Struggling to Fill Niche AV Roles? Here’s How HireSparks Solves That—Fast.
In today’s competitive audiovisual (AV) landscape, finding the right talent isn’t just hard — for niche roles, it can feel almost impossible.
Whether you’re looking for a Field Engineer, DSP Programmer, AV Solutions Architect, or other technical specialists, these aren’t roles that just any recruiter can fill. The talent pool is specialized. The experience required is highly specific. And the longer these positions stay open, the more project delays and operational costs your company faces.
That’s where HireSparks AV Recruiting comes in.
We Know AV Because It’s All We Do.
Since 2015, HireSparks has been the only global recruiting firm focused 100% on the AV industry. We’re not generalists. We don’t dabble in IT, construction, or manufacturing. Our mission is — and always has been — connecting the most qualified AV professionals with the companies that need them.
We work with companies across North America, the UK/EU, and Asia, from AV integrators and manufacturers to consultants and corporate end-users.
What Makes Niche Roles So Challenging to Fill?
Roles like Field Engineers and DSP Programmers require deep expertise in platforms such as Biamp, QSC, Crestron, Poly, and others. Candidates need hands-on experience with system commissioning, tuning, and troubleshooting, often in client-facing environments.
The challenge?
-
These professionals are rare, highly sought after, and often not actively looking.
-
Internal HR teams or general recruiters don’t have the industry knowledge or networks to find them.
-
Time-to-hire is often long, with costly delays for both clients and their projects.
