About Us

About Us

CBSbutler was established in 2003 following the merger of CBS Appointments and the UK arm of Butler International Inc. Together, these two technical recruitment firms brought over 50 years of combined experience, a legacy that still drives our approach today.

We specialise in sourcing high-calibre talent across a range of technical and professional sectors, including ITEngineering, Defence Consultancy, Aviation & Aerospace, and Business Support. Our teams combine deep market knowledge with a consultative mindset, working as true partners to our clients, from start-ups to global blue-chip organisations.

Global Reach. Local Expertise.

While we’re headquartered in the UK, our reach is international. We work with businesses and candidates across Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific region, delivering recruitment solutions that are scalable, compliant and tailored to each market.

Trusted to Deliver

Our track record has been recognised across the industry. We’ve received over ten specialist recruitment awards and we’re proud holders of FEEFO’s Platinum Trusted Service status, which we've maintained for five consecutive years based on real client and candidate feedback.

Experience That Makes the Difference

Our senior team brings over 120 years of combined experience in technical and engineering recruitment. That knowledge shapes everything we do, from complex hiring strategies to hands-on delivery and ensures we stay focused on what matters: results.

Whether you're looking for your next role or your next great hire, CBSbutler is here to help.
