Questions we hear most often
How is Coyle Group different from a generalist H&S recruiter?
We focus on five industries only: wind, power generation, utilities, oil & gas, and engineering. Our 100-strong safety talent pool is degree-qualified, organised by industry, and re-graded continuously through our performance oversight and quality management. Combined with a chartered founder and a published methodology, we deliver something a generalist recruiter cannot.
What makes The Coyle Approach defensible to a regulator?
The Coyle Approach is a 7-page white paper we wrote that defines five stages of safety culture maturity, from Inattentive to Exemplary. It draws on the UK HSE management framework and the US S-CAT culture assessment tool. Because it is published IP, UK HSE and Irish HSA inspectors recognise the language straight away.
Why does the 48-hour SLA actually hold?
Our talent pool is already in place. We carry 100+ degree-qualified safety officers, organised by industry and re-graded continuously. We have placed people on offshore wind in Finland, mine demolition, SCADA panel installs in Northern Ireland, and 63-substation rollouts. Speed like this needs a standing talent pool, which is why competitors who lack one do not publish it.
Are Coyle Group people chartered and published, or just qualified?
Every contract safety officer in our talent pool is degree-qualified. Our founder Gavin Coyle is CMIOSH chartered, holds an MBS Level 9 from DCU, wrote Workplace Safety on a Budget (ISBN 9798887593906) on Amazon, and hosts the 112-episode I'm The Gaffer podcast. We are NSAI-certified to ISO 14001, ISO 9001, and ISO 45001, and we hold IOSH corporate and NRF memberships.
Why does it matter that recruitment, consulting, and managed services sit under one roof?
Because the work flows naturally. A site engagement might start as a 48-hour safety officer placement, grow into a Coyle Approach maturity audit, and settle as a managed HSE function, all without changing supplier, chartered standard, or methodology. We own the outcome from start to finish, which a generalist recruiter or standalone consultancy cannot.
Will I actually get the founder, or a junior account manager?
You reach our founder. 17 of our 23 Trustpilot reviews name Gavin personally, and most cite his out-of-hours support as the reason they stay. Chartered access is the engagement itself. If the incident happens at 02:00, our chartered founder is the one on the phone.
