Recruitment specialist placing engineers and specialists across tech, mining, and industrial sectors
Obex is a 51–200 person recruitment consultancy founded in 2018, operating across North America and Europe. The tech stack reveals a hybrid business: legacy enterprise tools (Active Directory, Azure, Windows Server) sit alongside modern data and robotics infrastructure (Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Kubernetes, Ray). The project list—robotic systems, autonomy software, learning pipelines, and safety audits—suggests Obex is not pure recruitment: they're either staffing internal engineering teams working on robotics/automation, or they've acquired or built automation IP alongside their placement business.
Obex recruits specialists across technology, mining and metals, mission-critical engineering, renewables, flavors and fragrance, and legal sectors. The firm operates hiring capacity in every U.S. state and Canadian province, with full licensing in Switzerland and AUG assessment capability in Germany. Their active hiring mix skews engineering and legal (12 and 8 roles respectively), with a balanced mid/senior seniority split. Pain-point tracking points to operational focus on production excellence, safety compliance, equipment uptime, and team scaling—likely both internal priorities and client challenges they're solving through placement.
Obex is licensed to hire in the United States (all 50 states), Canada (all provinces), Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. They also conduct AUG assessments for German roles and have local partners for AUG-licensed positions.
