For clients · the process
From first conversation to first day.
A clear process, built to take the risk out of every hire.
01
A conversation, not a pitch.
A 30-minute discovery call. What has changed, what the role must deliver, and by when. We listen before we recommend anything.
02
Align the brief.
Must-haves, nice-to-haves, and what good looks like in your team. We’re not trying to find you a unicorn; we’re finding the engineer who will succeed in this role.
03
Pick your two.
Every search balances speed, quality and cost-effectiveness. You can optimise two. We agree which two matter for this hire, and plan honestly around the third.
Tap any two corners.
04
Choose your commitment.
Greater commitment brings greater rewards. With Exclusive or Retained, we are not racing other agencies: a larger team focuses on your role, maps the market more widely and brings a better-screened shortlist, so you interview fewer people to make the hire.

05
Priority access to engineers.
We headhunt engineers who are not on the job boards, and we move quickly: speed is what gives you first access to strong engineers, before the open market sees them. Where it helps, candidates arrive MTP Verified.
06
A structured interview process.
Every candidate is screened personally. Every interview has a prep call before it and a debrief after it, with regular updates throughout. A structured process reduces hiring risk: fewer surprises at offer stage.
07
Offer, start and aftercare.
We manage the offer, notice period and start date, then stay in touch through probation. We sell solutions, not time invested: what matters is the right engineer in the seat.

Questions & FAQs
How quickly will we see candidates?
We agree a shortlist target in days at the briefing, based on the role. It is a target, not a promise: if the market says otherwise, we tell you early.
Which model is right for us?
It depends on the hire. We recommend one on the discovery call, tied to your hiring challenge.
Do you only recruit for UK businesses?
No. Our focus is the Hungarian market: permanent and contract engineers for companies based in Hungary, including European businesses with a Hungarian office.
How often are you in Hungary?
Every quarter, with extra visits when clients, candidates or hiring plans need them.
Do you cover contract roles as well as permanent?
Yes, both. Our Contractor model gives you expert project capacity without adding headcount.
How do you assess cultural fit?
Through a detailed briefing, behavioural interviewing and understanding each candidate’s motivations. We learn your values and team before we introduce anyone.
Do you work with start-ups and scale-ups?
Yes, from funded start-ups to large enterprises. On the discovery call we recommend the model that fits where you are.
What makes MTP different?
Speed and priority access to engineers, a structured process that reduces hiring risk, and partnership: we sell solutions, not time invested.
When should we get in touch?
As early as possible, ideally before funding for the role is finalised. We plan backwards from your target start date, so every stage has time.
Do you replace our HR team?
No. We work alongside your HR team, not over it.
As an engineer, do I pay anything?
Never. Candidates are never charged a fee.
See our official Terms of Business for full details.

Thirty minutes. You tell us what you need; we tell you how we would approach it.
