Talent — For candidates
Your next opportunity should make sense—not just pay the bills.
Our background is software engineering, not recruitment. That changes what we ask you, and it changes what we tell you.
More than a resume
Skills matter. Context matters more.
These are the five things we are actually assessing in a conversation with you. None of them are about how your CV is formatted.
Technical capability
Whether you can actually do the work, not just name the tools.
Experience
The kinds of systems and problems you have already lived through.
Communication
How clearly you explain decisions, trade-offs and uncertainty.
Environment
Whether the way the team works is a place where you will do well.
Motivation
Why this role, and what would make you stay.
The objective isn't to send you more resumes. It's to introduce you to people worth meeting.
How we work with you
Four things we commit to.
A conversation first
We talk to you before your details go anywhere. No exceptions.
The real description
What the role actually involves day to day, including the parts that are not attractive.
A straight answer
If a role is not a fit, or you are not right for it, we will tell you rather than go quiet.
Your consent each time
Your CV is not sent to a company without you knowing which company it is.
A note on honesty
We would rather tell you a role is wrong for you than talk you into it.
A placement that does not work costs everyone. If we think a role is a poor fit, or that your expectations and the market are some distance apart, you will hear that from us directly and early.
Where to start
Not seeing a role? Introduce yourself anyway.
We do not publish a job board. Roles change constantly and most of the work we do is for positions that are never advertised, so the useful first step is a conversation rather than a listing.
We don't just recruit into technology. We understand it.
Tell us what you are looking for and what you would rather avoid.
