Software engineering recruitment agency
The engineers worth hiring are not on job boards. They are shipping production code somewhere else, they are not looking, and they will only move for a conversation that respects their time and speaks their language.

Market view
Why software engineering hiring fails
Most software engineering recruitment fails at the approach, not the assessment. A generic message about an exciting opportunity gets deleted by anyone good, because anyone good receives fifteen a week. Our consultants can hold a credible conversation about your stack, your architecture and the actual problems the role will solve, which is the only reason a senior engineer at a competitor agrees to a first call.
The second failure point is process speed. Strong engineers run multiple conversations and accept early. A four stage process spread over five weeks will lose your first choice candidate to a faster business almost every time. We flag process risk at scoping and structure the search so your shortlist arrives while your panel still has diary space, in an average of four days.
Common questions
Questions we are asked
Do you recruit for specific technology stacks?
Yes. We brief by stack and by problem domain rather than by keyword, covering the common enterprise and scale-up environments including Java, .NET, Python, Go, TypeScript and the major cloud platforms. Our consultants specialise by discipline, so the person running your search understands the difference between the roles you are describing.
Can you help with contract as well as permanent engineering hires?
Our core model is permanent and executive appointment. For sustained volume requirements across engineering teams, our embedded RPO service is usually the better commercial fit than individual placements.
