We are technologists finding other technologists

Because we have a background in technology and speak the language, we know how to find great talent. We understand what you need when you say you need an expert.

We can help

Our clients are thriving tech startups of typically 50-300 people, who need help finding talent across leadership, product, technology and business functions.

Roles we hire for

Roles we’ve hired for range from CEO to Scrum Master, from Head of Product to Designer, from CTO to Engineer, from Head of Sales to Community Lead.

How we work

Before we start looking for candidates, we need to understand what makes your business tick.  Finding great talent depends on properly understanding your culture, standards, ethics and corporate dynamics.

We make a point of immersing ourselves in your company culture to observe and understand.  We’re often invited to our clients’ team meetings and added to comms channels.  Our network of talent scouts are working technologists, not recruiters. We understand the roles you are looking to fill from first-hand experience.

We are headhunters focused on improving diversity in the tech industry

Inclusivity promotes progress.

The best candidates won’t necessarily look like you, or have a background like yours, but they will bring energy, creativity and an appetite for ideas that will propel your business in new directions.

We’re technologists ourselves and we help you find those people.
