Our Testing & Development team has an extensive network of clients and candidates across software engineering and test automation. We place engineers who write production code and the people who keep release cycles short without quietly accumulating debt.
Because our consultants work in these markets daily, they know the candidates, the salaries and the realistic timelines before a search starts. Most senior engineers we place were not looking for a role when we first spoke to them; they came through relationships built over years.
Market insight
Test and development engineers are a broad group that moves more than architects, but the experienced ones rarely apply. Automation puts entry-level roles under pressure, while demand holds for engineers who build test automation into the delivery pipeline. Rotterdam is relatively strong in testing. Most senior engineers change jobs after a direct conversation, not after reading an ad. Describe the codebase, the release rhythm and the quality bar, and approach engineers by what they have built.
