Specialist recruitment services for engineering-led businesses
Hiring in technology and engineering isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some roles need fast execution. Others require deep market coverage, discretion and sustained focus.
Octagon Group provides recruitment services manufacturing and engineering teams rely on when quality, speed and delivery confidence matter. From permanent and contract hiring to retained search and embedded delivery, our services scale based on the role, not a generic process.
What we do
Engineering recruitment, delivered properly
We support organisations across the full hiring lifecycle, offering:
Permanent engineering recruitment for long-term capability building
Contract recruitment engineering for project delivery, urgent gaps and specialist skills
Executive search engineering for senior and leadership roles
Retained search engineering for high-impact or hard-to-hire positions
Embedded recruitment process outsourcing for teams needing ongoing hiring support
Whether you need people in permanent engineering roles, contractors or senior leaders, our focus is always the same:
people who can deliver in your environment.
How we work
A delivery model designed to reduce risk
In every sector we serve, talent gaps slow roadmaps, delay launches and weaken operational performance. Our service model is designed to change that.
Consultants specialise in a technical vertical
Searches are market-led, not job-board-led
Shortlists prioritise delivery capability, not CV density
Communication, reporting and pace are built into the process
Most agencies send CVs. We solve hiring problems.
Recruitment service packages
Not every role requires the same level of focus. Our engineering recruitment service packages reflect how much delivery intensity and priority a role needs.
Each package is built around a single focus job, with increasing time allocation, resources, reporting and tools as you move up tiers.
