United States

Engineering talent,
carefully placed.

The US market moves fast, especially for senior engineering, AI, platform, and product roles. We help companies run focused searches without wasting interview time.

The Market

Hiring in the world's most competitive tech market.

The US has a large developer market, but senior and staff-level hiring is still difficult. Demand is especially strong in AI, platform engineering, and engineering leadership.

The companies that hire well move quickly, explain their engineering culture clearly, and know what "senior" means for their team. More CVs rarely solve the problem.

We are building our US client base with the same approach we use elsewhere: careful intake, focused search, and honest feedback.
