Solving Technical Recruiting
We built Metheion because we saw a recurring problem in Technical Hiring: it is more often than not handled by people who do not understand the technology they are hiring for. This happens both in recruitment agencies and within tech companies, where recruiters or HR teams without a technical background try to identify and evaluate engineers but struggle to grasp the technologies these engineers are supposed to bring to life.
I have spent the last 13 years working in deep tech, across academia, industrial R&D, and technical consulting. Every time it is the same story: clueless recruiters trying to evaluate engineers without understanding the technology, screening candidates based on keywords in their resumes, and hiring managers getting frustrated with wasting a large amount of time speaking with people who were never a good technical fit in the first place.
In technical hiring, a CV screen is not enough
Yes, it can show that someone has worked with batteries, semiconductors, robotics, materials, or AI, but it does not tell the whole story: whether the engineer has the technical depth to solve specific problems your company is trying to solve.
CV screening is also unreliable because strong candidates can easily be overlooked if the person screening them doesn’t understand the technology well enough to recognize relevant experience when it’s described differently from the job description.
Here comes Metheion.
Metheion solution for Technical Recruiting
We built the company on a simple idea:
Engineers should be recruited and evaluated by technical experts, not by recruiters with degrees in psychology or economics who are unable to ask a single meaningful question.
We focus on the technical requirements of the specific role, the product, and the technology, rather than treating recruiting as a CV keyword-matching exercise.
We offer two services:
Basic Technical Recruiting includes the search and a shortlist of technically relevant candidates. Your team performs the final technical evaluation.
Elite Technical Recruiting includes the search, a 60-min technical interview tailored to your product, technology, and requirements, and a written technical interview feedback for each shortlisted candidate. This means your team can focus its time only on top candidates who have already passed a rigorous technical evaluation against your product and tech stack
Metheion is now live and actively seeking new partners interested in hiring engineers across deep tech and niche technical domains.
Technical Recruiting by real engineers. Built around understanding the technology, not just finding keywords.
