Principal Technology Recruiter - Data

"Proactive and determined, as a Principal Recruiter you’ve built deep rooted relationships within your technical specialism with advocates who are introducing you to new clients. You don’t just work hard; you work smart and you’re consistently doing it to achieve high performance. You’re an integral part of the team and taking the lead on internal and external initiatives. You’ll be ready to manage a team if people management is your goal or remain a valuable individual contributor and core account manager. You’re a vital source of knowledge and someone that anyone can come to for advice and support."

We’ve helped start-ups to launch, scale-ups to build teams, and household names to transform their technology.

We’ve cultivated a grown-up, transparent environment & provide our teams with all the support they need to thrive. We’re now on the lookout for experienced, ambitious recruiters to join our Data team!
