FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Get answers to your engineering recruitment questions here.

How do you find candidates for hard-to-fill engineering roles?

We use a multi-faceted approach, including our extensive candidate database, leading job boards, targeted social media campaigns, and proactive headhunting. We also use AI to uncover hidden gems who might not show up in traditional searches.

How do you ensure the quality of your candidates?

We have a rigorous screening process that includes in-depth interviews, skills assessments, and reference checks. Our consultants are also experts in their field, able to evaluate candidates' technical abilities and cultural fit.

How does your technology benefit my business?

Our AI tool, Betty, helps us quickly and efficiently identify top talent by analysing CVs and resumes based on skills and experience, rather than just keywords. This ensures that we don't miss out on potentially great candidates who might not use the exact terminology you're looking for.

What if I'm concerned about the cost?

We operate on a contingent model, meaning you only pay when we successfully place a candidate. This minimises your risk and ensures you only pay for results.

How do you address the challenges of a candidate-driven market?

Candidates are seeking more than just a good salary. We work with you to develop a compelling employer brand and offer competitive benefits packages to attract top talent.

Can you help me fill both temporary and permanent engineering roles?

Yes, we can help with both temporary and permanent recruitment.

Do you offer any additional services besides recruitment?

Yes, we offer a range of additional services, including job specification development, salary benchmarking, and consultation on industry trends and best practices. Contact us to learn more.
