Our track record of working with leading local and international names in the industry speaks to the strength of our relationships and our unique understanding of the market’s demands.
What truly sets us apart is our passion for design and the way businesses operate, grow, and nurture their talent.

Our approach is rooted in a commitment to aligning candidates not only with the skills and experience required but also with the values, culture, and vision of the companies we serve.
We are driven by our belief that exceptional design comes from exceptional teams, as well as the environment that enable them to evolve in! We are dedicated to helping businesses find the right individuals who will drive innovation, creativity, and growth. Through close collaboration with our clients, we support their efforts to build cohesive, forward-thinking teams that deliver results in an ever-evolving market.

Our reputation is built on trust, reliability, and the strong relationships we foster within the architectural and design community.
When companies partner with us, they know they’re working with a team that consistently delivers high-quality talent, tailored to their specific needs. Job seekers who work with us, become clients, which proves the our value in our market! So, we invite you to join the many businesses who have found their perfect team members through AE Recruitment, ensuring your next hire is a lasting investment in your company’s future.
We go beyond traditional hiring methods by offering internal assessments and external services like psychometric testing to ensure the best outcomes, whether you’re making high-level appointments or conducting mass hiring. CVs, LinkedIn profiles, and interviews provide only a limited snapshot of a candidate’s potential, and with interviews averaging just one hour, it’s often not enough time to fully assess if a candidate can meet your expectations.
This is where our tailored assessments come in. We provide comprehensive psychometric evaluations that remove the guesswork from the hiring process, offering deeper insights into a candidate’s capabilities, personality traits, and potential fit within your team. By leveraging these assessments, you can make informed hiring decisions and understand how to unlock the full potential of both new hires and your existing workforce.
With our psychometric testing, you’ll have the confidence that the individuals you bring on board will not only meet but exceed your performance standards.
To truly understand your hiring needs, it’s essential that our recruitment consultants meet with you, whether in person or via MS Teams. The design industry is highly subjective, and crafting an ideal job description can be challenging. By engaging in a direct conversation, we can gain a deeper understanding of your vision, your team’s dynamics, and the specific qualities you’re seeking in a candidate.
Our personalised approach ensures that we capture not just the technical or design skills required, but also the cultural and creative fit that will best complement your existing team. This tailored insight allows us to recommend candidates who will seamlessly integrate into your organisation, minimising costly onboarding times and reducing dropout rates.
At AE Recruitment, we’re committed to helping you maintain your company’s brand and standards by selecting individuals who will contribute to your success from day one. Through these direct consultations, we ensure that the hiring process is smooth, efficient, and aligned with your business goals.
Not only that, because we work on a consultative basis, we will provide insights into best practices throughout your selection, interviewing and hiring process.
We take a meticulous approach to the candidate search process, combining headhunting techniques, the power of our extensive social/online presence with our comprehensive database of over 150,000 design and technical professionals. Once we’ve had an in-depth consultation with you to truly understand your hiring needs—whether that’s through a face-to-face meeting or a virtual MS Teams session—we launch into action.
We start by tapping into our international network, which includes elites, innovators, and rising stars across the architectural and design industries. Our longstanding relationships within the field allow us to reach out directly to top talent who may not be actively seeking new opportunities but could be a perfect fit for your team.
At the same time, we delve into our constantly updated database, which houses a diverse range of professionals, all vetted and categorised by skills, experience, and career goals. We carefully match candidates not only based on their qualifications but also on their potential to integrate seamlessly with your company culture and diverse personalities.
This dual approach ensures that we leave no stone unturned in finding the ideal candidates, minimising hiring time, reducing turnover, and ensuring a smooth, successful integration into your team. Our goal is to help you build a high-performing workforce that drives your business forward from day one….and ensuring that your need to use AE Recruitment further, is due to the success of the team we’ve facilitated to help you build!
The interview process is the ultimate selling point of any company, shaping how you’re perceived in the industry and influencing future hiring success. How you conduct yourself during interviews sends a strong message about how you treat job seekers/employees, which can have a ripple effect on your ability to attract top-tier talent.
At AE Recruitment, we work on a consultative basis to ensure your company makes the right impression. We help you create an interview experience that resonates with candidates, ensuring that everyone we present leaves with a positive and lasting impression. First impressions count as much for you as they do for the candidate, and by ensuring a smooth, professional, and engaging process, you not only secure the best talent but also bolster your reputation in the marketplace for future recruitment drives.
This approach sets the stage for both current and future recruitment ventures, making it easier to attract elite candidates and fostering long-term growth.
We believe that onboarding is just as important as the hiring process itself. Once we’ve found the ideal candidate for your team and they’ve accepted your offer, we continue to support you by facilitating a smooth onboarding process. It’s crucial that new employees feel like part of your team even before their official start date.
We help you integrate your company’s ethics, values, and processes into the onboarding experience, setting clear expectations for the new hire from day one. This proactive approach reduces first-day anxieties and ensures that your new team member feels comfortable, prepared, and confident when they walk through the door. By helping them hit the ground running, we not only boost their productivity but also take the pressure off you and your team, ensuring a seamless transition.
Our goal is to make onboarding an effortless and positive experience, so your new employees can start contributing to your success right away.
