The best technical people aren’t looking for you.
I find senior engineers, software leaders and specialists who don’t answer job adverts, don’t reply to agencies, and aren’t on the market. I learned how in a hiring environment hotter than the sun.
12 years hiring international technical teams from commercial software to scientific specialists at CERN.

The Problem
The people you want are already employed, doing well, and not thinking about you.
Reaching them isn’t a volume problem. It’s a knowing-who-they-are problem. Most agencies solve for the first and skip the second, which is why you get CVs instead of candidates.
Every week a key role sits open, the work doesn’t happen. That’s the cost, and it isn’t a recruitment cost.
How I work
- Brief. What the role actually is, and what good looks like. Not an intake form.
- Map. Where the talent sits: the companies, the teams, the names. You keep this whatever happens next.
- Reach. Direct, multimodal approaches to people who aren’t looking. Credible, because I understand the work.
- Manage. Screening through to offer. You evaluate. I handle the rest.
