Permanent placement
Targeted search for hard-to-find technology roles, from individual contributors to leaders.
Overview
Permanent hires build the lasting capability and institutional knowledge your organization depends on. For scarce AI, data, cloud and engineering roles, a job posting is rarely enough. We run targeted searches that reach experienced professionals who are not actively looking.
Each search starts with a detailed brief: the work, the team, the skills that truly matter and what success looks like after the first year. We then search our network and the wider market, approach candidates directly and assess them through practitioner-led technical interviews and structured behavioral conversations before you see a profile.
We present a focused shortlist with clear assessment notes, coordinate interviews and feedback, and support offer negotiation and onboarding. For leadership roles, such as heads of data, AI or engineering, we add deeper referencing and market insight on compensation and role design. Throughout, we represent your organization professionally to candidates, because the hiring experience shapes how the market sees you.

Questions we often hear
How are permanent placement fees structured?
Permanent placements are typically charged as a one-time fee linked to the role and agreed before the search begins. For senior or retained searches, the fee may be staged across milestones.
Do you place technology leaders as well as individual contributors?
Yes. We search for roles ranging from engineers and data scientists to architects, heads of data or AI, and engineering leaders.
