We work on a case-by-case or retained basis, helping clients acquire the right individuals with ideal skills for both permanent and interim positions.

Supporting Veterans at URS
URS is very proud to support veterans and service leavers seeking second careers. We know employers value their work ethic, discipline, and wide range of transferable skills, so we dedicate a portion of our work to nurturing these professionals throughout their job search journeys.
If you are a veteran or service leaver from a Junior NCO to a 4*, we invite and encourage you to get in touch.
