Our Story
Supporting industries globally.
Zest began with a straightforward idea: when the right people connect with the right opportunities, progress follows. What started as a small specialist recruiter has grown into a trusted partner to manufacturers, OEMs, and innovators across Europe and North America. Our team is dedicated to finding outstanding talent for complex and technical roles, whether on the factory floor, in a mission critical data centre, or in the boardroom of a global aerospace company.
What We Do
Deep Knowledge, Real Impact.
We specialise in three core markets: Industrial Engineering, Aerospace Executive Search, and HVAC and Mission Critical Cooling. Our dedicated focus in these areas means we understand them deeply, from emerging technologies and regulatory change to regional hiring trends and leadership challenges. This knowledge allows us to support clients with urgent technical hires as well as executive appointments, delivering the right people for both immediate needs and long-term growth.
How We Work
Recruitment with People at the Center
Recruitment for us is not about numbers; it is about people. We take the time to understand each client’s culture, growth plans, and technical needs, then connect that insight with our global talent network to deliver lasting results. For candidates, we act as career partners, offering honest advice, market insight, and introductions that align with both ambition and skill, helping them take the next step in their careers with confidence.
