WHY JOIN US
Being in the industry since 2007, with a strong foothold as a global leader in the booming Data & AI market - we think we have something pretty unique to offer. We have created a business out of knowing exceptional talent when we see it.
People are our business and our exponential growth means we are always happy to hear from excellent recruiters looking to join us.

Perhaps it’s the incentives on offer like our bonus scheme, winners’ trips, lunch clubs and Rolex watches that take your fancy? But that’s not what really sets us apart.
Our established client and candidate database, alongside our brand reputation from a huge investment in Marketing, puts you in a great position to really earn the type of money you deserve.

Why recruitment and why us – let us know!
