Our clients choose YDTS because we deliver more than candidates — we deliver solutions that transform organizations. We act as strategic advisors, aligning talent planning with business strategy, and as execution experts, deploying the right recruiting resources at the right time. We have scaled teams for Fortune 500 companies and emerging tech innovators alike. Our consultants and recruiters bring domain knowledge to the table. YDTS has staffed teams and leaders in critical sectors: Technology & Semiconductors (e.g. firmware and AI research engineers); Life Sciences & Pharma/CRO (e.g. biologists, regulatory experts); Automotive & Aerospace (e.g. systems engineers, avionics talent); Manufacturing & Industrial (e.g. process engineers, plant managers); and Retail/FMCG (e.g. supply chain, product leads). For each sector, we tailor our approach. In life sciences, for example, compliance and specialized skills are paramount, so we leverage niche networks and universities. In tech industries, speed and culture-fit are critical, so we focus on coding simulations and cultural alignment. By organizing content by industry, visitors quickly see that we “speak their language” and have relevant success stories. Job Description This is a remote position.
