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 European 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 European Tech Recruit team.
