Our happy employers and job seekers love to share their experiences working with SBT

Working with SBT has been one of the best recruiting experiences in my career. The vast majority of recruiters for leading tech firms give the impression of matching resume keywords to the position, and randomly casting their net in the hope of finding a candidate through luck, rather than understanding the industry and position. What differentiates SBT is that they take the time to understand the skills and interests of the candidate in order to provide a customized experience, ranging from a personalized initial contact to valuable advice at different stages of the interview process. This customized approach, combined with SBT’s deep understanding and contacts in the semiconductor industry, enables them to surgically match a candidate to a position. This enables a win-win scenario, where the candidate furthers their career goals, and the hiring company gains a quality candidate well-aligned with the position and their corporate goals.

Machine Learning Engineer, Cirrus Logic

I worked with SBT early this year(2021). SBT approached me through LinkedIn and their introduction email was tailored to appeal to me which meant they had taken the time to read up about my work experience and background. I see a lot of times that recruiters approach with a cut-paste introduction without much substance.
Throughout the interview process, I had fruitful discussions with the SBT team and they patiently answered my questions and were diligent in follow-ups. They are knowledgeable about the semiconductor/tech industry and understand the job market in this ecosystem. They are extremely professional and work with you till the end. I consider the SBT team as experienced recruiters who personalize the job interview process. I recommend them wholeheartedly.

Several years ago SBT helped me land a life-changing role at a great company that set my career up for success. The team at SBT made the process easy by helping me prep and making sure I knew what to expect at all stages as well as working as my advocate through signing. I would definitely recommend SBT to anyone looking to make a role change, they really are great to work with.

I’ve worked with a lot of great recruiting professionals in the last 10 years; hiring for dozens of technical roles. SBT stands out as one of the very, very best. They have a deep understanding of the semiconductor space and are able to land outstanding talent for their clients. SBT gets my highest recommendation.
