ABOUT MATCHTECH Established in 1984, Matchtech has a history of delivering successful recruitment solutions within engineering and is the UK’s number one engineering recruitment specialist. 

Our 300-strong team of dedicated recruitment consultants work with business clients and candidates alike to find high-quality, long lasting pairings that help fulfil the ambitions of all involved. We provide recruitment services across core engineering sectors including aerospace, automotive, energy, infrastructure and maritime.  We also offer specialist recruitment within the growing field of engineering technology. 

Our goal is to always exceed the expectations of our clients and candidates by providing the highest quality service possible. We are passionate about the niche markets we service and are keen to raise the profile of engineering by sharing our knowledge and insight of the industry. That’s why we are affiliated with key industry partners and regularly lead and participate in initiatives to help the industry progress. 

OUR GOAL IS TO ALWAYS EXCEED THE EXPECTATIONS OF OUR CLIENTS AND CANDIDATES BY PROVIDING THE HIGHEST QUALITY SERVICE POSSIBLE. 

HOW WE CAN HELP As specialist recruiters in engineering, we understand the challenges organisations face in attracting the very best talent. The reputation we have built within our specialisms has seen us work with clients developing next generation interiors, complex systems and airframe modifications in aerospace, through to automotive clients working on hybrid and electrical propulsion systems and supercar development in the automotive industry. 

Through the relationships we have built over the years we have developed a deep understanding of the markets we operate in. At the heart of our capability is the ability to identify candidates who would not normally be accessible by using internal or passive sourcing techniques such as advertising and database selection.

1. CONSULTATION & COLLABORATION

In order to provide the best results, we work closely with our clients to understand their business, its challenges, culture and future business goals. This enables us to identify the type of candidate that would be suitable; including the skills, experience and qualifications required to fulfil their requirements.

2. TALENT SEARCH & SOURCING

Finding and attracting the right candidate requires market knowledge, a deep industry network and a combination of traditional sourcing techniques. With over 30 years’ recruitment experience within engineering, we have established relationships with board directors and senior executives across a range of industries and functions. As a starting point, we look to identify and compile a target list of companies that have a similar or complementary business model to our client’s and map their organisational charts to identify those candidates relevant for the assignment.

3. CANDIDATE ATTRACTION & EVALUATION

Once we have identified potential candidates, we will approach them to gauge their interest in the role. Suitable and interested candidates will be invited to undertake a thorough competency-based interview, qualifying their skills, knowledge, abilities and aptitude to ascertain their suitability. We will then compile a shortlist of highly–relevant, qualified candidates.

4. REPORTING

Having appraised and interviewed suitable candidates, a shortlist will be presented in a candidate assessment report detailing our valuation of their suitability for the position. The report will include the following:

• external verification of the candidate’s achievements,

previous experience, past performance and reputation

• evidence of their qualifications

• personality profile

• our considered assessment of their

suitability for the role.
