About Our Recruitment Agency in Edinburgh
Trusted By Businesses & Candidates
Finding the right recruitment partner should feel straightforward. You want experienced people who understand your sector, communicate clearly and take both compliance and people seriously.
As a specialist recruitment agent in Edinburgh, businesses and candidates can rely on Jaberu Recruitment supports employers and jobseekers across construction, technical and professional services, construction trades, M&E, building maintenance, waste management, manufacturing, landscaping and office support.
Since 2011, our focus has remained simple: provide a professional recruitment service while making sure the people we work with feel respected, supported and valued.
Why We Started Jaberu Recruitment
Jaberu Recruitment was established in 2011 with a clear purpose: to create a recruitment business that genuinely supports its temporary workers.
We had seen how easily temporary workers could feel overlooked, whether that meant problems with pay, unanswered questions or a lack of support once an assignment had started.
We wanted to do things differently.
That means being accessible, paying people accurately and on time, responding when something needs attention and making sure workers know they are valued.
Those principles still shape the business today.
A New Name, The Same Trusted Team
Jaberu Recruitment was previously known as Peace Recruitment Services.
We changed the name because another business had a similar name, which was creating confusion for clients. The rebrand gave us a clearer identity, but the people, experience, relationships and standards behind the business stayed the same.
For long-standing clients and candidates, Jaberu Recruitment represents continuity rather than a new business.
Decades Of Recruitment Experience Across Specialist Sectors
Our team brings significant experience across the sectors we recruit for.
Sara, Emma and our Director each have more than 20 years of recruitment experience. Mel has more than eight years of industry experience, while Dana has more than five.
Our specialist areas include:
Who We Help
We work with employers that want more than a quick CV.
Our clients include Tier 1 contractors, national housebuilders, housing associations, local authorities and organisations operating across construction and associated sectors.
We support both temporary and permanent recruitment requirements, helping clients find people with the right skills, experience and compliance for each role.
For candidates and temporary workers, we focus on clear communication, fair treatment and ongoing support throughout the recruitment process and assignment.
Why Clients Choose To Stay With Us
Our approach is personal, knowledgeable and long term.
We take time to understand the client, the role and the working environment before recommending candidates. That helps us focus on suitability, not simply availability.
Experienced Recruiters
Our consultants have spent years recruiting within the sectors they support, so clients speak with people who understand their industry.
Personal Service
We build close relationships with clients and candidates while maintaining the professional standards expected by major contractors and public-sector organisations.
Reliable Communication
We believe in being clear, responsive and realistic. If something needs attention, we deal with it.
Long-Term Partnerships
Many of our relationships have been built over years of consistent delivery rather than one-off placements.
A Long-Standing Partnership With Balfour Beatty
A strong example of our approach is our relationship with Balfour Beatty, which began in 2011.
Over the years, we have supported their recruitment requirements across a range of projects and workforce needs.
The value of that relationship is not simply its length. It shows what we believe successful recruitment should look like: understanding the client, delivering consistently and becoming a trusted extension of their team.
We are proud to have built a relationship based on trust, reliability and long-term partnership.
Compliance Is Built Into The Way We Recruit
For us, compliance is part of recruitment, not an administrative task at the end.
Before a placement is made, our process can include:
- Right To Work verification
- Identity and document checks
- Qualification and competency checks
- Relevant training and certification checks
- Employment and assignment documentation
- Health and safety requirements
- Agency Workers Regulations monitoring
- Ongoing document and certification monitoring
We also work with clients to understand the exact requirements of each role, including duties, qualifications, experience, hours, location and known health and safety risks.
Our aim is simple: to protect our clients, our workers and our reputation.
We Prioritise Transparency to Foster Strong, Long-term Partnerships.

Accreditations That Give Clients Confidence
Jaberu Recruitment holds recognised accreditations including:
These provide clients with additional assurance around areas such as compliance, health and safety, workforce management and responsible business practices.
They can also support procurement and pre-qualification processes, particularly for construction, housing and public-sector organisations.
For us, accreditation is not about displaying logos. It is about maintaining high standards every day.
The Values Behind Jaberu Recruitment
Our values influence how we work with both clients and candidates.
What People-First Recruitment Means To Us
For us, a people-first approach is shown through everyday actions.
It means making sure temporary workers are paid accurately and on time.
It means answering questions and being available when support is needed.
It means listening to clients rather than simply sending the nearest available candidate.
It means taking responsibility when something needs to be resolved.
These details may seem simple, but they have been central to the business since 2011.
What Our Clients And Candidates Say
The strongest proof of our service comes from the people who have worked with us.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide professional, knowledgeable and compliant recruitment while treating every client, candidate and temporary worker with respect, honesty and support.
We want to help employers find the right people without losing sight of the people behind every placement.
Where Jaberu Recruitment Is Heading Next
Our ambition is to continue growing Jaberu Recruitment while keeping the personal service and values that have shaped the business since 2011.
We want to strengthen our relationships with Tier 1 contractors, national housebuilders, housing associations, local authorities and other organisations that value a reliable recruitment partner.
Our focus will remain on quality rather than growth for its own sake.
For clients, that means continuing to invest in our people, systems, compliance and sector knowledge.
For candidates, it means continuing to provide fair treatment, clear communication, accurate pay and ongoing support.
Our goal is for Jaberu Recruitment to be known not simply as a recruitment agency, but as a trusted long-term workforce partner.
