What automotive and mobility roles do you recruit?

Autonomy, perception and mapping software engineers, functional safety engineers, software test (SDET), solutions engineers, controls and manufacturing engineers, and engineering, operations and commercial leadership.

Have you recruited for autonomous vehicle companies?

Yes. For an autonomous vehicle company, we delivered more than 800 pre-screened engineers over about a year. About half reached a first interview, 40 to 50 advanced to later-stage interviews, and about 10 were hired into specialized software and safety roles.

Do you recruit for automotive suppliers and manufacturing?

Yes. Our automation and controls practice recruits controls, automation and manufacturing engineers, plant leadership and engineering directors for integrators and manufacturers that build and run production lines.

Which engagement model fits an automotive or mobility company?

Retained search for Director, VP and C-suite roles. Subscription Sourcing for ongoing engineering hiring at a predictable monthly cost.

Do you only recruit in Michigan?

No. Bespoke Placement Group is based in Brighton, Michigan and recruits for clients nationwide.

Results

A year of engineering recruiting for an autonomous vehicle company.

Autonomous driving has little depth of niche, project-based experience, so the candidates had to be found, not waited for. Over about a year, we delivered more than 800 pre-screened engineers. About half reached a first interview, 40 to 50 advanced to later-stage interviews, and about 10 were hired into specialized roles across autonomy software, mapping tools, active sensing, functional safety, software test and solutions engineering.
