You’ve put in the hard work. You’ve earned your engineering degree. Now comes the next challenge: finding that first real step into your career.

Here’s the reality — graduate recruitment can feel like a battlefield. For every role you apply for, there are hundreds of other talented graduates doing the same. Many people think that applying to as many roles as possible online increases their chances. But the truth is… everyone else is doing that too.

So, how do you stand out?
Simple — be strategic, be visible, and partner with a specialist head-hunter.

Why Working with a Head-Hunter Works

Insider Access Before Roles Go Public
Specialist head-hunters know their clients inside out. We’re often aware of upcoming vacancies before they’re advertised — meaning your CV can reach the right people before your competition even knows the opportunity exists.

We Open Doors Others Can’t
We don’t just wait for jobs to appear — we proactively approach your employers of choice on your behalf. Many top engineering roles are filled through quiet introductions, not online ads.

Your CV, Expertly Engineered
We know what hiring managers look for. We’ll help you craft a standout CV that highlights the technical and personal strengths employers value most — so you never get overlooked for missing details that matter.

Beyond the Job Offer — Our Ongoing Support

Landing your first role is just the beginning. At Tiro, we stay with you every step of the way:

We help you research relocation options and find the best places to live.
We keep in touch to ensure your transition into work goes smoothly.
Many of our clients offer graduate communities and regular social events — giving you the support network to thrive, not just survive.
And we’ll continue checking in because your success and happiness matter to us.

Solutions driven
recruitment

In today’s market, finding the right talent requires more than just posting a job advert. Scarcity of specialised skills and competition for top talent means recruitment has become increasingly complex. Tiro thrives in this space, using tailored recruitment strategies to connect businesses with the hard-to-find individuals who make a real difference.

We offer results without compromise by combining deep industry knowledge with access to “passive” candidates i.e. people not actively looking for a career change. People that are good at what they do, tend to be happy in their roles, and it is these high calibre individuals that could be perfect fit for your company. Partnering with Tiro gives you best-in-industry talent reach and confidence that every hire is the right one. The result? A recruitment process that saves time, reduces risk, and ensures the best people are placed at the heart of your company’s future.

Finding your hiring process is limiting candidate quality? Talk to Tiro today to find a solution to deliver the talent your business needs.
