We're a specialist tech recruitment agency built around one idea: recruiters who know the market get better results.
Our team works across leadership, software engineering, data, cloud and product roles, and we'd rather do fewer placements well than chase volume. Long-term relationships over one-off deals, every time.
From client, reviewing Ryan Collett, filled vacancies
Ryan was excellent! His market knowledge meant he could consult on the roles and provided a shortlist of excellent candidates! Communication was brilliant throughout and we managed to secure our no.1 choice within budget.
Clear about the role and company before putting me forward, and asked good questions to check it was actually what I wanted rather than just filling a vacancy.
We moved to using Amberly exclusively after her first two placements worked out well. She understands our hiring bar and doesn't send candidates just to hit numbers.
Head of Engineering, Asset Management in Greater Manchester
From candidate, reviewing Ryan Collett, interviewed for role
Got me an interview quickly but feedback afterwards was a bit slow and I had to chase. Ryan was pleasant to deal with, just could have communicated timelines better.
Amberly took time to understand our tech stack properly rather than just matching keywords. Good early engagement.

Responsive and easy to brief. Understood exactly what we needed for the payments team.
Engineering Manager, Payments in Greater London
From client, reviewing Ryan Collett, became exclusive supplier
We've used Ryan exclusively for our engineering hires this year. Consistent quality and he knows our business well enough now that briefs take five minutes.
VP Engineering, Wealth Management in Greater London
From client, reviewing Ryan Collett, filled vacancies
Filled two roles for us in a month, both strong hires. Communicates well and doesn't oversell candidates.
Really thorough prep, including likely technical questions specific to the company. Gave me honest feedback after the interview and helped me think through my answer to a tricky question I'd fumbled. Whatever happens with this role, the process itself was well handled.

Ryan understood our stack and filled a tricky backend role quickly. No time wasted on irrelevant CVs.
Head of Engineering, Asset Management in Greater Manchester
Amberly was straightforward about salary and expectations from the first call, which saved a lot of back and forth later. The whole process from first chat to offer took under three weeks. Would happily use her again.
QA Engineer, Payments in Sheffield
From candidate, reviewing Ryan Collett, submitted for role
Ryan reached out with a role that actually matched my experience, not a generic pitch. He walked me through the company and what they were looking for before submitting my CV, so I knew what I was going into. Made the whole process feel a lot less like a numbers game.
Data Engineer, Insurance in Sheffield
From candidate, reviewing Ryan Collett, placed in role
Ryan knew the payments space well enough to talk specifics rather than buzzwords. Process was quick, offer came through within two weeks of my first interview, and he checked in after I started to make sure everything was as expected.
Amberly understood the role and the market far better than any recruiter I'd spoken to before. She was honest when a role wasn't right for me instead of pushing it anyway, which built a lot of trust early on. When she did put me forward for something, it was because she genuinely thought it was a fit. Couldn't be happier with where I ended up.
Data Scientist, Fintech in Greater Manchester
From candidate, reviewing Ryan Collett, placed in role
Ryan placed me in a role that ticked every box I'd mentioned in our first call, not just the ones that were easy to fill. He kept me updated at every stage and never went quiet, which after some bad experiences with other recruiters was genuinely refreshing. Three months in and the role is exactly as described. Would recommend him to any developer looking to move.
I wasn't actively job hunting when Amberly first got in touch, but she took the time to explain the role and why she thought it suited me rather than just sending a job spec. That approach made me actually consider it. Ended up going through the full process and accepting an offer that was a genuine step up. She stayed in touch throughout, which a lot of recruiters don't bother with.
Backend Developer, Fintech in York
From candidate, reviewing Ryan Collett, interviewed for role
Good prep before the interview and honest about my chances. Didn't get the role but I'd use him again for the next one.
Talked me through the company culture and what the interview process would look like before submitting me. Felt well prepared going in.

MD, Accounting & Finance in Birmingham
From candidate, reviewing Ryan Collett, placed in role
I'd been putting off moving jobs for a while because I hate the recruitment process, but Ryan made it painless. He was upfront about salary expectations from the start, prepped me properly for two rounds of interviews, and negotiated a better offer than I expected. Six weeks into the new role and it's a genuinely good fit.
