For leaders & candidates

Is HardTech Careers free for me?

Yes — always. Browsing and applying to roles is completely free for candidates.

For employers & recruiters

What is GTM Talent Tracker?

A subscription intelligence product that maps the commercial layer of European hard tech — the sales, revenue and marketing leadership that turns deep-tech breakthroughs into revenue. It shows which companies have built a commercial function and which haven’t, which are hiring that seat now and which are most likely to hire next; where those leaders are recruited from — the archetypes, prior industries and cross-border talent flow that feed each sector; and the live stream of leadership moves, funding signals and open commercial roles. Filter by function, seniority and sector, or start from a role you need to fill. Source-linked and updated daily. Funding & leadership moves are tracked globally, with company-level analysis focused on European hard tech; access is open to anyone via a request form. See GTM Talent Tracker or request access.

How do I post a role?

Use Post a Role: fill in your opening and pay €149 at checkout. It is reviewed and typically live within 24 hours, and runs for 30 days. Full details are on the Post a Role page.

Do you do executive search or placements?

No — HardTech Careers is a subscription intelligence product and job board, not a search firm. We don’t run retained or contingent search, build shortlists, or hold a candidate pool. Employers get the live board, curated partner boards, role posts, and the GTM Talent Tracker. For hands-on executive search we can point you to an external partner — contact us.

Which regions and domains do you cover?

Senior and leadership roles across hard tech worldwide, spanning quantum, robotics, aerospace, semiconductors, defense, advanced materials, energy & climate and bio/medtech.

Trust & general

How do you verify that a role is real?

Every role links to the employer’s own official careers page or an authorized recruiter page — the source of truth — and an automated check runs daily. Dead, filled or redirected links are removed, so nothing stale lingers. More on our Trust & Safety page.

Will you ever ask me for payment or identity documents?

Never. We do not ask candidates for payment, bank details or identity documents, and we never contact you out of the blue on WhatsApp or Telegram. If someone does while claiming to be us, it is not us — please report it.
