The Engineer You Need Isn't Applying to Your Job Posting
Nehez Recruiting, based in Allen Park, MI, specializes in automotive engineering talent placement for HR professionals and hiring managers across Metro Detroit who need results, not resume piles. With over 25 years of industry relationships and a founder who spent 15 years working directly inside the automotive industry, Nehez Recruiting finds the qualified engineers your open roles demand.
Deep Automotive Industry Experience That Drives Better Hires
Most recruiting firms learn about automotive engineering from the outside. Steve Nehez learned it from the inside, spending 15 years working directly in the automotive sector before founding this firm. That firsthand knowledge shapes every search, every candidate conversation, and every placement.
When you work with Nehez Recruiting, you're working with a recruiter who understands the difference between a platform engineer and a body-in-white engineer, who knows the Tier 1 supplier landscape, and who can evaluate a candidate's resume the way a department head would. That depth simply isn't available at a large corporate staffing agency.
Engineering Roles Filled Across the Full Automotive Supply Chain
Nehez Recruiting places technical automotive engineering professionals at salary ranges from $100,000 to $250,000 per year across roles that include:
Vehicle systems and powertrain engineering
Body, chassis, and structural engineering
Manufacturing and process engineering
Quality and validation engineering
Program and product development engineering
Supplier and Tier 1 engineering roles
These aren't generalist placements. Every candidate has been vetted by recruiters formally trained in automotive engineering disciplines by a credentialed mechanical engineer.
Boutique Recruiting Built for Precision, Not Volume
Large agencies send you 500 resumes and call it service. Nehez Recruiting operates differently. As an independently owned boutique firm, the team contacts roughly 2,500 engineers per week on behalf of clients, reaching passive candidates who aren't browsing job boards and aren't responding to your postings.
You receive real-time feedback: candidate population data, salary benchmarks, industry response rates, and strategic hiring consulting. Every search is handled with complete confidentiality for both the client company and the candidate. You don't need more applicants. You need the right engineer.
