Who we work with

Two sides of the same market, and we are straight with both.

Most agencies treat candidates as inventory and clients as invoices. We do neither. The whole business depends on both sides trusting what we tell them.

For candidates

Compensation discussed early.

On posted roles we put base and OTE ranges in the listing. In conversation we aim to confirm client, territory and compensation expectations before you invest time in a process that was never going to fit.

If a role or band is not workable for you, we say so and stop rather than running a long loop to reach the same answer.

Sector focus

Automation, instrumentation and flow control — searches where technical credibility matters on the plant floor.

Nobody is a résumé wall

You get a short slate with a reason attached to each name, not twenty forwarded PDFs and a hope that one sticks.

Confidential by default

Nothing moves without your say-so. Your current employer never learns you spoke to us.

Straight contact

Employer enquiries go to Philipp directly by email or booking link — not a pooled inbox on the employer side.

Markets

Where we recruit

Deep in a narrow band of industrial manufacturing — which is why our calls get returned.

01

Factory Automation

Sensors, machine vision, industrial connectivity, safety and control components.

02

Process Instrumentation

Flow, level, pressure and analytical measurement into refining and petrochem.

03

Flow Control & Valves

Control valves, isolation valves, actuation and the EPC project cycle.

04

Robotics & Motion

Industrial robotics, motion control, drives and the integrators around them.

05

Electrical & Power Distribution

Switchgear, power quality, industrial electrical distribution.

06

Systems Integration

Integrators and distribution partners who carry the line into the plant.

The search

How a search actually runs

No black box. You know what is happening at every stage, and so does the candidate.

  1. 01

    Scoping call

    Territory, product line, control architecture, the real comp band. We ask what the last person in the seat got wrong, because that is usually the brief.

  2. 02

    Market map

    We name the companies and the people inside them. You see the map before we approach anyone, so you know the search is grounded in your market and not a job board.

  3. 03

    Direct approach

    Confidential outreach to people who are performing where they are. The strongest sales engineers are not applying to anything — they are being called.

  4. 04

    Technical qualification

    We test the engineering, not just the resume. Every candidate arrives with one number they can defend and an application story that holds up.

  5. 05

    Shortlist and close

    A slate you can act on, then we work through offer, counter-offer and notice period with both sides.

Industrial technical sales
Searches focus on automation, process instrumentation and flow control — the product lines where the sale still depends on plant-floor credibility.
The map before the approach
You see the named companies and people we intend to approach before we contact anyone. The search is grounded in your market, not a job board.
Compensation on posted roles
Each role under Open roles includes base and OTE ranges in the listing today. Confidential searches that are not posted are agreed in conversation.
