Specialties

Hiring isn’t one-size-fits-all. Every business has its own pace, structure, and challenges – and the same goes for candidates. That’s why we shape our services around the people we work with, not the other way round.

// our sPECIALTIES

Every sector has its own demands, pace, and culture. Our consultants work within those industries day in, day out – building networks, keeping pace with change, and connecting businesses with the people who can make a difference.

Here’s where we focus:

We know our markets because we live them every day.

Software Development

Great software underpins everything from internal systems to global platforms. We recruit across the full development lifecycle – from front-end specialists who shape user experiences to full-stack engineers and architects who design scalable solutions.

Our reach covers mainstream and niche languages, frameworks, and methodologies, meaning we can adapt to whatever stack your business is built on. For candidates, that means roles where your technical skills are properly matched and your career can grow.

Infrastructure & Cloud

No organisation runs smoothly without the right foundations. We place engineers and architects who design, maintain, and optimise the systems businesses rely on — whether that’s traditional on-premises, hybrid models, or fully cloud-native environments. From day-to-day operations to major migrations, we connect companies with the talent to keep everything secure, resilient, and future-ready.

Data & Analytics

Data only becomes valuable when it’s turned into decisions. We recruit analysts, engineers, and data scientists who know how to clean, model, and interpret information at scale. From building pipelines to extracting insights, these professionals help organisations understand what’s happening today – and predict what’s coming tomorrow.

Cyber Security

In a landscape where threats evolve daily, cyber security can’t be an afterthought. We place specialists who design strategies, monitor systems, and respond to incidents – giving businesses confidence that their assets, customers, and reputations are protected. From hands-on security analysts to senior CISOs, we cover the full spectrum of roles that keep organisations safe.

Executive Search

We take the time to understand strategy, team dynamics, and the outcomes you need, then map the market to find people who fit on every level. From Heads of Department through to CIOs and Directors, we recruit leaders who bring credibility, clarity, and the ability to deliver real change. Our process is structured, discreet, and built for long-term impact – because at this level, there’s no margin for error.

Testing & QA

Releases that go wrong can cost businesses time, money, and trust. That’s why testing and quality assurance are critical. We place professionals who build checks into every stage of development, from automated testing frameworks to user acceptance testing. Their work ensures software and systems are reliable before they ever reach the end user.

Design & Development

From creative design through to hands-on build, we recruit talent that brings ideas to life. Our network spans UI and UX designers, product designers, and developers across front-end, back-end, and full-stack. These professionals don’t just create visually impressive work – they deliver systems and experiences that function reliably in the real world.

Project & Product

From shaping strategy to delivering results, we connect businesses with the people who can lead from the front. Our product managers and owners set vision, prioritise effectively, and balance user needs with commercial outcomes. Alongside them, our project managers and programme leaders bring order to complexity – planning properly, managing risk, and ensuring change lands smoothly.

// THE TEAM

Recruiters who know their patch.

Behind every market we cover is a consultant who lives and breathes it. Our team isn’t built on generalists – each recruiter specialises in a specific sector, building networks, spotting trends, and speaking the same language as the people they work with.

That means when you talk to us about software engineering, cyber security, or data, you’re talking to someone who knows the detail of that world. Not just the job titles – the tools, the pressures, and the opportunities that define it.

It’s this depth that makes our searches sharper and our conversations more useful. We’re not here to push CVs across a desk. We’re here to connect you with the right people in the right way – and our team is the reason we can.
