WHAT IT IS
Talent acquisition run as a direct search
Automotive Linked fills management and specialist roles the same way we fill executive roles: by direct search, not by advertising and waiting.
From a 35,000+ automotive network we approach engineers, operations managers, supply chain leads and commercial profiles who fit both the needs and the culture of your organisation.
These are the roles where volume recruiters send stacks of CVs. We send a handful of people who can genuinely do the job, each spoken to in depth before you meet them.
You see who we approach, who declines and why, from week one. Searches for management and specialist roles typically run four to eight weeks from intake to shortlist.
Direct search, not job ads
HOW A SEARCH RUNS
From briefing to signature, in four steps
One point of contact throughout, and full visibility on who we approach.
Briefing and profile
We agree what the role really needs, and what the market can realistically deliver at that level.
Direct approach
We approach the people who fit, in confidence, whether or not they are looking for something new.
Shortlist and introduction
A handful of people we have spoken to in depth, with our reasoning and the reasons others declined.
Through to signature
We stay involved through the offer, the notice period and the first weeks on the job.
Across the whole chain
WHICH ROLES
The roles that keep production and delivery moving
Management and specialist positions across the whole automotive and mobility chain.
Engineering and R&D, manufacturing and operations, quality, supply chain and purchasing, sales and account management. At OEMs, at tier one and tier two suppliers, and at mobility scale-ups.
If you are not sure the profile exists in your region at the level and salary you have in mind, a market mapping answers that before the search starts.
