What does a mechanical engineer staffing agency do?
A mechanical engineer staffing agency recruits engineers and establishes whether the role genuinely needs a PE licence, which is where most briefs go wrong. GlobalCybers places them permanently onto your payroll rather than on contract. PE licences are issued by state engineering boards through the NCEES examinations, but the industrial exemption in most states lets engineers work on their employer's own products without one, which is why a manufacturing design role rarely needs a PE and building-services work that gets stamped always does. We verify licensure with the board and assess design-tool depth directly. RPO at $2,999/mo, or Direct Hire at 12-20% on a successful hire.

Need a permanent engineer instead of contract design capacity?
Contract engineers deliver a design package and take the reasoning behind it with them, which surfaces at the first change request nobody can answer. Design intent, tolerance decisions and the awkward history of why a part is shaped that way are institutional. A permanent engineer is a one-time fee and keeps that knowledge attached to the product.
How It Works
From Brief to Shortlist in 48 Hours
Submit Brief
Tell us the role, location, required credentials, and timeline. Takes under 5 minutes.
We Source
Our recruiters tap active candidate pools, including credentialed pros not on job boards.
Credential Check
Every state licence and federal cert verified directly against the issuing authority. No exceptions.
Shortlist Delivered
3–5 verified candidates in your portal within 48 hours of receiving a complete brief.

Credential Verification
Every Licence Verified Before Delivery
Unverified mechanical engineers never appear on a shortlist. We check directly against the issuing authority, not self-reported documentation.
PE licensure and the industrial exemption
We verify PE licences with the state engineering board, including the states of licensure and comity, and we tell you plainly when your brief does not actually require one. The industrial exemption in most states means product and manufacturing engineers work legally without a PE, and requiring it there shrinks your pool for no benefit.
Design tools and analysis, assessed
We assess the CAD and simulation stack directly, SolidWorks, Creo, NX or Inventor, and FEA or CFD work where the role needs it, and record whether the candidate ran the analysis or interpreted somebody else's. That distinction is the whole difference in a design seat.
Standards and project evidence
Codes and standards knowledge, ASME, ASHRAE or industry-specific, is checked against the work the role does, and we review actual project evidence: what the engineer designed, what the constraints were, and what went into production or got built.
Pricing
Two Models, Same Quality
Direct Hire
Of first-year salary · on successful hire only · no retainer
90-Day Written Guarantee: If a placed mechanical engineer leaves or is terminated within 90 days, we replace them at no additional cost. Available on both RPO and Direct Hire models.
Employer Value
What an Unfilled Mechanical Engineer Seat Costs, and How We Cut It
An unfilled engineering seat delays design releases, holds up procurement and, where a stamp is needed, stops a project entirely rather than slowing it.
A verified 3-5 shortlist of mechanical engineers lands within 48 hours of a complete brief, instead of the weeks the seat stays uncovered.
We verify licensure with the state board and tell you when the role does not need a PE at all, which usually widens the field considerably.
Pay only when you hire, at 12-20% of first-year salary. RPO is a flat $2,999/month for continuous engineering & technical hiring, with no per-hire fee.
If a placed mechanical engineer leaves or is let go within 90 days, we source a replacement free under both models.

Screening & Compliance
Every Mechanical Engineer, Fully Vetted
Before a mechanical engineer reaches your shortlist we confirm the licence, safety cards, and right to work, so you take on a fully de-risked hire.
State licence & credentials
Every state licence and certification confirmed active against the issuing authority, never self-reported.
Safety cards
OSHA 10/30 and trade safety cards (e.g. NFPA 70E) verified against DOL-authorised provider records.
Background & drug screening
County, state, and federal checks run FCRA-compliant, plus 5- or 10-panel drug screening aligned to your jobsite policy.
Right-to-work & E-Verify
Form I-9 completed and E-Verify confirmed before start date, so every placement is work-authorized.
Insurance & liability. GlobalCybers carries general and professional liability cover, and every direct-hire placement goes onto your payroll as a W-2 employee, keeping worker-classification risk inside a compliant process.
