About…
Specifix Global is a specialist Recruitment service for the Semiconductor Industry. My experience with clients has been from all parts of the process; Equipment Manufacturers, Chip Manufacturers, Fabless Hardware Designers all the way to Process Gas Removal companies.
Working with clients on a Global basis, I have hired candidates in Asia, USA and Europe. The specific focus is providing candidates for WBG material roles. However as you will see from the example list below, I have had experience recruiting for a wide variety of technical semiconductor related positions. My most recent projects have been very RF focused (test, design and application roles).

CASE STUDIES
For the purpose of client confidentiality the company names will not be mentioned in the below case studies.
Appointed Exclusive
I begun working with this client in 2021. They had expanded their engineered substrate portfolio from SiC into GaN not long before (2019). They needed help to build their GaN focused team and were struggling with finding specifically technical candidates. I came in a filled their technical roles. Subsequently I was invited to their site, where they made me their exclusive external recruiter.
Since then, I have continued to support two of their sites in Europe locations. Placing roles such as their R&D Director, Product Marketing Director and Technology Expert (Si).
Covering All Teams
This particular client had two UK sites, with different teams. I worked separately with the RF team, the Quality Department and another more general Electronics Team to fill various roles. I started with the Electronics team looking for a Engineering Manager and various engineers. After successfully filling these positions I was then introduced to their RF team. The RF team were expanding and looking to bring on a RF/Microwave System Engineer, a RF Test Engineer and an Application Engineer. We successfully filled all three roles. Meanwhile I worked with the Quality department to find a Quality Manager who had previous experience/exposure with IC manufacturing at wafer level.
EPI Team
This clients location will remain anonymous. They had built a new
manufacturing facility, designed to have separate spaces for chip and epitaxy production. They had to build their Epitaxy team. The roles varied from analysts to process engineers and equipment technicians.
I worked together with two of the clients internal recruiters to build the team successfully. We relocated candidates from various locations in Europe and Asia.
Equipment Split
This client are a GaN based Lazer Manufacturer in the US. They had split recruitment needs, the Director of Facilities was looking for Epitaxy Equipment specialists (MOCVD reactors), whilst their Equipment Maintenance Manager needed specialists with a focus PVD and CVD tools, high vacuum environments and RF generator experience. The goal was to find equipment specialists who were matched perfectly to the different technical splits.
