We are a telecom recruitment agency. Since 2013 we have placed network, OSS/BSS and embedded engineers with operators, equipment vendors and communications platforms across the UK, EU and North America. Tell us what you are hiring for.
Why telecom hiring is different
Most technology recruiters screen on language and framework. That fails in telecom, where the decisive experience is protocol-level and rarely appears as a keyword on a CV.
A backend engineer who has shipped REST APIs is not automatically an engineer who can debug SIP signalling under load, reason about SS7 and Diameter interworking, or keep an IMS core stable through a migration. The same gap shows up in RAN work, in MPLS and segment-routing design, and in OSS/BSS programmes where billing accuracy and provisioning logic carry regulatory weight.
Our shortlists are screened by people who can hold that conversation. We test for the specific layer you are hiring into, not for generic seniority.

Where the talent sits
We recruit across the UK, the EU, Ukraine and the wider CEE region, from offices in London, Tallinn and Lviv. Ukraine and Poland hold unusually deep telecom engineering benches, largely because of long-running R&D centres run by equipment vendors and operators.
If you are weighing locations, our market reviews cover salary levels, seniority mix and availability: Lviv IT market and Kyiv IT market.
EchoGlobal OU is ISO 27001:2022 certified, which matters when candidate and client data crosses borders during a search.
