Joshua Palmer - Design Engineer

Recruiting engineers with the right technical skillsets has always been a challenge however with the ongoing support to any live roles TalentTech continue support our ongoing recruitment campaigns. We were kept fully informed throughout the process, the detail and lines of communications kept us up to speed and we were made fully aware of every stage of the process. In an increasingly difficult to recruit with they overcame this by listening to our requirements, spent time to understand our business. The shortlisted candidates have always been consistently good and it’s a refreshing experience to often have a choice of a strong shortlist, and on occasions we have recruited more than initial requirements due to the quality and depth of the shortlist. We’ve found the TalentTech engineering recruitment team to be knowledgeable, personal and a please to deal with.

Checking in to see how I was getting on, asking me if I needed advice on anything and even after I’d secured the position, I could tell he was genuinely buzzing for me. A top recruiter and a top person to deal with. Highly recommend his expertise.

I’d worked with John, Richard and Lyndsey for a few years, so when I was planning the next move in my career it seemed right to speak with TalentTech. They listened to exactly what I wanted and needed, went away and did their research and then presented me with opportunities that were a good fit. John helped me with interview preparation and organised each step with the company. I got a job which is my perfect fit and I know I will be there for a long time. I hadn’t come across the company before and wouldn’t have known about them without TT’s help and expertise. TalentTech are professional, helpful and knowledgeable in their market!
