Who we are
Rhino Talent Acquisition isn’t your typical recruitment company. We’re a niche consultancy with a sharp focus on the high voltage T&D, contestable connections, and MEP building services sectors.
Founded by Paul Norton, Rhino TA was born out of a simple but often missed truth: great recruitment isn’t about volume, it’s about relevance, understanding, and partnership.
With over 27 years' experience, including a decade in-house at with leading industry contractors, we know what clients actually need: people who’ll thrive in the role, not just tick boxes on paper.
Our Values – RHINO
These values underpin every search we run, every conversation we have, and every placement we make:
Reliable – You can count on us to follow through, communicate clearly, and stay engaged
Honest – We’ll always tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to
Informed – We understand the role and the market so we match more effectively
Networked – We tap into relationships built over decades, not just job boards
Optimised – Our approach is refined, focused, and results-driven
What Makes Us Different?
We’ve sat on both sides of the hiring table—so we know the pressure of building a team, not just filling a vacancy. That dual experience helps us align not just with the job spec, but with the wider goals of your business.
We work best with clients who want more than a CV service—those who value insight, collaboration, and the confidence that comes from working with someone who just gets it.
Our Personality?
Decent. Direct. No-nonsense—but always people-first. We’re in it for the long game, building genuine relationships with both clients and candidates. When we say “consultative”, we mean it.
