Specialist Technical Recruitment without the bullsh*t
Who We Are
The Substance
Engineering People specifically services the engineering and technical industries. Our team is dedicated to providing you with the right people for your business needs. Our end results are satisfied clients as well as safe and secure candidates.
Our recruitment methodology was developed in 2003 to overcome the issue of clients finding that some people sent to them did not have the hands-on technical skills required to hit the ground running. From this, came a fully equipped and purpose-built workshop, electronics station and engineering suite, to complete a hands-on assessment with every candidate.
We know the industry - it is where our consultants come from. The Manufacturing, Automotive, Service, Maintenance, Construction, and Viticulture industries.
Coupled with hands-on experience in Boilermaking, Electrical, Fitting & Turning, Engineering, and HR, we have an intrinsic understanding of the roles we recruit, and this helps us form a close working relationship with our clients and candidates.
Why Partner With Us
We offer you a completely customised recruitment process, where we work on a partnership model with you.
We visit you, walk through your business and ask you questions to ensure we understand what you need, not just what you want. We identify the skill sets required to do the job on an engineering or technical level.
Our value to you providing candidates with an analysis of their strengths and weaknesses up front before they start. Our candidates come with a skills guarantee, based on your requirements. What does that mean for you? There's immediate productivity, less frustration, less training time, and reduced risk due to our hands on health and safety assessments.
We are honest, ethical, direct, and technically-focussed. We don't waste your time - we don't send you CVs. We send you ready to work employees.

Engineering Recruitment
We recruit engineers across all disciplines using a tailored recruitment solution.
We utilise industry tools and software in the interview to assess our candidates in real time.
For example we use SolidWorks, Inventor, AutoCad and Revit to assess each candidate's competence in design, drafting and engineering knowledge.

Our tradespeople are assessed in our workshop across a range of areas including
- Welding & fabrication
- Diagnostic assessment of: motors, gearboxes, hydraulics, pneumatics, pumps, valves, and instrumentation

We employ the tools of the trades.
