Our Story

We launched FYBA with a clear goal: to raise the standard of recruitment. Too often, the industry overpromises and underdelivers. We set out to change that by building a consultancy that’s honest, people-focused and built on trust.

Our team combines deep technical knowledge with genuine care for the people we work with. We’re hands-on, highly trained and committed to doing things properly. No shortcuts, no empty promises, just consistency, integrity and long-term results.

This straightforward approach has helped FYBA become a trusted partner to clients and candidates alike, recognised for authenticity, expertise and a determination to do recruitment the right way.

We can tell you about the amazing things we can do for your business, but we think our customers can tell you better. After all, what they think is what really matters.

Efficient, informative and professional

Over the past 18 months, I’ve had a very positive experience working with the FYBA Talent team. They have consistently demonstrated a helpful, supportive, and professional approach, always going above and beyond to meet our requirements. 

Their responsiveness and adaptability have been particularly valuable in keeping pace with the ever-changing needs of the water sector. 

It’s been a pleasure working with such a committed and proactive team, and I look forward to continuing our partnership.

Water Client

Set a new level of service within the recruitment industry

This level of professionalism isn't like anything I have ever experienced, and they really took the time to understand what I was looking for and found me the perfect match'.

Candidate

Motivated and professional

The Fyba team are incredibly motivated and professional, taking time to learn all my skills and directly communicating with me frequently to make sure any potential career for me was suited for my needs.They spent time on critical aspects of work life and considered factors such as distance, area of travel because I have kids, possibilities to work from home to help alleviate pressure off my partner.

Senior Candidate

Great range of candidates

We started working with Joe and Nathan 9 months ago and, over that time, we feel a partnership has developed enabling us to continue at pace with our growth plans. Fyba are responsive to our requirements, demonstrate a real interest in learning about us and our needs and provide a great range of candidates in a short space of time. The talent we have secured via Fyba has been of a high standard which means we continue to work regularly with Joe and Nathan – in fact we have now engaged them to work with other areas of the Group supplying a pipeline of talent for our businesses.

Chas Earl
Senior Consultant

I began my career in recruitment in 2014 with a small agency specialising in the construction sector, I then moved to a larger recruitment firm to further develop my skills, progressing into a 360 consultant role in 2016, specialising in the multi-utilities sector.

Over the past nine years, I have built extensive experience within the utilities industry, with a particular focus on water and wastewater. This has given me a strong understanding of the sector and the ability to effectively support both clients and candidates in white-collar roles.

I take pride in building long-term, genuine relationships and delivering a high level of service to both clients and candidates.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends and maintaining an active lifestyle. I regularly play football, tennis, and golf, and enjoy making the most of my time both professionally and personally.

Focus at Fyba Talent:
As a Senior Consultant in the Water team, I specialise in connecting Design & Build clients with high-calibre MEP talent for water projects. I deliver tailored recruitment solutions across both contract and permanent roles nationwide.

Joe Connell
Consultant

Having graduated from the University of Chichester with a degree in Physical Education in 2021, my career has taken a bit of a journey before finding my way into recruitment. I spent several years working in sports coaching and events, before making the move into recruitment in July 2025. 

I’ve always enjoyed working with people, which is probably why recruitment has suited me so well. My background in coaching has definitely helped, particularly when it comes to understanding different personalities, building relationships and getting the best out of people. I’m naturally quite competitive as well, so I enjoy the commercial side of recruitment and the challenge of consistently trying to improve and hit the next target!

Away from work, sport is still a massive part of my life. Since the birth of my son in 2025, I’ve naturally found myself spending a lot more of my time with him and my fiancée, which I wouldn’t have any other way. I also manage a local men’s football team on a Saturday, so football still plays a big part in my weekends. 

Focus at Fyba:
Recruitment Consultant focusing on Civil Engineering, working across both contract and permanent markets and looking after everything from winning new business and building client relationships through to finding the right candidates and managing the full recruitment process.
