recruitment agency that did things differently. He set out not just to match people with jobs, but to genuinely impact lives and careers — and to raise the standard of recruitment across the board.
At the time, Conor was working in a large agency where much of the work relied on volume — mass LinkedIn messages and speculative CVs. It felt transactional. Disconnected. Broken. He knew there was a better way — one rooted in real conversations, strategic search, and meaningful partnerships.
What started in a tiny pod office, placing civil engineers in London, has grown into an international headhunting firm. Today, Quest works with some of the biggest and best names across the UK, Ireland, and the USA — placing everyone from labourers to global board directors.
The team Conor has built shares that same passion for people and precision. They’re curious, committed, and constantly evolving — staying sharp on industry trends so they can deliver the highest level of service.
Through a combination of trust, hard work, and a relentless focus on quality, Quest has earned its reputation as one of the most dependable and respected recruitment partners in the consulting engineering space.
