In Formula 1 and high-performance cars the race isn’t just on the track—it’s in the workshop, the wind tunnel and the design studio. The difference between pole position and the midfield often comes down to the calibre of the people behind the scenes. But here’s the challenge: the best talent is already taken—and they’re not browsing job boards.

The Hidden Talent War

Whether it’s a senior aerodynamicist in an F1 team or a powertrain specialist in a hypercar programme, the individuals who truly move the needle are rarely looking for their next role. They’re embedded in your competitors’ operations, solving complex problems and pushing boundaries.

Traditional recruitment methods don’t reach them. That’s where Tiro comes in.

• No job ads. No noise. Just targeted conversations with the right people
• Total discretion. Your search remains confidential, protecting your competitive edge.
• Deep industry insight. We know who’s doing what, where and why they might be open to change

Why This Matters

Speed and Precision: You get a curated shortlist of high-impact individuals, not a stack of CVs
