Engineering Recruitment

We specialise in recruitment across a range of engineering sectors. Whatever the engineering discipline, we understand how our clients and their needs change with the dynamics of the industries they work in.

Take the electronics sector, for example. The whole market tends to look for one skill set at a time. A few years ago, everyone was looking for digital engineers. Then they were looking for analogue engineers, then RF, then back through analogue and now they're looking for embedded and digital designers again. Once venture capitalists begin to fund more start-ups, we expect the demand for good analogue designers to grow again.

By staying close to each of the engineering markets we recruit for, and understanding the key trends, we stay ahead of our competition and find the right people for the right jobs.

  • Otodynamics
  • Airbus

Spirent

Spirent Communications advances the next generation of communications systems, from design and development, to the delivery of network devices and solutions.

"Austin Fraser have been employed primarily to supply Spirent Communications with contract and permanent engineering design staff for hardware, software and test.  I have found Austin Fraser a pleasure to deal with and we have, over a short period of time, built up a strong working relationship."

Otodynamics

Otodynamics specialises in otoacoustic emissions instruments and is acknowledged as the pioneer and leader in this field.

As a specialist medical devices company, Otodynamics wanted to work with a recruitment consultancy that had a proven track record in its market sector.

“Austin Fraser was very well tuned to our needs. They put forward five candidates for a specialist quality assurance position. The three people we interviewed were able to meet the majority of our requirements so we were delighted to have had an embarrassment of riches from which to select and appoint our new team member.”

Airbus

Airbus leads the world in the design and manufacture of commercial aircraft. The Airbus approach is to ensure that aircraft share the highest possible degree of commonality, which reduces the operating costs for airlines.

Airbus wanted to attract highly talented and experienced engineering professionals driven by a pioneering spirit and a passion for aeronautics.

“The team at Austin Fraser is extremely customer focused. They took a lot of time upfront to understand our business and the requirements of the technical positions that we recruit for. The result is that they can put forward a couple of candidates for a job and we know that they will be a very good fit.

Austin Fraser’s service takes the recruitment burden away from our management team. We simply don’t have time to trawl through hundreds of CVs, which in our experience is what a lot of other recruitment agencies give you. Another thing that we like about their approach is that they are completely honest with us. If we are asking for the impossible, they will tell us rather than promise something that they cannot deliver, which means we can plan accordingly.”
