Engineering-minded recruiters for complex manufacturing roles.
Founded in 2009, GLOBAL Automation Technologies was built to solve manufacturing problems through automation, bringing automation solutions, services and technical staffing together so clients could secure both the robotic systems and the people to run them. Over 17+ years its team has grown to more than 110 professionals, with offices in four countries and project experience in 22 countries. Its recruiting reflects the same applications-first thinking as its engineering work: understand the operation, define the need, and connect the right professional to the role.
Direct hire places a professional permanently on your team from day one and suits roles central to long-term operations, uptime, and internal knowledge. Contract staffing fits defined projects or temporary capacity, and contract-to-hire lets you evaluate a professional on assignment before committing to a permanent offer. GLOBAL offers all three and helps match the model to the role.
You don't need a defined project to start a conversation. Tell us about your products, your processes, and your automation goals, and learn how GLOBAL approaches automation.
