A specialist boutique recruiter for technical sales roles in engineering, manufacturing and industrial technology.

What that means in practice

Role understanding comes first.

Every assignment starts with the role or business requirement — what the hire needs to achieve, for whom, and in which market. From there we explain how we identify candidates, how we assess them, what your recruitment options are, what it costs, and how we support you through to offer and acceptance.

Our work is deliberately narrow and deliberately deep. Because we recruit only technical sales roles for these sectors, the questions we ask — and the evidence we look for — are specific to selling technical products and solutions.

How we work with you

Clear boundaries, stated up front.

You will always know what our service covers and what it does not. Our assignments run from the brief to offer and acceptance, and the employment relationship remains yours throughout.

• Our service begins at the brief and ends at offer and acceptance.
• The candidate is employed by your business, under your employment arrangements.
• You arrange employment terms, remuneration and the day-to-day working relationship.
• We distinguish clearly between candidate-reported information, our own assessment and independently verified information.
• We make no universal shortlist-deadline promise — the right candidates take the time the brief requires.
• ETS does not recruit software roles.
