Why Recruitroo

How Recruitroo helps engineering employers.

Critical Skills routes available

Most engineering roles qualify for Ireland's Critical Skills Employment Permit — faster processing and shorter onboarding.

Visa filing on your behalf

CSEP and UK Skilled Worker applications submitted by our case team. The candidate provides details, data and documents.

Technical screening built in

Structured engineering interviews, portfolio review and reference verification before candidates reach your hiring panel.

Common challenges

Where engineering hiring usually breaks — and what we do about it.

Problem

Niche specialism gets generic CVs

Recruitroo

Targeted search per specialism (controls, structural, instrumentation, etc.) — not a generic engineering pool.

Problem

Chartership / IEng status hard to verify

Recruitroo

Surfaced on candidate profiles + checked during case-readiness.

Problem

Long lead times with traditional agencies

Recruitroo

CSEP-eligible roles move faster — pre-checked routes shorten time-to-start.

How it works

How we hire for engineering.

The same managed workflow every time — recruitment, screening and visa submission all sit with us.

01

Brief & route check

We take the role brief, confirm the visa route, and run case-readiness checks before sourcing starts.

02

Source & shortlist

International sourcing across our pool plus targeted search, presented as a video-evidence shortlist.

03

Screen & verify

Skills demo, references and credentials verified — you only review candidates who've passed the checks.

04

File visa & onboard

We file the visa and immigration application on your behalf, then track relocation and onboarding to start date.

Roles & visa routes

Visa routes that apply to all engineering roles we hire for.

If it sits inside engineering we'll source for it — and we'll match it to the right visa route up-front.

FAQ

Engineering hiring questions

Do most engineering roles qualify for Critical Skills?

Most do, subject to salary threshold and the current eligible occupations list. We check route eligibility against the most recent guidance before recommending a route.

Can you find candidates with chartership / IEng?

Yes — candidate profiles surface chartership and professional registration, and we filter shortlists against your exact requirements.

How does it work for niche specialisms?

We brief on the specialism (e.g. instrumentation, controls, structural) and run a targeted search rather than relying on a generic engineering pool.

Hiring internationally for engineering?

We'll look at the roles, your volume and the right visa route — and recommend whether one-off support or a monthly programme fits.
