Team Augmentation & Recruitment
Embedded engineers and specialists to plug a capability gap now, or full-time hires vetted by people who've actually done the job — matched by a team that builds and runs tech businesses itself.
The problem
Most tech recruitment is run by people who have never worked inside a tech business, technical or commercial. The result is a pipeline optimised for volume and polish: candidates who interview well but whose actual skills were never tested against the work, whether that's writing code, running a sales cycle or managing an operations function.
In regulated or complex environments, a bad hire isn't just a wasted salary. It's a delivery or commercial risk that surfaces months later, when it's expensive to unwind.
We build, sell and run tech products and teams ourselves. We know what “good” actually looks like across engineering, product, operations and sales, because we've done those roles.
What you get
- ✓Embedded engineers and specialists who can start fast, for short-term project cover or a longer-term capability gap
- ✓Candidates assessed by people who've done the job, not just screened against keywords
- ✓Scenarios built around how your team actually works, whether that's engineering, product, operations or commercial
- ✓Full-time placements, matched for long-term fit across engineering, sales, operations and other tech-business roles
- ✓A shortlist you can trust, so your own team's interview time isn't spent filtering noise
- ✓Support getting a placed hire or embedded specialist up to speed fast, not ramping alone
- ✓Full-time, contract or interim, built around speed and flexibility rather than the timeline of a traditional search
How we work with you on people
Three ways in, from an embedded specialist starting this week through to a permanent hire fully up to speed.
Team Augmentation
Embedded engineers and specialists dropped into your team to close a delivery gap now, short-term project cover or a longer-term capability hole, matched by people who've actually worked inside teams like yours.

Full-time placements sourced and matched for long-term fit across engineering, product, operations and commercial roles, with role specs written alongside you so your own interview time isn't spent filtering noise.

Support getting a placed hire up to speed fast, so they're contributing to real work in weeks, not months.
Find out moreThe hard part isn't finding candidates. It's finding people who understand what “done” means in a governance-first environment. Audit trails. Operational ownership. Evidence-ready handovers.
Most candidates don't think that way on day one. We source and place specialists who already get it. That cuts your ramp time and reduces the risk of delivery teams inheriting unmaintainable systems further down the line.
Common scenarios
Where we typically help
You need capacity now, not in eight weeks
A permanent search takes months you don't have. We embed specialists directly in your team for project cover or a capability gap, then step back once it's closed or transition into a permanent search if the need turns out to be longer-term.
You keep hiring the CV, not the person who can do the job
Generalist agencies pass through people who interview well, whatever the role. We assess candidates the way we'd assess someone joining our own team, whether that's an engineer, an account exec or an ops lead.
You're hiring for a role that's core to the business, not a quick fix
Full-time hires across engineering, commercial and operational functions, vetted against the same bar we'd hold our own team to, not just availability.
Hire the person who can actually do the work
Tell us the role and the team it sits in. We'll tell you honestly whether we're the right people to find your next hire, before anything is agreed.
