Where it Began

In 2014, Reagan Higgins founded Franklin Smith having worked in recruitment for over 10 years. Reagan became CEO, combining years of tier 1 process and professionalism with a vision to improve on the often forgotten fundamental of building human relationships based on dignity and respect.

Relationship Builders

Reagan developed Franklin Smith to have a value system stronger than competing construction recruitment consultancies, treating candidates and clients like we would our family and friends; with care and with your best intentions at heart.

With this attitude, Franklin Smith is focused on relationships which, like the environment we recruit for, are built to last.
