How every search runs
The reason a 21-day median and a 90% shortlist-to-hire rate repeat rather than luck out: the same four phases run on every search.
A working session to pin the brief, the must-haves, the comp band and what good looks like before any outreach begins.
Targeted headhunting against a mapped market, drawing on a network of 17,500+ senior engineers across three regions.
A calibrated shortlist, usually three CVs or fewer, with the interview loop managed to keep momentum.
Offers pre-closed and structured to hold against counter-offers, so acceptances land and start dates stick.
Tooling & TechOps
Much of the speed comes from the operation behind the search: proprietary data, AI-assisted tooling and delivery infrastructure we build and run in-house.
Salary benchmarks rebuilt every quarter from live roles and real accepted offers, not stale survey data. Every brief is priced against the market as it is now, by discipline, seniority and city.
Our own tools sharpen every search: an AI job-description and interview-scorecard builder that turns a rough brief into a calibrated spec, plus live compensation benchmarking by discipline, seniority and city.
A structured pipeline with interview booking wired straight to live calendars keeps a search moving and stops strong candidates going cold mid-process.
For contract engagements we run the full lifecycle: payroll, insurances, timesheets, renewals and security-clearance checks, so your team gets the engineer without the overhead.
