Specialist recruiters for engineering teams that ship.

Velcotech exists because the hardest engineering hires shouldn’t be left to generalist agencies. We’re a focused partner built around deep technical understanding, fast execution, and zero fluff.

Our Story

Built by engineers, for engineering teams.

Velcotech was founded with a simple observation: most recruiting processes fail not because the candidates don’t exist, but because the people doing the sourcing don’t speak the language of the role.

Our team has worked inside semiconductor, embedded, and product engineering organizations. We know what an RTL designer looks like at the whiteboard — and what a great one looks like on a take-home assignment. That perspective shapes every shortlist we deliver.

Today, we help startups, scale-ups, and established technology companies across India and beyond build and scale engineering teams in five core domains — with the speed, precision, and seniority that modern hardware and product teams require.

Principles

How we operate.

Specialization over scale

We're not trying to be the biggest. We're trying to be the best in five engineering domains — and earn the right to grow from there.

Speed with substance

Fast shortlists matter, but not at the cost of quality. We optimize for both — and measure ourselves on both.

Candidate respect

Engineers are busy, and their time is valuable. We communicate clearly, set expectations honestly, and never ghost.

Hiring-team partnership

We're an extension of your team, not a vendor. Expect collaboration, not hand-offs and invoices.

Outcome-based pricing

You pay for hires that stay, not for résumés we sent. Replacement guarantees come standard.

Long-term view

We build relationships across hiring cycles. Most of our clients engage us again within 12 months.

Why startups choose us

Built for the realities of early-stage hiring.

We understand what it's like to be a Series A hardware startup with a critical RTL role open for 90 days, or a seed-stage AI team that needs a founding engineer who can write production code on day one.

Our process is designed for lean teams — fast, transparent, and adaptable. We adjust to your interview style, your stack, and the realities of your hiring budget.

Lean-friendly pricing

Engagement models designed for early-stage budgets — not enterprise retainers.

Founding-role specialists

We know how to find the first 10 engineers — they're a different search than hiring #50.

Equity-aware compensation

We help calibrate offers across cash + equity, not just base salary.

Founder-direct access

You talk to senior recruiters, not a rotating cast of junior sourcers.

Let's talk about your next hire — or your next role.

Whether you're scaling a team or exploring a career move, we'd love to hear from you.
