By Phil Friess, Managing Director at Futurepath
When we started Futurepath over four years ago, we had a clear mission: to connect top tech talent with career-defining opportunities and play a role in shaping the future of the software-driven automotive industry. Looking back on our journey, I am proud to see how we have grown and achieved these goals.
As a Volkswagen Group joint venture, we were entrusted from the very start with recruiting for some of the most complex and specialized tech roles – helping to build high-performing teams for critical projects.
Over the years, we’ve successfully placed top professionals across key tech domains, developed hiring processes that meet Volkswagen Group’s high standards, and built an extensive talent pool of specialized tech talent to provide only top-tier candidates.
And now, we’re ready for the next step.
Expanding Beyond the Volkswagen Group
This experience has positioned us to meet the growing demand for skilled tech professionals across industries. Building on our solid foundation within the Volkswagen Group, we are now expanding our services to new sectors and partners.
Why Are We Expanding? Our Strong Foundation
Since our founding, we have filled over 1,350 highly specialized permanent and freelance positions and conducted more than 2,000 in-depth technical assessments within the Volkswagen Group. By working on some of the most specialized and complex projects in the industry, we’ve built a vast talent pool of tech professionals across critical domains.
Alongside our proven recruiting expertise, we’ve developed best-in-class freelance compliance processes that meet the high standards of industry leaders, enabling us to support new partnerships seamlessly.
As our expertise grew, we recognized a rising demand for niche tech recruitment, with more companies seeking our expertise beyond the Volkswagen Group. Now, with the scale and depth of our expertise and talent pool, we are ready to meet this increasing demand.
Having already expanded into Europe and the US, our next logical step is to broaden our reach even further – connecting businesses outside of the Volkswagen Group with the exceptional talent they need to drive the next era of digital transformation.
Trusted Partner in Automotive & Beyond
Built for and by the Volkswagen Group, Futurepath has deep roots in automotive technology. Over the years, we’ve built a highly specialized talent pool, supporting cutting-edge projects in ADAS, in-car software, cloud-based vehicle services, and digital transformation.
However, our expertise doesn’t stop there. The technologies shaping the automotive industry – such as AI, data science, software engineering, and cloud solutions – are also driving innovation in sectors like SAAS, MAAS, aerospace, health tech, semiconductors, telecommunication, and more. This strong foundation enables us to support businesses across industries, helping them build world-class tech teams.
At the same time, our commitment to Volkswagen Group remains as strong as ever. We continue to strengthen our collaboration, supporting ongoing and future hiring needs with the same dedication that has defined our journey from the start.
What’s Next? Unlocking Exceptional Tech Talent
With software and data at the heart of modern mobility, we have identified, assessed, and placed exceptional talent across all key domains. Now, we’re ready to bring this expertise to a broader range of companies, with a focus on:
- Tech Recruiting – Offering comprehensive recruitment across all IT and engineering domains, supporting businesses in diverse industries.
