Our Services

Permanent Recruitment

We know how important it is to source the most appealing and well-matched opportunities for candidates. Our permanent recruitment team draws upon a wealth of combined experience in the technology recruitment sector to seek out roles which are carefully tailored to the individual. We represent a select portfolio of clients, ranging from boutique start-ups and FinTechs through to large-scale global organisations.

Contract Recruitment

Contract recruitment opportunities can be extremely beneficial for both candidates and clients. The companies we work with understand that contract consultancy work can sometimes be the most effective solution to achieving milestones and goals, while it can provide candidates with more flexibility and variety. We have the back office support and IR35 expertise to ensure our clients and contractors are connected, onboarded and managed seamlessly.

This service is exclusively offered to clients we work with on a contingency basis. These clients understand the high quality of service we deliver and want to extend that collaboration, with Search Technology providing a dedicated full-time, onsite recruitment resource. Through this relationship we work as an extension of internal teams, which enables us to provide a great ROI for a reduced cost.

Testimonials

It's an absolute pleasure working so closely with Kane on all things hiring-related. Kane possesses a fantastic ability to understand any job specification fully, and has huge flexibility and patience with varying recruitment processes. Kane is also effortless when it comes to top notch communication, being approachable and down to earth whilst offering a first class recruitment service. He is open to feedback and always strives to dig deep to fully understand the essentials we require in candidate profiles. He ensures that everyone is on the same page and his market expertise are second to none. He has often advised me on approaches and different ways of thinking. Kane provides essential insights into the tech market and works tirelessly to ensure candidates are well looked after and well prepared. He has forged a strong partnership with us and it is one that is highly valued and trusted.

Sophie Stevens

Lead Recruiter at Unlikely AI

Zak (and the team at Search Technology) have established themselves as our key tech and product recruitment partner. Over the past couple of years Zak has demonstrated that we can fully trust him and the team to understand where we are as a business, our open roles and represent these authentically to potential candidates. In doing so, Zak is able to send a few well-aligned candidates over numerous more speculative cv's and always maintains good communication and candidate experience. I look forward to continuing to work with him.

Amy Darlow

VP People and Talent at Seldon

Dean brought me the two most interesting positions out of any other recruiter who contacted me. He saw me through the interview and offer negotiation/acceptance processes with attentiveness and a friendly manner. Dean also helped accelerate the interview process by communicating with the company on my behalf before I had to have a medical procedure done. Would definitely recommend working with him!

Allyson Pemberton

Ex-Google Software Engineer

Zak is a great partner for recruitment needs. He was able to identify key hires for the business and match strong profiles for the respective roles. His communication style is direct and effective.I highly recommend Zak as the go to person for your recruitment needs.

Harjah Singh

Founder & CPO @ Shares

Kane helped me find the perfect role for me when other recruiters were coming up short. He’s genuinely awesome to work because he’s looking to build a long term relationship with you instead of trying to make some quick money. I really look forward to working with Kane in the future when looking for my next role. Thanks Kane.

Joseph Siddal

Senior Software Engineer, Ex Palantir / Ex-Man AHL

I've worked with Zak a couple of times throughout my career, both as a candidate and as a hiring manager. Zak and the team made sure to find high quality candidates for me, and support them through the interview process very professionally. If you haven't worked with Zak or Search Technology before, I'd highly recommend that you do so, whether searching for your next role or searching for candidates.

Dan Mackenzie

Product Manager @ Google, Ex-Altruistiq, Ex-F1 Engineer

Daniel was supportive, professional, helpful and friendly throughout the interview process and gave really quick feedback. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for an informative and supportive recruitment consultant.

Jemma Hussein Allen

Technical Lead @ LimeJump

Kane is one of the best recruiters I've worked with because he truly cares about matching the right candidate to the right role.In the couple of years that I've known him, Kane has taken the time to get to know my interests and what I look for in a role. As a result, he's been able to take care in presenting suitable and compelling opportunities when they arise. He provides plenty of background info on companies, is open to feedback, and never pressures one towards a position, especially when it ends up not feeling like the right fit.His responsive, human-oriented approach is a pleasure to work with.

Alexander Rakowski

Senior Software Engineer @ Seldon AI

Zak was a great to interact with! He put me in touch with a really high quality company, and walked me through every step of the process. I'm thankful to him for helping me land my dream job at a super exciting startup! Zak was so great at touching base at every step and being very communicative. On top of all that, Zak is super friendly and personable and it was always a pleasure to speak to him.

