Proudly based in Manchester but covering the whole of the UK; we work with companies to find their future leaders and work with leaders to find their future companies.

We've been building a reputation across our core disciplines of Product, Data & Engineering by living by our three core values:
- No Egos
- We Play The Long Game
- Making The Complex Simple

Rather than have a list of buzzwords which look nice on a marketing deck, we wanted clear values that would be genuinely represented in our recruitment process.

One thing we're proud of is how many of our candidates become our clients, a testimonial that we're doing the right things in the right way.
