Role Overview
We seek a top-tier recruiter to lead complex technical hiring processes with high autonomy. Unlike typical agency roles focused on volume, this position demands deep talent advising skills to influence hiring decisions shaping companies that define the next decade.
Key Responsibilities

- Deliver evidence-based candidate evaluations to help clients make informed decisions.
- Challenge unclear briefs or inefficient hiring processes.
- Build lasting relationships with high-caliber technical talent rather than relying on superficial candidate pipelines.
- Contribute to the development of team systems, market intelligence, and best practices.
Candidate Profile
- Proven track record of sustained excellence in technical recruiting across elite agencies, executive search firms, or internal talent acquisition teams.
- Experience recruiting software engineers, technical leaders, or rare technical profiles for high-bar technology organizations.
- Strong judgment of technical talent that goes beyond keywords, reputations, or superficial interview performance.
- Trusted by demanding founders, hiring managers, and candidates.
- Successfully closed challenging candidates in competitive markets without resorting to pressure or misrepresentation.
- Managed complex searches efficiently and vigilantly.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
- Consistent top performer ready to move beyond current platforms to greater challenges.
- Values sound judgment, ownership, commercial insight, and precision above ego or theatrics.
Success Metrics
Success in this role is measured by the trust of founders, the high quality and impact of candidate submissions, and well-run transparent candidate experiences. You will rapidly develop market conviction and provide high-signal talent shortlists that materially strengthen client companies.
Compensation and Benefits
- On-target earnings range from £120,000 to £320,000 without cap.
- Access to exclusive premium hiring mandates from day one.
- No mandatory business development quotas, though relationship origination is rewarded.
- Flexible work hours and location emphasizing outcomes over clock time.

- Fully equipped with a MacBook for work.
- Direct and rapid access to company founders for swift decisions and honest feedback.
