How deveritec GmbH hired a Senior FPGA Digital Design Engineer in 6 weeks on juucy

deveritec GmbH is a young company, which offers Development Services in the area of Embedded Software & Hardware, Embedded Systems and IoT.

• Highly Specialized Skillset: The role demanded deep expertise in FPGA/ASIC digital design, RTL development, and verification — a niche talent pool with limited availability in Germany.
• Experience Level Requirement: Candidates needed multiple years of hands-on experience, making junior applicants unsuitable and further narrowing the market.
• Hybrid, Location-Bound Role: While some home office was possible, candidates had to be based in or near Dresden — relocation willingness was limited among top-tier engineers.
• Bilingual Expectations: Fluency in English was a must, but solid German skills (B-level or higher) were equally important due to the team and project setup.
• Technically adept & open to customer contact: We were looking for a person who is technically strong and hands-on, but at the same time open and communicative and not afraid to get in direct contact with customers
• Cultural Fit & Collaboration: deveritec values proactive ownership and cross-functional teamwork. Identifying candidates who combined deep tech skills with the right interpersonal traits was a critical challenge.

• Deep Role Immersion: A juucy project manager worked closely with deveritec’s hiring team initially to understand the highly technical requirements, company culture, and hands-on expectations for the role.
• Curated Recruiter Activation: Juucy selected and onboarded multiple niche recruiters from its marketplace with proven track records in embedded systems and hardware engineering placements across Germany.
• Targeted Passive Sourcing: Instead of waiting for applicants, recruiters engaged passive candidates through personalized outreach, focusing on profiles with relevant FPGA/ASIC experience and German language proficiency.
• Location & Language Filtering: All candidates were pre-screened for proximity to Dresden or willingness to relocate, along with B2+ German and C-level English skills — ensuring only viable profiles reached deveritec.
• Accelerated Delivery: The first qualified applications were delivered within 6 days, enabling a fast and structured interview process without sacrificing quality.
• Successful Placement in 6 Weeks: The ideal candidate was hired in just 6 weeks — faster than industry benchmarks — with minimal internal effort required from deveritec’s team.
