Verso.
Specialist technical recruitment

We recruit the engineers behind technology most people never see.

We place the people who design and build hard things: RF and microwave, embedded software, FPGA, defence electronics, hardware engineering.

What we cover

Specialists, not a switchboard

No generalists, no keyword-matchers. The person you speak to actually understands what you build.

R&D

Hardware, software and mechanical design: RF and microwave, embedded firmware, FPGA, mechanical engineering.

Technical Sales

Account management and business development, run by people who can actually hold a technical conversation.

How we work

Three ways to hire

Not every hire needs the same process. Pick the one that fits.

You need someone who's still there in three years, not just someone who can start Monday. We look for people who fit the team as well as the spec.

  • Full search and shortlist, not a job-board scrape
  • Cultural fit assessed alongside technical fit
  • Support through offer, counter-offer and start date
Why Verso

Recruitment that actually understands the brief

01

We know the difference

Between a DSP role and an FPGA one, so you're not wading through CVs that don't fit.

02

Specialists, not generalists

Dedicated desks in RF/microwave, embedded and defence electronics.

03

Straight-talking

No inflated shortlists, no ghosting, no jargon for its own sake.

04

Two decades in the sector

Networks built over close to 20 years in electronics and defence.

Real results

Proof, not promises

Numbers and quotes from searches we've actually run, not stock testimonials.
