High Tech Source is recruitment partner for many top tier international high-tech companies. Our clients excel in designing, developing, and bringing to market the world’s most leading and complex high-tech equipment. Examples of these products and systems are: a fully solar-powered vehicle, a lithography machine, an electron microscope and an implantable medical device.
