MSZK · Engineer Portfolio

A new service from the Engineers’ Freelance Community

Our mission

We make engineering knowledge visible, accessible, and valuable. We build a professional community where engineers connect, grow, and use their expertise directly through project-based work.

Our platform bridges companies and outstanding engineers: businesses find experts quickly and reliably, while engineers gain real projects.

Because we believe the future of work is not jobs — it is collaborations.

What makes us different

Here you do not choose from generic profiles. Every Portfolio member has a detailed profile built on real project experience — so you match based on concrete experience, not competencies.

More flexible than a classic headhunting process, and more transparent than an open freelance marketplace.

We do not place engineers — we connect the best-fit expert to the project. Our solution flexibly supports SMEs and large enterprises alike.

Precisely matched to the task

You get not just any engineer, but the right expert for your task

Transparency

Real project history on every profile

You see what the engineer worked on in recent years: projects, industries, teams, outcomes. Not a CV template, but professional experience.

Professional fit

The right expert for the task

Industrial automation, environmental permitting, or logistics process design — we start from who has already worked on similar projects, not who is available.

Trust

Profiles built through in-depth interviews

Every Portfolio member is profiled through an interview, project examples, and professional references — not self-declarations.

Profiles show the engineer's industry, project type, and role — that is how we perform the professional match.

Why Engineer Portfolio?

Engineering capacity — instead of slow and risky options.

✕ The traditional way

  • Headhunting

    Typically a multi-week process, 18–35% fee

  • Consulting firm

    Expensive, hard to scale

  • Organic search

    Time-consuming, hard to plan

✓ Engineer Portfolio

  • Shorter lead time

    First recommendation within 2–5 business days after clarifying the brief

  • 10–15% placement fee

    Fixed upfront, transparent terms

  • Real project history

    Matching based on concrete experience, not CVs

How does it work?

Four steps to a project-ready engineer

  1. 01

    Briefing

    30 min

    We discuss the task: industry, project type, timeline, team size. Together we define the experience profile needed.

  2. 02

    Professional matching

    1–3 days

    From the Portfolio profiles we select engineers who have worked on similar projects and introduce them to you.

  3. 03

    Onboarding & kick-off

    2–5 business days

    You meet the expert and the collaboration starts once terms are clear.

  4. 04

    Project closure & review

    The experience is added back to the engineer's profile, so the next match is even more precise.

Trust

Built on real experience

We do not present experts based solely on CVs. Profiles are created through interviews, previous project examples, and mapping of professional experience.

01

In-depth interview

We hold a personal professional conversation with every engineer: industry, project types, tools used, and scope of responsibility.

02

Review of project examples

We go through previous work via concrete examples, so experience is tied to real tasks.

03

Professional matching

Based on the requirements assessment we only recommend engineers whose documented experience fits the task.

Questions & answers

Frequently asked questions

1How long does it take to find a suitable engineer?+

After a brief 30-minute discovery call, we typically introduce the first relevant candidates within 2–5 business days. This is the time to the first introduction, not the full project closure.

2How do you make sure the engineer has relevant experience?+

Every Portfolio member goes through an in-depth interview and professional profiling: we record industry, project type, tools used, and outcomes. Based on your brief, we match accordingly.

3What is the difference between Engineer Portfolio and a headhunter?+

Engineer Portfolio is community-based: we know the experts personally, profiles are built through interviews and real project examples, and we can recommend both individuals and teams. The placement fee is 10–15% with fixed, transparent terms.

4What fields and industries do you cover?+

Environmental engineering, urban planning, infrastructure, architecture, energy, industrial automation, packaging technology, project and process engineering, logistics, and digital transformation. The expert pool is especially strong in manufacturing, logistics, energy, and construction.

5What types of projects and company sizes is the service suited for?+

Typically 1–12 month project-based engagements and 2–10 person teams. We mainly recommend it for 50–500 employee companies, but also work in larger corporate environments on longer digital transformation projects.
