Welcome to April Quest

April Quest was established to bridge the gap between some of the best Engineering and Technology companies in the world and the talent they require.

 

We specialise in contingency, executive search and contract talent solutions, for the Engineering, Science and Technology industries.

Led by a team with decades of experience, having placed thousands of technical professionals, there are few challenges we haven’t overcome.
