Jason Ball
Managing Director
The MD and founding member of MTS Recruitment, Jason is responsible for the day-to-day running of the business.
He worked in technical recruitment for ten years prior to establishing the company, which means he now has over 30 years’ experience in the sector from just two jobs – a fact he is rightly proud of.
“It was a big jump to move from being an employee to being the boss,” he says. “Fortunately, my previous boss was a great mentor and now, over 20 years later, I’ve grown into the position. The job is never the same, so we’re always moving on.”
Jason’s ongoing challenge is to find the right consultants for the business. Being a specialised company, it’s important to find someone who enjoys working in the technical niche. “Thankfully, once we find the right person, they tend to stay and develop with us, but it is a challenge.”
Once the right consultant has been found, Jason’s greatest pleasure is watching them grow in the position and develop their skills.
In his spare time, he enjoys running, skiing and is a season ticket holder at Chelsea FC, all of which, he says, are perfect for clearing the head and blowing away any cobwebs. As for the strategies you need in recruitment, Jason has a keen interest in military history and often hones his skills by watching documentaries on the subject.
“Above all, though, I’m a family man,” he says. “There’s nothing better than spending time with my wife and kids.”

We were approached by MTS at a time we were looking for an agency to assist in our recruiting efforts. Marjorie, our consultant at MTS, worked professionally, diligently and effectively to help the project go smoothly. We approached MTS ourselves some months later and were immediately impressed with the quick response and their ability to focus on our requests. We were given six CVs right away and several others the following day, and we were able to hire a group of three individuals within a week. Because of this service and professionalism, we added additional staff through MTS a couple of weeks later. I highly recommend working with Mobile Technical Staff.

In the three years we’ve been working with MTS, we’ve always found them to be professional and proactive in providing a seamless approach to meeting our requirements. They’ve engaged a variety of trades to complement our teams on specialist mechanical and electrical projects, mainly within highly secured facilities. This has involved additional formal vetting and training of the candidates prior to site induction and we’ve never had cause to reject any of their assets. On occasion, we’ve had ‘last-minute’ situations out of hours and have been impressed with the efforts of the MTS team – even at director level – going above and beyond to facilitate a provision of labour at these times.

Aura Construction Ltd
We’ve worked with MTS for five years and found them to be highly reactive in filling both permanent and temporary engineering roles. They’re the only agency that actually filters applicants to ensure they are suitable for the role before sending through CVs, which saves a great deal of time. Another positive is that they will guide you on realistic pay scales.
I would highly recommend MTS.Richard Lewis
CEO BJS Group
For over a decade, Jason and his team have sourced some very good employees for Nemco. He always ensures he has exactly the right feel of the company so he can find the best fit applicants. Our relationship has always been open and honest – and I know that he’s the same when dealing with the candidates. He’ll always go above and beyond to ensure that both the client and the candidate are happy. He and the rest of his team are an exceptional and reliable recruitment consultancy. I’ve never had the feeling that Jason was overpricing or not doing his best for us, which is exactly what you need when recruiting.