Hannia

Product Lead @ Unlikely AI, Former Google

Search Tech has a real knack for rooting out excellent talent. I've worked with them to fill a number of roles and the calibre of candidates provided is always excellent - arguably too good sometimes, it makes it very difficult to pick between them! On top of that Kane is a lovely guy and good judge of character - when he tells me about the candidates he's found I know I can trust his judgement about their fit for my team

Alex Woodham

CTO, Net Purpose

Tony came to me with an outstanding opportunity and guided me throughout the entire interview process. He is a friendly and understanding person and helped me to perform at my best at every step. I was always informed of exactly where the process was and the whole process was carried out very swiftly. Appreciate the effort he put in to helping me find a great new job, thanks Tony!

Faizaan Sakib

Software Engineer @ PolyAI

Throughout the process Daniel was highly communicative and transparent, which I am sure was a large part of the successful result we achieved together. I would highly recommend Daniel to both individuals and businesses looking for an effective and persistent recruitment partner.

Robert Nelson

Head of Engineering @ Zilch (Unicorn start-up)

A big thanks to Callum who helped me secure my first lead role which I'm absolutely loving! His professionalism, quick turnarounds and knowledge of the company in question were super helpful and make sure I knew I was starting my new role at a place that was a great fit for me. Thanks again Callum

Rob Calcroft

Lead Front End Engineer @ Liveramp

Dean helped me to find the perfect role for me. He was friendly, honest and professional throughout my interview and hiring process. I would definitely recommend working with him.

Emma-Ashley Liles

Tech Lead

I have worked with Zak on multiple occasions and each time he has been able to successfully find our team the right candidate for the role. He is able to grasp the requirements for the role very well and always provides candidates that meet the criteria and fit the team culture. Not only is he an excellent recruiter, but he is also a real pleasure to work with and an overall great guy!

Levi Epstein

Co -Founder at Inflow

Kane was a pleasure to work with. From the very beginning he was honest, knowledgeable and detail-oriented in every aspect. At each stage, he was quick to update me on progress and any details regarding next steps, all the while being as friendly and as supportive as ever. This made the recruitment process like nothing I've ever experienced before. He truly is the best at what he does!

Austin Kitololo

Data Engineer - Statistics & Modelling at Vortexa

Making the leap to a new role is never easy, and I really appreciate all of Zak's help in landing my latest role. Zak took time listening to what I was (and wasn't) looking for, and over the following weeks only present options that were a great fit. He always provided invaluable background insight as preparation for interviews, and refreshingly I never felt pressured in accepting anything where I wasn't 100% certain the move was right for me. I'll certainly be recommending him in the future.

Ron Carey

Head of Product at Yapily

Over the course of 6 months, during which Covid-19 struck, I have encountered many recruiters. Zak is simply one of the best. There have been opportunities brought to me by other recruiters that have (understandably) fallen through at the last hurdle for many different reasons and I have found it bewildering how suddenly communication has been completely dropped. This has been the polar opposite from Zak. He is a highly personable and likable person and is not afraid of the 'difficult' conversation. As it is I have landed a job which is a great fit for me and this is due to Zak really taking the time to understand my journey, goals and ambitions. Always available and always providing constructive feedback. I would recommend to anyone that asks, and also to those that don't. Keep it up Zak

Daniel Wallace

Chief Product and Technology Officer at Rota.

I really enjoyed working with Kane and would do so again both as a candidate or trying to fill a role. I felt he was being very transparent throughout, really made an effort to understand what would constitute a good fit and accordingly provided highly relevant suggestions.

Alexander Schmolck

Modeldrive, Ex, Smarkets, ThoughtMachine & Google

Search Technology has been an excellent talent partner to us as we scale, helping us to meet our ambitious technical hiring targets. Search technology has consistently provided well prepared, high calibre candidates that match our talent needs.

Andrew Good

Senior Talent Acquisition Manager at Vortexa

Having previously worked with Search Technology as a hiring manager, it was a no brainer to reach out to them when it came time to find my next role. Working with Zak was an absolute pleasure - he went the extra mile to really understand what I was looking for, and found the dream role for me. Throughout the process he was always available, transparent and proactive. A standout experience really!

Aron Kazay

Product Manager at Altruistiq

“I can’t recommend Dean enough. He really takes his job to the next level. Throughout the process he has been completely transparent about the job opportunity at hand, explained everything in detail and gave me feedback every step of the way. Maybe I had particularly poor experiences with recruiters in the past, but honestly I believe this is how it should be done. Thank you Dean!”

