Why Specialist SolidWorks Recruitment Matters for UK Businesses

Updated: Jan 20

Hiring the right SolidWorks professionals is critical to delivering successful mechanical design, product development, and manufacturing projects. Whether you need a SolidWorks contractor for a short-term project or a permanent SolidWorks Design Engineer, working with a specialist SolidWorks recruitment agency gives you access to pre-qualified talent with real-world CAD experience. At Solid Talent, we specialise exclusively in SolidWorks recruitment, connecting businesses with highly skilled SolidWorks contractors and SolidWorks Design Engineers across the UK and Europe.


What Is a SolidWorks Recruitment Agency?


A SolidWorks recruitment agency focuses specifically on sourcing, vetting, and placing professionals who use SOLIDWORKS CAD software as their core design tool. Unlike general engineering recruiters, a specialist SolidWorks agency:


  • Understands SolidWorks features, workflows, and certifications

  • Screens candidates for real CAD competency, not just job titles

  • Knows the difference between part modelling, assemblies, surfacing, and PDM

  • Matches engineers based on industry experience (automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, medical, consumer products)


This expertise significantly reduces hiring risk and time-to-hire.
