Engineering Manager

7 Sensing Software

We first started speaking with USA Tech Recruit regarding the Samsung android voice assistant (a voice-powered digital assistant for the Samsung Galaxy range) project with very aggressive ramp up figures of 0 to 190 across 3 major sites – Munich, Paris and Milan. The offices were ready, the project was starting imminently but there were only a few engineers onsite or secured.

We interviewed 192 qualified CVs from USA Tech Recruit, placing 55 consultant SW engineers and technical leaders across all sites. They quickly became the programs lead supplier (No.1 of 25 globally).
USA Tech Recruit were able to use all their recruiters to service our needs, accessing their full delivery capability across the whole company as one unit, and using one point of contact as an Account Manager.
The consistent quality of the candidates sent meant we were able to staff phase 1 of the project within 2-3 months, placing entry or experienced engineers and technical leaders all on freelance/contract. USA Tech Recruit managed the end-to-end solution including compliance in all three countries.

We found working with European Tech Recruit simple and transparent. We had one dedicated Account Manager for everything, including CVs, arranging interviews, and delivering offers. He was available at round the clock (including weekends) to assist with any issue that came up. European Tech Recruit were able to work to extreme deadlines, working as a partner rather than an agency, staffing all areas including NLP, NLU, ASR and TTS. In addition, at times we asked them to search for translators with no real technical ability and they still produced quality candidates that are still working with us now.
European Tech Recruit produced more quality applicants than any other agency on this program and now we continue to work closely with Ian and his team with our other projects (including APAC region) as we trust they can deliver, and we look forward to a long and fruitful continued relationship with them.

Thank you European Tech Recruit for being a partner.

I had the pleasure of working with Liam while I was on garden leave and looking for a new opportunity in embedded software engineering. He went above and beyond to help me find the job that I aspired to. He was incredibly professional, supportive, and communicative throughout the entire process.

He was always available to answer my questions and provided valuable feedback and guidance throughout the recruiting process.
