Who you will work with
Zahid Raja (Zack), Founder & Director
Zahid Raja (Zack) founded Talentometry in January 2020 to bring a researcher's rigour to technical recruitment.
After a BSc in Medical Sciences, Zack completed an ESRC-accredited MSc in Social Research Methods. That training still shapes how we work: map the whole market first, measure what matters, and judge success by who's still thriving in the role, not how fast it was filled.
He began his recruitment career building a new pre-construction desk from scratch, then joined two recruitment start-ups: one recruiting recruiters, the other specialising in industrial automation design engineers. That's where his focus on controls and automation began, and why Talentometry speaks the language of PLCs, drives and MEICA. Today, over 95% of the people we've placed are still in post 12 months later.
How we are different
Why our placements last.
Research first
Before we call anyone, we map the whole market for your role, so your shortlist comes from everyone suitable, not just whoever replied to an advert.
Technically screened
We speak PLCs, drives, MEICA and critical power. Every candidate is assessed against your technical brief before you see them.
We stay in touch
We check in with new starters and their managers after day one, and keep checking in. It is a big part of why over 95% are still in post a year on.
