ELTEME (Hellenic Technical Consulting Engineers) is a consulting engineering firm based in Halandri, Greece, with more than 60 years of continuous operation. Founded in 1961, the company has developed an extensive portfolio of design and supervision projects for electromechanical installations across both the private and public sectors, employing between 11 and 50 specialized engineers.
In a company of this nature, every engineer directly enhances production capacity. Mechanical Engineers are responsible for the design and supervision of complex infrastructure and building development projects. Delays in hiring for such roles are not merely operational inefficiencies; they have a direct impact on the company’s ability to take on and deliver projects within agreed timelines.
Challenge
ELTEME needed to fill an associate-level Mechanical Engineer position — a role requiring a strong foundation in mechanical engineering combined with the ability to apply expertise within the specialized field of electromechanical studies for construction and industrial projects.
This profile is not widely available in the labor market. Suitable candidates who meet the requirements of a consulting engineering firm are limited and, in most cases, already employed by competing technical offices or companies in the sector.
For a company of 11–50 employees without an internal HR department, such a search requires structured access to qualified candidates, as well as systematic oversight of the process from the initial screening stage through to final selection.
Solution
We closely monitored every application received by ELTEME through the linq Platform Sourcing, as well as the outreach activities conducted by the company via the platform.
We coordinated all communication with candidates and ensured the availability of CVs where they were missing, facilitating every stage of interaction between the company and applicants.
Within 30 days and from a total of 9 applications, ELTEME successfully identified and hired the right candidate for the Mechanical Engineer role. The process proved effective due to consistent and structured monitoring at every step.
Result
Nine applications within 30 days reflect the reality of the market for specialized mechanical engineering profiles in consulting firms: volumes are low, but the quality of the process determines whether a limited candidate pool leads to the right outcome.
The successful placement of the Mechanical Engineer strengthened ELTEME’s technical capacity, enabling smoother and more efficient execution of its ongoing projects. In a company delivering demanding electromechanical studies for both public and private sector projects, each new engineer directly expands operational capability.
Conclusion
The collaboration with ELTEME confirms a broader reality: linq can effectively support hiring across companies of all sizes, regardless of budget, and within short timelines when the process is closely managed and supported at every stage.
For small companies and SMEs without in-house recruitment expertise, this combination of tooling and advisory support is decisive. It transforms a challenging search with a limited candidate pool into a predictable and reliable outcome.
