Contracting, Compliance and IR35

PMB Recruitment provides contract and interim recruitment with full compliance. All contract and interim roles are assessed through an independent IR35 evaluation process that goes beyond the basic government CEST tool. Each assignment is reviewed for contractual terms and actual working practices. Clear results are issued instantly, and borderline cases are manually reviewed. Roles determined to be outside IR35 are insured to protect the supply chain.

Contractors are sourced for engineering, maintenance, reliability, project delivery, shutdowns, commissioning, improvement activity, automation, controls and technical support. Interim managers and leaders are available for operational challenges, transformation programmes and short term leadership gaps.

Joint Several Liability and SafeRec Umbrella Partners

To protect customers and contractors, PMB Recruitment only works with umbrella companies that hold SafeRec accreditation. These umbrella partners are independently audited and monitored to ensure compliant, transparent and ethical payroll practices. This protects the supply chain and ensures contractors are paid correctly and legally.
