Tiro has worked in complex aerospace and automotive recruitment since its founding in 2000. One of our key accounts, a major global Tier 1 specialising in safety electronics and control systems, approached us with a challenge. While we typically supported their UK site, this time they needed help with critical resourcing for their German parent company. They were struggling to staff key projects at the systems kick-off stage, placing them at risk of losing out on important OEM business.
The Brief:
- Find an engineer with specific technical knowledge in emerging technology.
- Ensure Tier 1 delivery experience for a major international company.
- Source a candidate with exposure to the German manufacturing market and clients.
- Provide access to the short skills market through our proactive headhunting approach.
- Secure a candidate capable of delivering a full life cycle product to market.
The Challenge:
The role was complex, and the talent pool for such specialists was extremely limited. We needed to target companies already working with the specific technology and delivering to German OEM end users. Additionally, relocation logistics – such as housing, schooling and tax implications – were significant concerns for potential candidates, and managing this became a key part of the project.
The Tiro Solution:
Tiro’s database covers the entire European market, allowing us to pinpoint pockets of highly skilled engineers across the EU. Our approach wasn’t reliant on traditional advertising. Instead, we focused on reaching passive candidates through solid networking and proactive headhunting. The days of “apply and fill” are long gone for roles like this, and we knew that the ideal candidates were likely already in secure positions and not actively looking for new opportunities.
By maintaining constant engagement with great candidates and proactively pooling talent, we were able to quickly respond to this urgent requirement. We identified the right candidates and provided full logistics support, ensuring both technical and cultural fit. We then delivered a strong shortlist of candidates for interviews, leading to offers and successful placements.
Outcome:
In an industry moving at a fast pace, especially in Tier 1 automotive, having the right team in place is critical. Thanks to Tiro’s ability to mobilise recruitment efforts rapidly, we helped our client secure the key talent they needed, allowing them to stay ahead of their competitors and win crucial projects. Our proactive approach ensured no delay in resourcing, giving the client a clear advantage in this competitive landscape.
