Roadmap-critical engineers — matched to your real execution gaps, not just your job descriptions.

It often feels like we’re inside your engineering meetings — and that’s intentional.
Engineering leaders don’t work with Meed because we “send candidates.”
They work with us because our system cuts through the noise and goes straight to what actually slows progress:
Traditional filters miss these signals entirely.
When we present an engineer, it’s not about keywords or resume alignment.
It’s about whether they can remove the one constraint your roadmap is sitting on.
That’s why our outreach breaks through.
That’s why technical leaders respond.
That’s why conversations with Meed feel different.
We do not translate your spec.
We reveal what your spec can’t say out loud — and deliver the engineer who’s already solved it elsewhere.
🏆 Impact Over Availability
Every introduction has proven, repeatable execution — not résumé theater.
🔇 No Noise
No volume. No spam. Only bottleneck-aligned introductions.
⏩ Ahead of the Market
We surface engineers far before they appear in active pipelines.
🎯 Founder-Led Precision
Every engagement is strategic, technical, and tailored to your roadmap.

Every high-performing deep-tech team depends on one type of engineer:
Player A — the Operator.
Not loud.
Not polished.
Not interview-performative.
But exact.
They stabilise brittle systems.
They see failure modes early.
They unblock ten people without saying a word.
They are the single highest-leverage individual in the organization —
and also the most frequently screened out by standard hiring processes.
HR screens favor charisma.
Engineering velocity requires precision.
This is where roadmap momentum quietly dies.
Meed is built around Player As.
We identify them.
We map their proven constraint-solving to real friction.
We prepare them to communicate clearly.
We present them as solutions, not applicants.
This is why our hires compound velocity, not headcount.

Teams rarely fail because of strategy.
They fail because the bottleneck stays unaddressed.
When critical roles go unfilled or misaligned:
At Meed, we surface and resolve engineering gaps before they derail velocity.
We do not chase active applicants.
We surface elite passive engineers already delivering impact — engineers other firms will never access.
Through signal-driven sourcing, bottleneck alignment, and founder-led narrative positioning, Meed prevents friction from becoming structural.


Deep-tech teams want elite Turkish engineers.
But most never meet them.
Here’s why:
Top-tier engineers aren’t browsing job boards.
They’re buried in high-stakes delivery, solving real constraints.
Many Player A engineers under-express their impact — and get underestimated.
Turkish engineering culture values precision and loyalty.
This rarely translates through Western interview filters.
Without narrative framing, even excellent engineers appear risky — so hiring managers pass.
How Meed Closes the Gap
We don’t wait for applicants.
We identify the engineers driving momentum right now — then prepare them to be fully understood and trusted.
Our process ensures:
With Meed, you don’t meet candidates.
You meet solutions.
Don’t let the right engineer stay invisible — Request a Precision Briefing.

Most recruiters follow the spec:
keywords → titles → years of experience → “close enough.”
But engineering teams don’t fail because the spec was off.
They fail when nobody solves the friction.
Meed flips the logic:
Candidate-led.
Bottleneck-aligned.
Judgment-driven.
We know the real blockers are buried under NDAs, sprint pressure, and sanitized job descriptions.
Most teams cannot publicly admit what’s failing.
“Not the right fit” is often code for:
“They can’t fix the thing we can’t disclose.”
We translate your execution reality — not your job description — into a talent strategy.
That’s why we deliver engineers who’ve already fixed it — before they ever meet you.

Engineering leaders sometimes ask if their internal TA teams can replicate our model.
The answer is structurally no — and here’s why:
Your teams cannot publicly disclose the failure modes, roadmap risks, or architectural friction behind hiring needs.
Meed operates externally, allowing us to read signals and match engineers without exposing confidential vulnerabilities.
Admitting internal execution gaps carries political and investor risk.
Teams default to sanitized job descriptions — which hide the very problem they need solved.
Meed exists outside your reporting chain, which gives us the freedom to diagnose friction and deliver a fix without internal consequences.
Passive Player A engineers do not enter your sourcing funnels.
They don’t apply.
They don’t promote themselves.
They’re invisible to internal systems.
We’ve built a model specifically to surface them.
Internal teams present CVs.
We present solutions, framed in the language engineering leadership uses to make roadmap decisions.
This is the difference between more profiles and the right engineer.

We deliver engineers who’ve already solved what’s slowing you down.
While others fill funnels, Meed fixes friction. We connect high-growth teams to roadmap-critical engineers who solve real-world bottlenecks—not just match resumes.

Most recruitment agencies are incremental. They optimize what already exists: more candidates, faster sourcing, better filters.
Meed wasn’t built to scale the crowded. It was built to serve the overlooked—teams stuck behind engineering friction that slows innovation.

We don’t recruit to spec. We match engineers to the silent friction behind missed deadlines, unscalable systems, and fragile velocity. Because behind every failed sprint or delayed roadmap is a gap no job description can articulate.

We don’t pitch candidates. We present engineers as solutions—mapped directly to what’s stalling delivery.
✅ Need to untangle legacy code?
✅ Need to scale infrastructure to millions?
✅ Need to build under compliance constraints?
We don’t just find who can. We bring who already did.

At Meed, we believe:
Hiring isn’t a pipeline problem. It’s a misdiagnosed bottleneck.
That’s why we focus on performance-driven hiring. Not by volume. But by velocity.

Our approach starts before there’s even a vacancy.
We track the subtle shifts that signal a perfect match between an elite engineer’s strengths and your team’s challenges — often before those needs are public.
This isn’t about collecting résumés.
It’s about recognizing when the timing, skills, and impact align — and making the connection before anyone else does.
Because the best hires don’t apply.
They’re building the future.
We make sure it’s with you.

At Meed Recruitment, we move before the market does.
We focus on engineers with a proven record of driving results in complex, high-growth environments — professionals already delivering impact where it matters most.
We connect them with teams whose ambitions match their capabilities, creating the conditions for accelerated delivery and long-term stability.
These aren’t short-term fixes — they’re hires who grow into leadership, elevate peers, and strengthen entire platforms.
AI sourcing is powerful — but even the best systems rely on visible signals: updated profiles, active applications, keyword-rich CVs.
Top-tier passive engineers often slip through because:
At Meed Recruitment, we blend AI signal detection with human precision-sourcing — surfacing passive, high-fit engineers invisible to standard AI filters.
