Company Overview

A mid-sized German engineering firm specializing in industrial plant design needed to scale rapidly while staying compliant and efficient. With growing project demands and tight hiring timelines, they turned to Scope Merge to expand their workforce through a streamlined, cross-border solution.

The Challenge: Scaling Responsibly and Efficiently

The company faced three main hurdles:

• Project Demands: They needed additional engineers with specialized expertise to support ongoing and upcoming projects.
