25 Years of Global Workforce Solutions and Recruitment
Worldwide Recruitment Solutions (WRS) is an end-to-end workforce solutions and recruitment consultancy partner, supporting clients and candidates across the energy industry and construction. We bring recruitment, workforce mobilisation, compliance and ongoing support together to help organisations build and manage the workforces their projects depend on, wherever in the world those projects take place. In 2026, WRS celebrates 25 years in business, a milestone built on the clients, candidates and colleagues who have been part of our journey.
What does WRS do?
WRS is a global workforce solutions provider working across four specialist sectors: oil and gas, offshore marine, renewable energy and construction. We go beyond filling vacancies, sourcing and placing specialist talent, mobilising contractors across borders, and providing the payroll, compliance and post-placement support that keep workforces operational.
For clients, that means a single partner across the workforce journey. For candidates, it means access to opportunities on major energy and construction projects, with support at every stage.
How did WRS begin?
The business began in 2001 and rebranded to WRS in 2008, moving into the energy industry. Since then, we have grown our expertise across oil and gas, offshore marine, renewable energy and construction, building long-term relationships with clients and candidates along the way.
2026 marks 25 years since the business began. The milestone reflects the clients who have trusted us with their workforce requirements, the candidates and contractors who have built their careers with us, and the WRS team whose expertise and commitment have shaped the business we are today. As we mark our 25th anniversary, our focus remains the same: supporting the people and projects that power the energy and construction industries.
Where does WRS operate?
WRS is headquartered in Altrincham in the UK, with hubs in Tampa, Houston, Singapore, Iraq, East Africa and beyond. From these locations we mobilise candidates in over 90 countries, combining global reach with local knowledge and support in the markets where our clients operate.
Why choose WRS?
WRS takes ownership of the full workforce journey, from sourcing talent through to mobilisation, payroll and ongoing support, all guided by an ISO 9001:2015 accredited quality management approach. Our focus is on understanding each client’s objectives and the realities of their sector, then delivering a consultative service that clients and candidates can rely on over the long term.
What differentiates us is not simply meeting expectations but consistently working to exceed them across everything we deliver.
What are WRS’s values?
People are our purpose. That belief runs through how we work with clients, candidates, colleagues and the people employed on the projects we support, and it is expressed through our four core values.