Radu Ghitescu

Senior Software /ML Engineer

Very good industry knowledge and placed me at a very good fit after just one introduction conversation. Especially I am impressed with Search Technology’s ability to separate high level information (which they use to find good matches and gain good insight) from deeper knowledge which is then left to discuss directly with the companies. Would definitely recommend for other python developers (or other coders)

Ronald Smits

Senior Software Engineer

“Dean has recommended a dream position for me and ensured the interview and negotiation process went super smoothly. Very to-the-point and professional approach. Thank you!”

Konstantin Yegupov

Senior Fullstack Engineer - Ex Google, Ex-Palantir

I've worked with Search over the last 12 months recruiting product and design specialists for our Global Product team focused on building out our strategic technology platform.Zak has been a fantastic partner to work with. He combines a great knowledge of the Product space with a large and carefully nurtured network of specialists in the London and UK ecosystem. With a great knack of understanding our overarching strategy and requirements, he's not only sourced great talent for us, but provided crucial advice and recommendations that have helped immensely.I've no hesitation in recommending Search Technology as a search and recruitment partner and look forward to a long and productive relationship in the future.

Andrew Considine

CPO, Innovation Group

Ron Carey

Head of Product, Yapily

Dean is the best recruitment consultant I have met. Incredibly talented, starting from the roles he outlined to me and ending up with the whole recruitment process, he never missed a follow-up call and was very supportive during the process! It was an absolute pleasure to work with Dean.

Anton Le

Senior Software Engineer, Vortexa

Kane is an absolute expert at sourcing tech teams. Whether it be a candidate's market or an employer's, he's consistently delivered top tier candidates to Rota over several years of working together (particularly when many other agencies were unable to). Aside from finding excellent skillset matches, he's also brilliant at finding the right cultural and team fit which have been instrumental in loyalty and retention.

Kevin Lindermann

CPO

Kane is one of very few tech & product recruiters I’d recommend working with, he understands how Internal recruitment teams function and when needed, delivers very high quality candidates, who’re committed to our interview process and fully understand the opportunity they are applying for. Highly recommended Kane / Search Technology

Victor Koleade

Head of Recruitment, Satellite Vu

The whole process with Zak was very smooth and painless. Zak's ability to understand and synthesise what I wanted from my next role really stood him apart from other recruiters I have worked with. As a result Zak was able to match me with somewhere I really enjoy working! Throughout the interview process Zak was incredibly supportive and a great conduit between myself and Yapily - resulting in a smooth interview process and a short time between interview and offer. Overall I'd really recommend Zak to anyone looking for a new role

Jamie Sims

Product Manager

I recently had the pleasure to work with Dean, who executes talent search the way it should be, precise and with genuine care about the process, candidates and organisations. He clearly understands the tech market and is an expert in matching the right candidate with the appropriate position. He has a keen eye both on placements and helping executives find talent to streamline quickly the needs of an organisation. Dean has excellent people skills and can handle himself in various scenarios, which is commendable. I highly recommend him

Victoror Jansson

CTO

Search Technology was extremely helpful and professional during my job search. Firstly, Dean and I had a very clear and open conversation about what I was looking for and my skill set, which allowed him to make sure he would only send roles that were right for me.Dean was always open with his communication and easily reachable to make sure I was never left in the dark during the process.Overall, Dean’s hard work and knowledge of the industry helped me get a new job at a very competitive salary. If you’re looking for a recruiter that will find a job that’s right for you and will really sell you to the companies you’re applying for, Mr Morgan is your man!

Tolo Unasanya

Java Data Team Lead @LiveRamp

Kane has been great to work with. All the roles he sent my way matched my skill set and were generally very interesting to me, which only goes to show that he was really listening and understood what I was looking for in a job. He also made sure I had all the information I needed at all stages of the interview, and was always happy to help if I had any questions.

Andra Popescu

Software Engineer @ NetPurpose

Zak takes a personable and professional approach to his work. The first time we spoke, it was an general introductory call. I was surprised when he reached out more than 6 months later and had thought of me for a role he thought could be a good match. During the interview, negotiation and on-boarding period, Zak was always checking up to see how things were going, quick to respond, helpful and worked with all parties involved to find an agreement that suited and benefited all. I have recommended him to other friends before and would reach out to Zak again in the future when exploring for new opportunities.
