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.
A better place to work
At Aylin White, we treat our own employees with the same care and consideration as our clients. That’s why we give you a thorough and rounded learning experience when you join, and why we pride ourselves on creating a supportive environment for every member of our team.

client testimonials
I found the whole process of working with Ida to be very positive. Ida provided excellent support and guidance throughout, making it a smooth and enjoyable experience, and I'm grateful for her assistance.
I had very clear and straightforward discussions with Ida and the rest of the Aylin White team. They were able to answer all my queries and they had a really good connection with the company. Ida was very helpful, friendly and regularly followed up to ensure an extremely smooth process throughout.
Maria was wonderful and communicative. Always available to answer any queries and has kept in contact even after the process. Even if it’s just for a chat to find out what’s out there for your career, Maria will be more than happy to help. Could not have asked for anyone better. Thank you, Maria! Highly recommend!
The Critical Systems team at Cundall have been working with Aylin White for many years. Dan and his team go out of their way to understand our needs and as a result they continually send high-calibre candidates, which has helped us grow us our team across all our offices.
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.
