Building the relationships that build your company
We're Aylin White
A recruitment consultancy for Real Estate and the Built Environment, we focus on people, rather than paper.
For us, candidates aren’t just CVs and your roles aren’t just job titles. We see recruitment consultancy as just that. We’re consultative in our approach, spending time with all our candidates and each of our clients to truly understand the needs of the role, and the real strengths, weaknesses and aspirations of our candidates.
We’re experts in the industry and experts in understanding people. Our team is rigorous, informed, process-driven and, above all, personable.
We are One Team, with the best-fit AW person leading on his or her stage of the project. This structure and ethos means we can flex and be nimble for clients depending on each project strategy. Our AW capabilities and process mean each project is led and managed clearly, leading to a consistent standard, which is how we make a difference.

client testimonials
Axis and Aylin White have worked together for nearly 10 years. We have formed a strong relationship, allowing the Aylin White team to build up a clear understanding of what our business needs both technically and in terms of company core values. We have been able to fill estimating, commercial, health and safety and a wide variety of production roles quickly and effectively.
Building surveying roles are hard to come by within London. However, thanks to Aylin White, I am now in the perfect role. I am surrounded by professionals and able to focus on progressing professionally.
Aylin White was there every step of the way, from initial contact until after I had been placed. It was a relief knowing you had someone on your side.
Aylin White offer a friendly service, while their ongoing efforts and support extend beyond normal working hours.
From the first conversation I had with Aylin White, you were able to single out the perfect job opportunity. All the info I was given and the feedback from my interview were good. I'm enjoying the job opportunity that I took and hopefully I am here for many more years to come
I have got to know the team at Aylin White over the years and they have provided a consistent service with grounded, thoughtful advice. They also take the personal touch seriously, which makes them very pleasant to deal with!
Aylin White is genuine about tailoring their opportunities to both candidates and clients. Having met up since my successful placement at my current firm to see how I was getting on, this perspective was reinforced further. I would recommend Aylin White to both recruiting firms and individuals seeking opportunities within the construction industry.
Aylin White work hard to tailor the right individual for the role. I have been fortunate to have been a candidate for them as well as a client and I can safely say they work just as hard for both to make sure that technically and culturally there is a good fit for the needs of the individuals and companies involved.
Aylin White has taken the time to understand our culture and business philosophy. They have therefore been able to source and secure professionals who are technically strong and also a great fit for the business.
