About us

Established in 2004 to provide a bespoke recruitment service to the deep tech sector we have over the years developed a real understanding of the sector, the culture, the employers and candidates.

This has enabled us to create a rich network of both including candidates who are not actively looking for a new job.

Unlike a traditional recruitment service, ours is more of a partnership and matchmaking service where we get to know the employer, the business and our candidates before putting them forward.

With recruitment becoming increasingly challenging for employers, we have developed a unique strategy and process to identify and source talented candidates in response.

  • Permanent placements down, vacancies down, pay pressures muted!

    The Royal Bank of Scotland Report on Jobs is compiled by S&P Global from responses to questionnaires sent to a panel of around 100 Scottish recruitment and employment consultancies. The report’s March figures show that demand for both permanent and temp workers deteriorated sharply and for the eighth successive month. Additionally, pressures on salaries and hourly wages were historically muted, the former recording the weakest increase in over three years.

  • A mix-up of communication in the chain of command

    I had a client once who needed to double their customer support team. The business was growing and had seen a surge in new customers.

  • Know what you need and don’t set the bar too high!

    Setting the bar too high misses out on great people, wastes time and money and delays projects.
