Why Hire Local Talent in Austria?
Building Trust
Over 80% of Austrian companies prefer to work with businesses that have a localised presence. A local team builds credibility, removes language barriers, and shows long-term commitment to the market.
Growing Revenue
Hiring professionals with local knowledge allows you to tap into established networks, navigate complex buying processes, and spot new opportunities ahead of your competitors.
Retaining Relationships
With in-country support and service engineers, you can respond quickly to issues, build trust through aftercare, and create strong customer relationships that drive repeat business.
Our Recruitment Models
Every company’s hiring needs are different, so we’ve designed three flexible recruitment models — all built on the same collaborative approach. Whether you need support with a single vacancy, a retained search for a critical hire, or a dedicated talent acquisition partner, each model gives you the expertise, transparency, and results Mase Consulting is known for.
Retingency Recruitment
- Consultative and collaborative approach
- Proactive sourcing of active and passive candidates
- Market mapping and headhunting services
- Dedicated account manager

This is a flexible, non-committal way to work with us. It combines the consultative approach and headhunting of a retained partnership, but with the pay-on-success model of contingency recruitment, meaning you only pay when a placement has been made.
Ideal for employers who want to fill a role, but aren’t ready to commit to a full retained partnership. Whilst this does not include some of the added features and benefits of our other recruitment models, it still provides you with access to our expertise, extensive network and tailored approach.
Retained Recruitment
Everything in our Retingency Model, plus:
- Candidate Behavioural Assessments for final-stage candidates
- Salary Benchmarking
- Discounts on recruitment fees applied
- Personally led by our Recruitment Director, who has over 24 years of success delivering niche and challenging hiring assignments.

A staged payment model, led by our recruitment director, that secures dedicated support for your role. The total fee is split into three equal instalments, one-third to initiate our services, one-third on CV shortlist, and the final one-third upon offer acceptance. Should the chosen candidate fail to start the final one-third would be refunded.
Ready-to-go Talent Acquisition Team
Everything in our Retingency Model, plus:
- Candidate Behavioural Assessments for final-stage candidates
- Salary Benchmarking
- Higher discounts on recruitment fees applied
- Personally led by our Recruitment Director, who has over 24 years of success delivering niche and challenging hiring assignments.
- Dedicated recruiter(s) working exclusively and solely on your hiring projects
- Weekly activity reports and progress updates
Read More
We act as an extension of your internal talent acquisition team, supporting you through periods of planned or unexpected recruitment demand.
Our time is booked and paid for in six-week increments, during which we allocate dedicated internal resources, including team members who work solely and exclusively on your hiring needs.
Recruitment fees are paid in addition on any successful hires; however these are heavily discounted compared with our standard terms, and you’ll receive detailed weekly activity reports showing the number of CVs reviewed, candidates contacted, interviewed, and submitted. This partnership can be extended, allowing us to continue covering multiple roles in line with your priorities.
Ideal for businesses in periods of high growth, but without the time or budget to increase their own internal hiring team.

How our recruitment models solve your hiring challenges
Flexibility
Every hiring challenge is different, especially when expanding into new regions such as Austria. That’s why we offer three recruitment models — Retained, Retingency, and Ready-to-Go Talent Acquisition.
Choose the model that fits your urgency, budget, and level of support.
Lack of Candidate Insights
When hiring in a new country or market, deeper insight makes all the difference.
Our Retained and Ready-to-Go Talent Acquisition models provide behavioural assessments for final-stage candidates, helping you make clearer, data-driven decisions.
Continuity
Consistency matters, especially when managing hiring across borders like Austria.
Across all three of our recruitment models, you benefit from a dedicated account manager and a team who understand your industry, goals, and ideal candidate profile. We stay aligned with your needs to deliver culturally and commercially suitable talent.

Frequently Asked Questions About Recruitment in Austria
Find out more about technical sales and engineering recruitment in Austria. Our FAQs explain how Mase Consulting helps employers attract high-performing professionals and supports candidates seeking new opportunities in this fast-growing and diverse market.
We recruit across a wide range of technical sales and engineering positions in Austria, supporting businesses operating in industrial, manufacturing and technology-driven sectors. Our work focuses on commercially aligned, customer-facing technical roles as well as engineering functions that support product development, delivery, installation and long-term customer success.
Our recruitment spans industries including industrial automation, machinery and equipment manufacturing, electrical and power systems, electronics, scientific equipment, flow control, chemicals and process engineering. We support both Austrian-headquartered organisations and international businesses building or expanding teams across Austria and the wider DACH region
Hiring technical professionals in Austria is highly competitive due to a limited talent pool combined with strong demand from established manufacturers, export-led businesses and multinational organisations. Many skilled engineers and technical sales professionals are passive candidates, meaning they are not actively applying for roles and require targeted, relationship-led engagement.
Language expectations also play a role. Many employers require strong German language skills alongside technical expertise, particularly for customer-facing roles. In addition, Austrian candidates often prioritise stability, long-term career progression and company culture, which means rushed or poorly defined hiring processes can lead to drop-off or declined offers.
Our Salary Benchmarking service helps employers hiring in Austria make informed, competitive offers based on real market data rather than assumptions or outdated salary surveys. We provide role-specific benchmarks that take into account location, industry, seniority, language requirements and the competitive landscape within Austria and the wider DACH region.
This allows businesses to align salary expectations early, reduce offer rejections, avoid unnecessary negotiation delays and improve overall hiring success. Salary Benchmarking is included within our Retained Recruitment and Ready-to-Go Talent Acquisition Team models, giving employers the confidence to make hiring decisions that support long-term retention and team performance.
