Roles we specialise in

Engineering hiring manager frustrated with generic recruiters

Sound Familiar?

Generic recruiters send CVs that don't match — they can't tell React from Angular, or Kubernetes from a spreadsheet
Candidates arrive to interviews unable to explain their stack choices or discuss architecture trade-offs
You spend weeks writing a JD, briefing agencies, and reviewing irrelevant profiles
Hires churn after 3 months because the technical fit wasn't properly assessed
Roles sit open for months while your product backlog and infra debt pile up

Engineers Recruiting Engineers

We build and ship software for a living. That means we read your JD like an engineer, ask the right technical questions, and send you candidates who can actually do the job.

Real Technical Screening

We know the difference between someone who has "used React" and someone who understands the rendering model — and between "knows Kubernetes" and someone who operates it in production. Our screening filters for depth, not keyword matching.

AI-Powered Matching

Our proprietary platform uses AI to match candidate profiles against job requirements — scoring skills, experience, location, and rate fit before human review.

Active Engineering Network

15+ years in DevOps and platform engineering gives us a live network of practitioners across EU & UK. We reach candidates no job board can.

Fast, No Noise

First shortlist in 5–7 business days. We send 3 strong candidates, not 15 average ones. Your time is better spent on interviews than filtering CVs.

We coordinate interviews, gather feedback, and help you close the right candidate. Offer negotiation support included.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's your fee structure?
Contingency search is typically 15–20% of first-year salary, paid only on successful hire. Retained search is split into three stages. Contract placements use a daily-rate margin. We're transparent from day one.
What's your placement guarantee?
3 months for contingency roles, 6 months for retained. If the hire leaves within that window, we re-run the search at no additional cost.
Do you work with remote roles?
Yes. Most of our placements are remote-first or hybrid. We have candidates across EU & UK and can source for specific timezone requirements.
How is this different from other tech recruiters?
We are engineers. We built and ran production infrastructure for 15+ years. We read your JD technically, screen candidates technically, and won't waste your time with irrelevant profiles.
