Growing a dynamic digital team

We were the first recruitment company in Europe to serve the digital space, and we’re still the most trusted. We work fast, but with precision: balancing personalities and cultural profiles with technical skills and potential.

Building complete teams.

We craft digital teams with complementary skill-sets and compatible personalities, to build symbiotic relationships that help everyone thrive, and businesses meet their objectives.

Quality of hire; speed of process.

Our highly specialised teams get us to good people, fast. We recruit with a laser sharp focus – so the process at your end is streamlined, and you only meet the very best candidates.

Deep specialists.

We immerse ourselves in the disciplines we recruit for, and often attend industry events to get a deep understanding of candidate skill-sets. Our teams keep pace with rapid industry change, and the language of each role, so we can ask all the right questions.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

All of our consultants are DE&I trained too. We’ve seen the power of diverse workforces in practise: multiple perspectives create innovative teams that speak to a much broader audience.

How we’ll work together

Discovery

Getting to know your business:

We run short discovery sessions to get to know your business; your goals, the team’s needs.
We assess if the titles and skill-sets you’ve briefed in to us match your needs and ambitions.
If the brief needs redefining, we’ll do that together. We’ll work together on a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion strategy, and a reporting plan.
