Engineers who understand the roles they recruit for
We understand the client, the role and its environment because we have worked in those functions or very close to them. That experience helps us attract better, assess with sound judgement and support how the organisation and the business develop.
For engineering design teams, engineering consultancies and industrial companies that make technical quality and efficiency a competitive advantage.
What we do
Each service solves a different problem. Together, they build teams, improve how work gets done and turn technical capability into business.
We understand the requirement, make a credible case for the professional opportunity to sought-after candidates and interview against technical, human and organisational criteria. This gives us access to more talent and leads to better recommendations.

View service ↓Technical recruitment · Why we get it right
Our recurring focus is engineering design teams and operational environments. We recognise similar challenges, ask better questions and explain the opportunity credibly to professionals who do not respond to a generic job advert.
Objectives, context, team, ways of working and the result the new hire must deliver.
We translate the opportunity with technical language, honesty and arguments that matter to the candidate.
Direct search, a specialist network and conversations with both active and passive talent.
Engineer-led interview and a reasoned recommendation covering capability, motivation and organisational fit.
Why getting it right matters

Gallup, 2026 ↗Organisation & efficiency · Process engineering
We go into the real operation —proposals, engineering, purchasing, warehouse, operations or administration— to understand how work, information and decisions move. First we organise the process; then we select the organisation and technology that make it sustainable.
Interviews, observation, data and a map of the real flow to identify interruptions, rework, duplication and risk.
Flows, decision criteria, control points and coordination between functions to define how the process should work.
Owners, boundaries, agreements between teams and KPIs that enable clear decisions and management.
Prioritisation, pilot, hands-on support and follow-up until the new operation is sustained in day-to-day work.
Where we apply it
Inbound and outbound flows, locations, stock, traceability, status, evidence, QR and ERP connection.
Classification and priority, technical validation, handovers with engineering and rules for better response.
Roles, approvals, handoffs, duplication, email and spreadsheets, dashboards and automation where it adds value.
Technology with a purpose: together with Protofy, we can turn the designed process into tools, integrations and automation. Technology does not define the process; it makes it executable and traceable.
Why improvement needs a method
of employers identify organisational culture and resistance to change as barriers to transformation.

World Economic Forum, 2025 ↗Technical business development · Local implementation
We do more than introduce contacts. We can temporarily lead technical-commercial development, govern implementation through project management and combine organisation design with recruitment until the client has its own transferable capability.
Market, proposition, objectives and the capabilities that must exist locally.
Prospecting, technical conversations, qualification and first opportunities with real market learning.
Scope, milestones, risks, owners and coordination across headquarters, clients, partners and the local team.
Processes, team recruitment, operational activation and progressive transfer to the client's own structure.
Local structure, team, processes, technical-commercial support and coordination with European headquarters.
Operating base in Spain, recruitment, technical business development and coordination of European market entry.
Presence across Spain and Brazil. Scope is defined project by project according to sector, country and the capability required.
Why market entry needs structure
of Spanish companies export, compared with 35% of high-growth companies.
ICEX, 2025 ↗Our approach
The same principle guides all three services: understand the ground, turn it into clear criteria and provide the right capability.
Role, process, client, market and expected outcome.
What is holding progress back, what risk exists and what truly needs to change.
Search, organise, represent or implement with clear accountability.
Deliverables, decisions and observable results; not abstract consulting.
Applied experience
Challenge definition, direct search and reasoned recommendations for critical engineering and operations positions.
Review of roles and flows across sales, engineering, purchasing, warehouse and operations; design and implementation of improvements.
First-opportunity development, project management, local capability design, team build and handover.
Who is behind Verum
Albert López is an industrial and mechanical engineer. His work spans projects, processes, organisation, recruitment and technical business development. Verum comes from that combination: understanding the work, understanding the company and helping people make sound decisions.
Common questions
The service is called Technical recruitment. Headhunting is a search method; talent is what we help the client bring into the organisation.
Our focus is engineers, managers and technical-operational professionals where understanding the function materially improves the decision.
Technology to implement improvements once the process is understood. We do not start by selling software: we first organise the problem.
No. Diagnosis identifies what is holding performance back; the work continues through process design, ownership, indicators, a pilot and implementation.
No. It may include the initial technical-commercial development, but the objective is to build the client's own structure: market, project management, organisation, processes, team and handover.
Verum operates across Spain and Brazil, initially focusing on industrial companies, engineering, energy and technical services.
We share named references or cases when authorised. Otherwise, we explain the context and work performed on a confidential basis.
The first step
A critical vacancy, an organisation that has outgrown its processes or a new market. If we understand the challenge, we can tell you honestly whether we are the right partner.
