What our clients say
“We turned to STEM Connex during a major ramp-up on a project that exceeded our team’s capacity.
I needed to recruit a significant number of experienced Electrical QA/QC professionals within a tight timeframe. Crucially, they had to be flexible and willing to work on rotational assignments across Europe.
STEM Connex were incredibly responsive throughout the process. As we refined the candidate profile, they took feedback on board immediately; I never had to repeat myself.
Their approach was highly consultative, and they consistently went above and beyond what I’d expect from a contingency recruitment partner. I wouldn’t
hesitate to recommend STEM Connex as a truly first-rate agency.”

“I had a strict policy of no agency usage as we’re a pre-series A seed-funded company, and I wanted to keep a tight budget.
Bruce convinced me to give them a try, offering very reasonable fees compared to market rates, and doing an incredible amount of research in a short time to learn about our very niche industry (Transfer Pricing).
With a bit of calibration, I was receiving excellent candidates for two very complicated roles, including a Machine Learning AI Engineer.
Throughout the whole process, I was extremely impressed with the level of communication and service provided, the flexibility offered and the quality of people coming through to me. STEM Connex go above and beyond any other agency I’ve used previously in the past 10 years of startup hiring and I would HIGHLY recommend any startup looking for agency assistance to give
them a go.”
