Why Hire Local Talent in Mexico?
Building Trust
Over 70% of Mexican 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 retingency approach addresses recruitment challenges:
Upfront Costs
Expanding in Mexico often requires a specialist recruiter, but traditional retained models ask for upfront costs before results. With our Retingency service, you get all the benefits of a retained search (dedicated account manager, headhunting, strategy) but only pay when we deliver a successful placement.
No financial risk. No compromise on quality.
Lack of Candidate Insights
When hiring in a new country like Mexico, guessing isn’t an option. That’s why we include behavioural assessments in our process at no extra cost. It gives you deeper insight into how a candidate thinks and works, helping you avoid costly mis-hires and make better decisions, backed by data, not just CVs.
Continuity
Many contingency recruiters focus on volume, not value, especially across borders. We take a different approach. With Retingency, you get a dedicated account manager and a team who have a deep understanding of your industry and goals. We’ll align closely with your needs and deliver culturally and commercially suitable candidates across Mexico.

Frequently Asked Questions About Recruitment in Mexico
Find out more about technical sales and engineering recruitment in Mexico. 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 mid- to senior-level professionals across technical sales, service and engineering functions — including Sales Engineers, Regional Sales Managers, Service Engineers, Applications Engineers, Product Managers and Country/Regional Managers — primarily in manufacturing, automotive, electronics and near-shoring sectors.
Roughly 70% of employers in Mexico report difficulty filling roles even before accounting for niche technical sales/engineering specialisms.
The key reasons:
Near-shoring drives rapid demand for technical and engineering talent, particularly in border states and manufacturing hubs.
There is a shortage of candidates with the combined technical depth and commercial or sales acumen required for technical sales.
Regional disparities (e.g., talent concentrated in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey) mean roles outside major commercial/industrial hubs can be harder to fill.
Language and global exposure can be limitations for candidates in locally-oriented companies aiming for export or multinational scale.
Very competitive. The combination of manufacturing growth, investment in electronics/automotive, and near-shoring means top candidates have multiple options. Employers must offer strong value propositions, clear growth pathways and competitive compensation. The process needs to be efficient to avoid losing talent.
They expect a stable employer, competitive pay, clear career progression and meaningful work. In manufacturing/engineering roles, opportunities for development, international exposure and modern management practices are appealing. Benefits such as training, flexible working (when possible), and recognition matter. Soft skills and modern management are increasingly valued.
Our Salary Benchmarking tool gives up-to-date insights for technical sales and engineering roles in Mexico — helping you understand local pay levels, allowance norms, bilingual premium, near-shoring vs domestic cost dynamics, so you can set competitive offers and avoid losing top candidates.
We manage the full recruitment process from market mapping, targeted headhunting, screening and short-listing to interviews, offer negotiation and onboarding support. Our experience in Mexico’s manufacturing, export and near-shoring sectors ensures you get candidates who meet your technical and commercial needs and align with local labour market realities.
Yes—but they need to adapt to local context (labour law, bilingual requirements, regional mobility). We help international companies set up locally-aware hiring strategies, attract bilingual or export-capable talent, and navigate local expectations around benefits, mobility and career pathways.
