Melza is a boutique headhunting firm based in Barcelona that specialises in placing technical and strategic talent at high-growth startups and established organisations across Europe. With over five years of experience refining its methodology, the firm focuses on engineering recruitment, senior hires, and leadership positions - roles where precision and deep contextual understanding tend to matter most.
Rather than operating as a generalist recruiter, Melza positions itself around technical depth: the ability to evaluate candidates beyond their CVs and identify profiles that a less specialised search might overlook. Its process is built around transparency for both sides of a hire - candidates and companies alike - with an emphasis on clarity at each stage rather than the opacity common in executive search.
The firm works with clients across Europe from its Barcelona base, combining the reach of a continent-wide network with the responsiveness of a small, focused team. Its engagements span high-growth technology companies and more established organisations, covering roles from engineering teams through to senior leadership.
