Services

Three engagement models. One specialist running your search.

Not every hire needs the same arrangement. A single senior engineer, an urgent contractor and a year of scaling are three different problems. Below is how each model works and who it suits, so you can pick the right fit before we talk.

Permanent

What it isA committed search for a permanent hire, run to completion. Engineers and product engineers through to Engineering Managers, VPs and CTOs.
Best forThe hires you need to get right rather than fast. Core team and leadership.
What you getA shortlist of three to five pre-screened people, structured first interviews and the offer managed through to a signed start date.

Contract

What it isInterim engineers on a day rate, usually live within 48 hours of the brief.
Best forA gap to plug now, a delivery deadline, or cover while a permanent search runs.
What you getVetted contractors who can start quickly, screened to the same bar as a permanent hire.

Embedded

What it isI integrate with your team on a monthly subscription and run hiring from inside the business, not as an outside agency.
Best forScaleups hiring several engineers at once who want a true partner and predictable cost.
What you getA dedicated, on-tap recruitment function without the cost of building one in-house.

I run searches on an exclusive or retained basis.

I cap the number of searches I take on at once, on purpose. It is the only way to give each one what it actually needs: real market mapping, personal outreach, and candidates who are managed properly all the way to a signed offer. Exclusive and retained mandates are what make that possible, and they are a big part of why the hires my clients make tend to stick.

For leadership, confidential or business-critical roles, that usually means a retained search. If you want a recruiter juggling forty roles and blasting CVs, I am not your person. If you want one search run properly, I am.

What founders and engineering leaders say.

"I partnered with Arjun at Henry Schein One to hire critical Engineering Leads and Senior Software Engineers. He was exceptionally diligent in the intake, helping clarify competency-based profiles, and built a targeted pipeline quickly. He consistently surfaced high-calibre candidates, ran thoughtful shortlists, and kept us engaged with the candidate through the process. Thanks to his structured approach and crisp communication, we made confident, timely hires of strong engineers and team leads. I'd work with Arjun again."

"Arj was fantastic in supporting the team to find an Elixir contractor. Throughout the whole process he was able to support and advise the team, which allowed us to offer a candidate in less than two weeks of our initial outreach. Given the complexity of our search, we have been incredibly impressed with the service provided and the efficiency with which the process was handled."

"I engaged Arjun to hire an Ember.js engineer at Henry Schein One. Ember.js is a niche skill and we had set a very high bar for competency. He quickly grasped our requirements and sourced strong candidates, not just from the UK but internationally. The engineers we hired through him have been excellent additions to my team. I highly recommend Arjun for his attention to detail, strong network and ability to act swiftly when the situation demands."
