Our Automotive Recruitment Specialisms

We support OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers and technology businesses on hiring for roles that require a strong understanding of the automotive environment. Our recruitment experience covers both established engineering functions and newer areas of vehicle development.

Our work includes engineering and software positions, with automotive software recruitment covering specialist development roles and EV engineering recruitment supporting businesses working on electric vehicle programmes.

Functional Safety Recruitment

Functional safety is a key consideration in automotive development, particularly where software and electronics are involved in safety-critical functions. We have experience hiring professionals in this field, including FUSA engineers and Safety Managers, as well as developers working with safety-critical code. Our automotive software recruitment experience also covers developers working on safety-critical automotive systems.

ADAS Recruitment

ADAS development requires people who understand the technology behind advanced driver assistance systems and how it is applied within vehicle programmes. We support businesses hiring for ADAS projects, matching candidates to the technical requirements of each position.

Autonomous Driving Recruitment

Autonomous driving requires highly specialised technical knowledge. We recruit professionals with experience in areas such as perception and sensor fusion, helping businesses find people suited to the demands of their autonomous vehicle projects. We also support EV engineering recruitment for businesses developing and scaling electric vehicle programmes.

Electric Vehicle Recruitment

The shift towards electric vehicles has created demand for professionals with experience across electric vehicle engineering and related technologies. We support businesses hiring for EV projects, including engineers and software professionals working on the development and integration of electric vehicle systems.

Why Us?

Automotive hiring can change as projects develop, particularly when technical requirements become clearer during development. We take the time to understand what the role involves and the experience needed before starting the search.

Our wider technology recruitment network also gives us access to candidates working across related technical fields. This is useful when a position sits between automotive and another part of the technology market, such as software or embedded systems.

We also consider factors beyond technical experience when discussing candidates, including their motivation for moving and the practical requirements of the role. This helps clients make better-informed decisions before moving forward with an interview.

Recruitment Manager

German Tier 1 Automotive OEM

I had the pleasure of working with Liam while I was on garden leave and looking for a new opportunity in embedded software engineering. He went above and beyond to help me find the job that I aspired to. He was incredibly professional, supportive, and communicative throughout the entire process.

Liam took the time to get to know me and understand my career aspirations, which allowed him to present me with job opportunities that aligned perfectly with my skill set and goals. He was always available to answer my questions and provided valuable feedback and guidance throughout the recruiting process. I highly recommend Liam as an exceptional recruiter for anyone seeking a trustworthy and skilled professional.

C++ Security Engineer

A Tier 1 Automotive Embedded Software Development Company

I have worked closely with various members of the team at Tech Recruit for some time. Their ability to attract top talent goes without saying (and their success speaks for itself) but their ability to establish a cultural as well as a functional fit within NVIDIA is what sets them apart.

They are strong ambassadors for our brand and, with relatively little guidance, they have developed an innate understanding of our core values. This enables them to evangelise without ever resorting to hyperbole. They also understand the need for levity in their profession and have always managed to balance a sense of professionalism with a sense of genuine fun and humour, which is essential in a role that, by necessity, is riddled with complex and protracted processes.

This ethos is not an accident, it is an attitude which is cultivated in every member of the Tech Recruit team.

How quickly can you provide candidates for automotive roles?

The timeframe depends on the role, its technical requirements and the availability of suitable candidates. For specialist positions, we focus on finding relevant candidates rather than setting an arbitrary timeframe for every search.
