Tech Headhunting
Specialized search for key technology talent and critical roles
We identify, filter and present high-fit technology candidates for companies that need to fill critical positions with real technical judgment.
VEI offers tech headhunting for roles where speed alone is not enough: you need to understand technical level, product context, company stage and the type of professional who can truly make an impact. That is why every search is approached with business perspective, technology understanding and deeper evaluation than a generalist recruitment process.
This service is especially valuable for difficult-to-fill or high-impact positions across engineering, product, architecture, data and AI. The value is not only in finding candidates, but in defining the role better, filtering intelligently and presenting options with much stronger fit.

Frequently asked questions
What kind of roles do you search for?
Mainly high-impact technology roles: CTOs, Tech Leads, senior engineers, product engineers, architects, AI engineers and other specialized positions.
Do you include technical evaluation in the filtering?
Yes. One of the key differentiators of the service is filtering with technical judgment, not only from a general recruiting perspective.
Do you only work with large companies?
No. It is also a strong fit for startups, SMEs, consultancies or companies making a critical hire and wanting to get it right.
Can you help define the role before going to market?
Yes. In fact, that is often one of the most valuable parts of the process, because many searches fail due to an imprecise role definition.
