Direct search in engineering, R&D and design

We look for design engineers, development engineers, manufacturing engineers, technical project managers and heads of development and testing centres.

Why these roles are hard to fill

A design engineer or manufacturing engineer with experience in a specific field takes a long time to train, and the company keeps them. Few of them are visible on the market.

When they consider a change, they decide based on the content of the work: which products, which CAD system, and how much is new development compared with changes to existing solutions. A job ad that does not say this will not interest them.

How we work

We go through the brief in detail: the product, the software, the share of development and production, the work with documentation, and the language. Then we look for people who do the same work elsewhere, and we can tell each candidate exactly what makes the role interesting.

  1. We translate your brief into the language of the market: the real content of the job, the team, the conditions and what makes the role interesting.
  2. We map the companies and positions where suitable people work today.
  3. We approach them directly, including people who are not actively looking for a job.
  4. We present a shortlist with a comment on each candidate: why they match, their motivation, availability and expectations.

We usually present the first candidates matched to your brief within 10 days of the moment we agree on the role profile together. A named consultant is responsible for each search.

Do you also fill development and R&D management roles?

Yes. We fill specialist and leadership roles, for example technical project managers in R&D or heads of development and testing centres.

What if the brief changes during the search?

The consultant adjusts the search to the new profile. Reacting flexibly to a change in the brief during the search is a normal part of the work, not an exception.

Send us the job description or a few sentences about the role. We will get back to you and suggest how to approach it.
