Talent

The right people, in the right roles, from day one

Most technology projects don't fail because of the technology.

They fail because the people running them don't have the authority to make decisions, the skills to make the right ones, or enough of both at the right moment.

We can put that right.

Tech Leadership 

If your organisation needs a CTO, a Head of Engineering, or a Senior Architect, permanently, on an interim basis, or to cover a gap, we can place one. We place people who’ve built and run technology teams in regulated industries. They know what good looks like because they've delivered it.We work with private equity portfolios that need technology leadership installed quickly after acquisition, with public sector bodies that need credible senior hires, and with growing businesses that are ready to professionalise their technology function but aren't sure where to start.

The people we place are accountable. They own the outcome, not just the role.

Tech TeamPlanning

Before you hire, you need to know what you're hiring for. Most organisations find that harder than it sounds. Job descriptions get written to fill a vacancy rather than solve a problem. Teams end up with the wrong shape for where the business is going.We work with leadership teams to get that right; mapping your current capability against your delivery roadmap, identifying where the gaps are, and designing a team structure that will actually work. That means deciding what to build in-house, what to outsource, and what to automate, before you spend money on headcount.This isn't a recruitment pitch. It's a planning exercise, and we do it to ensure talent is never a blocker to delivery.

Staff Augmentation

When you need more engineers, you need them now not in three months after a recruitment process. We provide Senior Engineers, Architects, and Delivery Leads who can join an existing team and be productive fast.

Every engagement is led from the UK. Our engineers come from our own network, and our offshore teams are trained to the same standards. You get the right skill at the right cost, with full visibility of who is doing what.

We've done this for IRIS Software Group, DWF, Pinergy, and others. The work is already in production.
