Why Motorsport Requires a Different Kind of Headhunter — And Why We Work When You Do Not

In Formula One, IndyCar, NASCAR, WEC and the wider global motorsport industry, the work never really stops. Engineers, technical leaders and hiring managers often operate under intense pressure, long hours and demanding race calendars. Traditional 9–5 recruitment simply doesn’t fit the rhythm of the sport — and that’s exactly why our approach is different.

 

We Work Around Your Schedule — Not Ours

As a dedicated motorsport headhunting business, we know that the best conversations often happen outside standard office hours.

That means early mornings before the garage opens, evenings after debriefs, or weekends when you finally have a moment to breathe.

Whether you’re trackside, in the wind tunnel, travelling, or deep into a build programme, we make ourselves available to talk when you’re not under pressure.

 

Supporting Engineers and Teams Based in the UK, Europe & USA

Motorsport doesn’t sleep — and neither do we.

For our UK and European engineers and hiring managers, we’re available during evenings and weekends, recognising that the most productive and candid conversations often happen outside the pressure of the working day.

With many of our clients and candidates also operating across the United States, we regularly hold conversations when the UK is fast asleep. Whether you’re in Charlotte, Indianapolis, Austin or Daytona, we adapt to your time zone so that you don’t have to adapt to ours.

 

A Flexible, Proactive, Consultative Service

What sets us apart from standard recruiters is simple:
we operate with the same flexibility, intensity and precision that defines motorsport itself.

  • Proactive outreach to the industry’s top engineering talent
  • Confidential conversations at times that suit you
  • Deep technical understanding of motorsport engineering roles
  • Consultative partnership with teams and hiring managers
  • International availability, across UK, Europe and the USA

We understand the culture, the pace and the confidentiality that motorsport demands — and we deliver a service to match.

 

If you are an experienced motorsport engineer considering a confidential discussion about a potential move to another team — we’re here, whenever works for you.

 

If you are a hiring manager needing a discreet, strategic conversation about adding talent to your team — we’re available, day or night.
