Partnering with UK technology and engineering companies to recruit hard-to-find specialists across software, embedded systems, electronics and complex engineering disciplines.
Vertech Group was founded by Rob Haughian, a specialist technical recruiter with more than 20 years of recruitment experience. Today, Vertech focuses on specialist engineering disciplines where technical expertise is scarce and identifying the right people requires a targeted approach. Working directly with engineering leaders and hiring teams, we support recruitment across safety-critical engineering, advanced electronics, embedded systems and other complex engineering disciplines. No account managers, handovers or junior consultants.

No unnecessary steps. No unnecessary people in the middle.
We take time to understand far more than the job description. Alongside the technical requirements, we explore your products, technology stack, engineering challenges, team structure and hiring objectives to build a clear picture of the ideal candidate. This upfront discovery allows us to target engineers with the right technical depth, industry experience and long-term fit.
Using specialist industry knowledge alongside the latest AI-powered search and market mapping tools, we uncover high-calibre engineers that traditional recruitment methods often miss. We actively identify hard-to-find engineering specialists across safety-critical systems, advanced electronics, embedded technology and complex engineering disciplines.
Every candidate is then carefully screened through a structured qualification process. We assess their technical background, technology stack, project ownership, industry experience, communication skills, motivations and career objectives. Rather than relying solely on CV keywords, we evaluate how closely their experience aligns with the specific technical and commercial requirements of the role before presenting a carefully selected shortlist.
Rather than sending a stack of CVs, we present a carefully selected shortlist of engineers who genuinely match your technical requirements. Each profile includes relevant technical expertise, project background, interview insights and our assessment of why they're a strong fit, helping you make faster and more informed hiring decisions.
We manage the recruitment process through interviews, offers, negotiations, counter-offers and onboarding, keeping both client and candidate engaged throughout. Our proactive approach helps reduce drop-outs, minimise delays and ensure a smooth transition from offer acceptance through to a successful start.
Whether you're recruiting within safety-critical engineering, advanced electronics, embedded systems or another complex engineering discipline, Vertech Group combines specialist search with AI-powered market mapping to identify engineers that traditional recruitment methods often miss.
