FAT Recruitment

FAT Recruitment is an independent recruitment agency based in London that specialises in architecture and design. It also recruits for business support roles. It says it works with candidates from Part 2 Architectural Assistants to Senior Associates, and with clients hiring architects at all levels, Architectural Technologists and BIM Managers.

The agency serves studios and practices in London and across the Home Counties, from design-led start-ups to global firms in the architecture and design industry. It says it has replaced the sales-driven model typical of agencies with its own process. This begins with a consultation with the client, draws on its network and headhunting to reach candidates, and ends with a shortlist of three. It also publishes a London architecture salary guide and career advice for candidates.
