We back every automation, robotics, controls, and engineering placement for six months — not 90 days. 27+ years UK & US. Register your vacancy.

Hire automation and engineering leaders risk-free.

<div class="cc-lp">We back every technical placement for six months. Not 90 days.<a href="/cm/employers/upload_vacancy?utm_source=linkedin&amp;utm_medium=paid&amp;utm_campaign=6-month-guarantee-q3" class="btn">Register your vacancy</a><a href="/cm/employers/upload_vacancy?utm_source=linkedin&amp;utm_medium=paid&amp;utm_campaign=6-month-guarantee-q3">Or send the brief &mdash; we&rsquo;ll tell you in one page if we can fill it</a><hr />UK &amp; US &middot; Automation &middot; Robotics &middot; Controls &middot; Intralogistics &middot; Advanced engineering &middot; 27+ years<hr /><h2>Why six months</h2>A 90-day guarantee is built for office hiring. A controls engineer, robotics specialist, or technical project manager is not proven in 90 days. They are still learning your line, your vendors, and how the site actually runs.If they are wrong, you find out in months two to five &mdash; after a standard agency has closed the file.Our guarantee: if the candidate leaves or is let go for performance within six months of their first working day, we replace them at no extra fee. Clock starts on day one in the seat.<h2>Proof</h2><ol><li>Six months free replacement &mdash; not 90 days. We underwrite the search through the real ramp, not probation theatre.</li><li>AI to screen. Humans to decide. Speed on mapping and first-pass screening. Judgement stays with people who have recruited this work for 27+ years.</li><li>Specialist niche only. Technical, engineering, manufacturing, warehouse automation, robotics, controls, and intralogistics &mdash; UK and US. Not a generalist CV spray.</li><li>People who have done the work. We send shortlists tested against commissioning, live sites, and real systems &mdash; not keywords on a CV.</li></ol><h2>Who this is for</h2>Hiring managers, engineering directors, ops leaders, and MDs who own a go-live, a production ramp, or a multi-vendor line that cannot slip.If the empty seat is not the risk &mdash; the wrong engineer is &mdash; this is the search.<h2>Short FAQ</h2>Q: What does the six-month guarantee cover? A: If the hire leaves or is let go for performance within six months of day one in the seat, we run a free replacement search.Q: Is this a refund? A: No. It is a free replacement. It stops you paying twice for the search. It does not repay lost velocity &mdash; no honest guarantee does.Q: Do you only recruit in the UK? A: No. UK and US. Same guarantee, both markets.Q: What roles? A: Automation, robotics, controls, intralogistics, manufacturing, and advanced technical/engineering hires &mdash; not generalist office recruitment.<hr /><h2 id="register">Stop worrying about misfires.</h2>Register the vacancy. We will tell you in one page whether we can fill it, and on what timeline.<a href="/cm/employers/upload_vacancy?utm_source=linkedin&amp;utm_medium=paid&amp;utm_campaign=6-month-guarantee-q3" class="btn">Register your vacancy</a>You&rsquo;ll land on our vacancy form &mdash; attach a job spec if you have one.No obligation.
