Finding the right engineer for your business can be a difficult task. Whether you need a field service engineer, an applications engineer, or a technical sales engineer, the competition for high-performing individuals in these areas is fierce. That’s where a specialist engineering recruiter can really help.

At Mase Consulting, we know what it takes to unearth industry-leading engineering talent for our clients. 

But what exactly does a specialist engineering recruiter do, and why does it matter?

What Is an Engineering Recruiter?

An engineering recruiter, or a technical recruiter, is a recruitment specialist who knows the engineering sector inside and out. We’re not talking about generalist recruiters who dabble in every industry, this role demands technical know-how, market insight, and the ability to headhunt active and passive talent that could make a huge impact on your business.

From manufacturing and energy, to technology and medical devices, engineering recruiters help businesses identify key individuals, with no guesswork and no wasted time.

Why Use an Engineering Recruiter?

Good engineers don’t hang around on job boards. The best candidates are often in roles already, but could be open to the right opportunity dependent on how it is presented. Great engineering recruiters know where to find them and how to engage them.

Here’s why businesses work with recruiters like us:

  • We know the market: We stay on top of industry trends, salary benchmarks, and what motivates candidates to move. That means we can advise you on what it takes to attract the right people.
  • We cover niche roles: Whether you need a service engineer in the metrology space or a technical sales engineer in flow control, we understand the details of each role and what makes a candidate a great fit.
  • We save you time: Sifting through CVs and interviewing the wrong candidates drains time and resources. We take that off your plate. Every candidate we present has been thoroughly screened and interviewed by us, not just on skills and experience, but on personality and cultural fit too.
  • We build long-term partnerships: We’re not here for a quick win. We focus on building lasting relationships with both clients and candidates to ensure the right fit that delivers consistent results.
