Recruiting FAQ

What makes Jumpstart Robotics different from other recruitment agencies?

We are a niche recruiter specializing in the robotics industry. We focus on building teams, not just filling roles. At Jumpstart, we understand the importance of a cohesive team with shared values and missions.

How does Jumpstart Robotics ensure a good fit between the candidate and the company?

We take the time to understand both the candidate and the company. We look beyond just skills and qualifications, considering your company's culture, values, and mission. This approach helps us ensure that we're not just placing individuals in roles, but building a team that can drive success.

What types of roles can Jumpstart Robotics help fill?

We can help fill a wide range of roles in the industry. We've placed everyone from Controls Engineers to Robotics Engineers, from interns to scientists. Whether you're looking for a part-timer, a contractor, or a full-time employee, we will help find the right fit.

What is Fractional Recruiting?

Fractional Recruiting is a service we offer for businesses planning to hire four or more people in a year. Instead of hiring a full-time recruiter, you can use our expertise to steadily grow your team with the right talent, saving both time and resources.

What does it mean to have a team of "Elite Engineers"?

Our Elite Engineers are top-tier professionals who are recognized as the best in their field. They are peer-reviewed and recommended for their high level of expertise, knowledge, and soft skills. These engineers are the ones everyone wants on their team!

How do you manage to find the right match, especially for niche roles?

We leverage years of experience and industry knowledge to find the right match. We have a broad network and a strong understanding of the industry, which allow us to match the right talent to the right team, even for niche roles.

How do you ensure the technical proficiency of your candidates?

At Jumpstart, we understand the importance of technical proficiency. To ensure our candidates meet your specific technical requirements, we offer coding challenges and technical interviews for an added fee where our technical team validates a candidate's technical skills and knowledge before recommending them to your team.

How do you handle confidentiality during the recruitment process?

Confidentiality is of utmost importance. We respect the privacy of both our clients and our candidates and adhere to strict privacy policies and procedures to ensure that all information shared remains confidential.

What is the typical timeline for a placement?

The timeline can vary depending on the complexity of the role and the specifics of the search. However, we always strive to provide timely and efficient services without compromising on the quality of candidates.

How do you ensure that the candidates I'm interested in are not shared with my competitors?

While we recruit for similar positions across different companies, our focus is always on finding the right fit for each specific company. This means that even if the job titles are the same, the ideal candidate for each company can be different, given the unique requirements and culture of each organization. Rest assured, our goal is to find the best individual for your team, not just any qualified candidate.

Will you hire talent away from my team?

We firmly believe in cultivating lasting relationships built on trust and respect. Therefore, we will never actively attempt to hire talent away from your team. However, we cannot control if members of your team apply independently for jobs in my network. In such cases, we respect the individual's right to explore new opportunities. Our primary goal is to support your team's growth and success.

Do you use AI in your recruitment approach?

We believe in the power of a personalized, human-centered approach in the recruitment process. Therefore, we do not use AI in my recruiting techniques. We understand that each candidate and each company is unique, and feel that these nuances can't be captured accurately by AI. Our focus is on understanding individual needs and aspirations and matching them with the right opportunities, which we believe is best done through human interaction and professional judgment.

Are there any roles that Jumpstart Robotics does not hire for?

We specialize in filling a wide range of roles within the robotics industry, there are certain positions we will not recruit for. Whether or not we can assist in filling a position depends on your needs and our working relationship. In a Fractional Recruiting arrangement, we are able to offer a broader range of services and support for diverse roles. Please get in touch to discuss your specific needs.
