Our Story
Engage Engineer Search was born from our team's firsthand experience in forensic engineering, revealing a critical gap: a lack of recruiters who truly comprehend the forensic engineering field and its associated industries. This deficit led to mismatches between companies and suitable candidates, causing inefficiencies for both sides.
​
Our mission at Engage Engineer Search is to transform this landscape.
​
We specialize in the niche industry of forensic engineering and its related fields. Partnering closely with leading firms, we learn their unique needs, cultures, and values to pinpoint candidates who seamlessly align not just with the role but also the company's mission, values, and vision. Additionally, we aim to understand the diverse values, experiences, and requirements of each candidate, we approach, professionally yet personally, ensuring an ideal match.
​
What sets Engage Engineer Search apart is our commitment to integrity, professionalism, and honesty. This allows us to build strong relationships with clients and candidates through clear communication and mutual respect.

"I highly recommend Natalie for your next career search! The opportunities and interviews she recently facilitated for me were spot on what I was seeking, meaning she LISTENS! Natalie doesn't just shotgun your CV to hundreds of firms, Rather, she identifies opportunities that match your skills and desired position, and then discusses those opportunities with you BEFORE she sends your info to the employer. Her advice throughout the process, including before and after interviews, was extremely helpful and insightful. When I had interviews with companies that were not her clients, she was equally excited and helpful, always stressing that the perfect position for me was the goal, regardless of whether she received a commission. She focuses on people and long-term relationships, and that's amazing in this day and age. Natalie Sarmiento is amazing, a true professional, and now, a friend for life! Let her show you what a genuine recruiting professional does on your next career move!"

She is not your typical recruiter - Natalie is friendly and caring and really wants to land you the right role. She’s so amazing and still checks in on me to this day. Work with her!!!"
