Hear What Others Are Saying
I’ve worked with several recruiters throughout my career, and The Ottohahn Group was easily the best. She worked with me hand in hand from initial contact through accepted offer, ensuring that all of my needs were met and that I got placed with a great company. I’d highly recommend her for anyone looking in the fields that she represents.

The Ottohahn Group is a perfect example of an active and helpful recruiter who has your best interest in mind. Sarah was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process, and I am thankful we connected. I highly recommend The Ottohahn Group’s services.
Director of Engineering
Sarah has an incredible gift for connecting people with their future. When we worked together at first, Sarah quickly understood my need and ensured she brought me options. Years later, we worked together with me on the other end. It was an ideal situation. We touched base, she took the time to really understand who I was, what I bring, and where I saw a future. Then moved towards connecting with me when something really fit me and was very efficient with my time. What is the best summary? I am in a role where I am really getting to do what I dreamed, with a team I am very happy to talk to every day. A perfect fit, in a location that was ideal, and a future that I can only deeply thank Sarah for connecting me with.

Systems Engineering Manager
Sarah is an exceptional recruiter and resource development partner! An established company, who I now work for, was initially looking for some business and systems people to assess US market opportunities, but through a succession of events Sarah helped create, the company decided to directly start-up a new division for their products in the US. Sarah, with her sharp abilities to intuit, listen, and observe, crafted a winning opportunity for everyone! I would say Sarah epitomizes the best resourcing, recruiting and staffing talent. I have been lucky to work with her. Thank you Sarah!
Principal Project Engineer
I have found Sarah is one of the few recruiters who actually listen to the candidates and effectively communicate the employer’s needs. From the time she first contacted me about the job that I eventually accepted, she has been very patient and never tried to push. She listened to my concerns all along and did everything she could to address them. I believe, she was equally good in communicating with the employer too. I strongly recommend Sarah.
Director of Systems Engineering
I was first introduced to Sarah a couple of years ago. At that time I was not ready to make a career move but when that time came Sarah was there to help me find a great engineering job. She was very helpful throughout the entire process and always kept me informed. I would highly recommend her to anyone searching for a different or new job.

Advisors to Technical Leaders
Bringing Clarity to Complex Engineering Hiring Decisions
We begin every engagement by understanding how your engineering and operations teams run today and where you need them to be over the next several years. Our team provides direct, data-informed feedback on candidate availability, compensation expectations, and relocation realities for senior engineering and technical leadership roles.
Throughout the search, we help you weigh trade-offs, calibrate expectations, and move forward with hires who match both the complexity of your work and the culture of your organization.
Focus
We stay in engineering-led industrial environments, so searches don’t happen in a vacuum. They’re built around how your assets run, what your teams own, and the regulatory and customer pressures you deal with every day.
Rigor
We don’t stop at the resume. We dig into how someone thinks on the floor, how they use data, how they lead when things get tight, and what they’ve actually improved: safety, quality, uptime, cost, and performance.
Continuity
We’re not just here for the offer acceptance. We stay close after the hire, get real feedback, help the transition stick, and use what we learn to support future hiring and succession planning.
Trust
We operate with transparency and straight talk. That earns buy-in from both sides—and makes it easier to have the honest conversations about constraints, expectations, and what success really looks like in the role.
