The Hiring Challenges You Are Facing
The Talent Drought
Experienced fire engineers are scarce and rarely on job boards. You post roles that sit open for months because generalist recruiters cannot find people who actually understand fire modelling, code consulting, or suppression design.
The Revolving Door
You have made hires through agencies before, only to see them leave within a year. Bad cultural fit, inflated CVs, or candidates who were never properly vetted. Each failed hire costs you six months and tens of thousands.
The Generalist Problem
Your current recruiter covers 15 different industries and treats fire and life safety like any other engineering role. They do not know the difference between a fire engineer and a fire protection designer, let alone what PE or IFE chartership means.
Ignis vs Traditional Recruiters
Not all recruitment is the same. Here is what makes working with a specialist different.
How We Work
A straightforward process designed to get the right candidates in front of you quickly.
You Tell Us What You Need
We start with a 15-minute discovery call to understand your technical requirements, team culture, timeline, and budget. No generic job specs.
We Search Our Network
We tap into our database of 3,000+ vetted fire and life safety professionals. Every candidate has been through a structured technical interview before you see them.
You Meet Pre-Screened Candidates
You receive a shortlist of qualified candidates with detailed profiles covering technical skills, BD capability, salary expectations, and cultural fit indicators.
