Embedded & Electronics News 📢

Engineering Managers are losing patience with external recruitment companies. Why?

We wanted to find out too, so we went knocking on a few doors… well, emailed the base.😉

The results are staggering – here’s how they responded:

· 19% happy with recruitment companies overall
· 92% think recruitment fees are too high
· 75% believe recruiters don’t understand their requirements properly
· 78% think recruitment processes are too slow
· 80% get too many unqualified CVs and duplicate candidates

….and get this: When asked about their own internal recruitment processes, almost 70% said they were too slow and restrictive. The most common complaints are based around approved suppliers being ‘too limited’, ‘non specialist’ and managers felt unable to use their own hiring methods 👎

In summary, project managers are fed up of waiting months to find the right engineer, wasting time interviewing poor candidates and having to pay a fortune, when the external recruiters eventually find the right engineer.

We’ve all known these issues for years, but even in 2025, with all the technology available, the situation is getting worse. That’s why we built XpertDirect!

XpertDirect is a direct hiring platform designed specifically for tech managers to post their own jobs and let the automated system do the work. Profile cards are standardised, based on ‘primary skills’, ‘industry’ and ‘applications’, so managers can tell, at a glance, who the best candidates are and start chatting instantly (no more CVs). Once they know who they want, they can send them to HR to be added to their own ATS (if required) or continue onboarding directly on XpertDirect. 🚀

There are no placement fees or subscriptions, so a successful placement can cost as little as €67, based on the cost of the original job post (price based on pack of 12 Jobs). There are no additional fees for any of the features (search, match, invite, track, pitch, chat, offer, contracts etc.)

Check it out today by posting your first job free! (no credit cards required).

If you know anyone looking to hire embedded electronics engineers or an engineer looking for a job, please share, comment or like to spread the word.

The bigger the platform, the better the results for everyone. Thanks, and good luck!!!!!
