Focused on niche engineering talent. Built on relationships.
We connect top engineers with companies solving complex problems through a process built on trust, not transactions.
Qerala believe great engineering hires come from meaningful, focused connections - not mass outreach, resume spam, or bloated recruiter costs. We’ve built a highly specialized network of Optical, Electrical, and Mechanical engineers across North America, supported by a process that prioritizes technical alignment and long-term fit. Whether you’re hiring for one role or scaling a team, our model is precise, personal, and purpose-built for hard-to-fill technical positions.
Our Mission
To redefine how critical engineering talent connects with world-changing work. We believe that the right engineer, in the right role, can accelerate innovation, unlock breakthroughs, and move entire industries forward. Qerala exists to make those connections happen faster, smarter, and with purpose. Plus, we believe recruiting shouldn’t break the bank to get there.

I started Qerala because I saw how inefficient (and expensive) engineering recruitment had become. Too many talented engineers were buried in generic pipelines, and too many teams were wasting time and budget on hires that didn’t fit. I believed there had to be a better way. One that respected the complexity of technical hiring, prioritized real relationships, and didn’t break the bank. Qerala is that way. We’re building a network where the best engineers and the best teams can find each other—faster, smarter, and with purpose.
I’ve spent years in the trenches of technical hiring - reviewing resumes, building teams, and navigating the same recruiting inefficiencies many companies still face today. Qerala is shaped by that experience. It’s a solution born from real-world hiring challenges, built to serve both engineers and the people trying to find them.
I started Qerala because great engineers were getting lost in the system and great teams were wasting time and money trying to find them. I wanted to create a smarter, simpler, more focused way to connect specialized talent with the companies that actually need them. Not through mass outreach or inflated recruiter fees, but through a network built on clarity, quality, and trust.
