There are times when companies would rather hire new employees than outsource a project. However, hiring engineers and other technical staff is not an easy task:
- Business managers don't have enough free time to read hundreds of resumes;
- HR departments may not have the technical skills to judge whether candidates have the required qualifications;
- Local temp agencies usually only have access to a limited number of applicants.
The chances of finding the perfect fit are slim ...
Thinkpath Engineering Service is uniquely suited to fulfill your technical staffing requirements. With our experience of recruiting the best engineers we help our customers streamline their recruiting process by offering placement services.
Thinkpath Engineering Services
We help our customers with placement services for technical staff, based on our nearly five decades of experience recruiting the best engineers.
Many placement agencies send unqualified candidates. We have the technical knowledge and ability to vet and test candidates and ensure that they have the required skillset for your project's success, and personality to fit into your team.
Our on-site engineering support placements stay for as long as you need. It doesn't matter if you need more staff for a brief time or want an engineer to guide you through lengthy product development—we will find the ideal match. TES can even place an expert to serve as a liaison between your staff and ours.
As an engineering company we are uniquely qualified to handle technical staffing needs
Few staffing agencies follow the logical model of letting an engineer vet the qualifications of an engineering candidate. They may have the systems in place to find technical candidates but are not equipped to find the ideal candidate based on your specific engineering needs.
Engineering is a diverse industry comprised of many subcategories. There are mechanical engineers, quality engineers, process engineers, and electrical engineers, just to name a few. While each title sounds similar, their experiences vary significantly. Since engineering services are our core business, we understand what makes them unique.

TES can also place a person on-site to act as a technical liaison between your staff and someone at one of our locations. A placement firm can't do that because they don’t have an internal engineering department. This hybrid solution is ideal for those who don’t have the time to manage the communication between their engineering department and ours.
When you need to contract an engineer, it's best to talk to people who understand the engineering process. At TES, all of our salespeople are technical and many have engineering degrees. Once we understand your technical needs, we can place an individual who will meet your requirements.
Recruitment for engineering and technical roles
No two engineering projects are the same. What works for one company may not work for another. At Thinkpath Engineering Services we match customers to technical experts who will meet their needs. We specialize in placing the best possible candidate for your engineering and technical roles, including the following specializations:
Our proven placement quality process
A vast network of engineers and technicians
TES is different from a typical staffing firm. First of all we have built and constantly nurture an established network of engineers and technicians across all industries and we are respected members of various professional associations. So when you come to us with a requirement to place an engineer or designer we will not just post a job and go through a stack of resumes. Rather, we start with our extensive database of potential candidates. That is how we find suitable candidates much faster than you could do it yourself.
A thorough screening process
Secondly, we use a detailed and thorough screening process. It includes personal background checks as well as checking references and security clearances. As an engineering firm, we test our candidates on their technology competencies, including CAD software. We have the environment and systems set up, and use a library of standardized tests to make sure we find the right candidate. Where relevant we even work with our customers to create custom tests to truly assess the candidates' capabilities, and where necessary we provide training before we deploy a candidate.
Paying attention to personal qualities
Finally, we pay close attention to matching the personality of the candidate with your company's culture and values. For the long-term success of a placement this is just as important as the engineering capability of the candidate.
Transparency is critical
We will only propose a candidate when we have vetted them thoroughly, and have found a suitable person for your needs. Transparency is critical, so we will communicate any doubts or deficiencies clearly. Our customers appreciate this honesty, which is one reason why we have built an ongoing partnership with so many long-term customers.
Regular check-in after placement
After placing an individual, our team regularly checks in with you to make sure our contract placements are working out and you are satisfied. If you are having any issues then we can often rectify the situation on the spot. Extensive ongoing communication is another core feature of our quality process for placing engineers and technicians in your company.
Qualified placements, guaranteed
At TES, we always put the needs of our customers first. That's why we never place engineers we wouldn't hire ourselves. In fact we often bring contractors on board as employees before we place them in your engineering department. This gives these talented individuals job stability, and our US employees also receive full benefits. Many of our placements return to work in-house at a TES location between contracts.
We firmly believe in the quality of our placement process, and give you the following guarantees:
No Contingency Fees
We require no up-front payments before our placement service starts sending you resumes.
Free replacement
We find a new candidate for free if a placed individual does not work out within 90 days.
Pre-qualified Candidates
We interview and evaluate all candidates before we introduce them to you.
Our staffing placements are some of the top performers in the industry. And unlike other contract employees who tend to jump from job to job, our people stick around for the long haul. After a project ends, we often place the same individual at different customers for several years. Sometimes our customers even choose to hire their contractor at completion, which we allow after six months.
Need an engineer? Let TES find a match
The engineering industry is highly specialized. Without the right background, it's nearly impossible to fill an open position with the right candidate. Instead of settling for mediocrity, let us deliver the best.
TES has been a leader in the engineering industry for nearly five decades. We have an extremely tenured staff and always aim to please our customers. When you come to us for technical staffing placement, we will go above and beyond to locate a great match.
As engineers we are able to test candidates better than other recruiting firms. We use standardized and customized tests using an environment with the CAD software you use, and have the ability to provide additional training to candidates. With our testing environment we make sure we find the right candidate for your needs.
Nervous about hiring a new engineer? Our technical placement services will help you find the right person.
