ENGINEERING RECRUITMENT
Engineers Who Can Actually Do the Job
Engineering recruitment is not about matching a few technical keywords on a CV.
Marshall Harmony helps engineering and manufacturing businesses across the West Midlands and UK find technical professionals who understand the work, the environment and what the role needs to achieve.
WHY MARSHALL HARMONY
Technical Recruitment Built Around the Role
A Design Engineer, Project Engineer and Maintenance Engineer may all sit under “engineering”, but the skills, pressures and experience behind each role are very different.
We take the time to understand the technical requirement, the business and the problem behind the vacancy before we start searching.
That gives us a clearer brief, a more focused engineering talent search and better conversations with the people we approach.
Around
60% of the candidates we speak to are not on the open market, so our search goes beyond incoming applications and job boards.
“Laura took the time to really understand what I was looking for in a role. A very honest account of the position and company she was recruiting for, which is very refreshing.”
