Testimonials

Dean has done a great job working with us to help build out our team. We work with a very small and select group of recruiters, and Dean has been key to us.

Eiso Kant

CTO & Co-Founder, Poolside

Oliver has rich, deep connections with a variety of firms. He knows what he's doing. When he says he knows some firm/team well, he usually really does, and in such cases the firms usually decided to give me at least an initial conversation very shortly after he sent my profile to them. Oliver is super responsive, in many of the cases if it's not in his regular sleeping hours, he responded to me like real-timely. Oliver is very professional as a headhunter, as he follows up with the cases very firmly and pro-actively. He showed his good care to the feedback of each interview conversation, and would like to discuss with me for a long time either over the phone or a video call.

Chuanyou Li

Dean was incredibly helpful during my job search and a pleasure to work with. He found interesting roles for me that really suited my experience well. He saw me through the whole hiring process including help with interview preparation and discussing feedback with me afterwards.Dean was always very friendly, professional and supportive and I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a new role!

Sophie Stevens

Head of Talent, Unlikely AI

I had of pleasure of working with Oliver on different quant researcher roles, and I couldn't be happier with his approach. He is highly knowledgeable about the space, proactive and detail oriented. What stood out the most from other agencies was his constant updates and close communication throughout the entire process.

Dina Shokanova

Head of Recruitment, Pinely

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, Seldon AI

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

Unlikely AI, Ex-Google Software Engineer

Search Technology helped me find the perfect role for me when other recruiters were coming up short. Genuinely awesome to work because they are looking to build a long term relationship with you instead of trying to make some quick money. I really look forward to working with them in the future.

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

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 & CP, Shares

From the client’s perspective, we're very pleased with Oliver's work. We’ve been working together for a year, & he has consistently provided some of the best services we’ve experienced from a recruitment agency. Oliver is always on top of his game, sharing the best candidates with us, offering timely feedback, supporting both his candidates & us along the way. He has introduced the most interesting candidates in the industry. We've hired one of our senior researchers with Oliver's help & recently offered one of the top-performers from a Tier-1 firm. Additionally, Oliver has visited our office in Amsterdam, met our team in person & he had multiple calls with our shareholders & hiring managers. This has allowed him to gain a thorough understanding of our company’s culture, atmosphere, & requirements that we have. If you’re considering working with him, I firmly believe he will provide exceptional service as a recruiter, support you throughout the entire process, & help build a long-lasting professional relationship.

Dina Shokanova

Senior Recruiter responsible for research hires, Pinely Trading

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, Ex-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

Dr 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)

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, Vortexa

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.

Dr Alexander Schmolck

Modeldrive, Ex, Smarkets, ThoughtMachine & Google

I had an amazing experience working with Luchele, a highly competent recruiter with deep expertise working with companies on cutting-edge AI projects. From the very beginning, Luchele was thorough and professional—she asked me insightful questions related to the specific skills required for the position and gradually introduced me to the company and its culture. She was incredibly supportive, keeping me well-informed about how things were progressing, ensuring I felt prepared at every step. When I received the offer, she not only communicated the good news but also provided me with clear info regarding the visa process, which was extremely helpful. I’m thrilled to be working at IRIS Audio, conducting research I’m passionate about in a highly collaborative and innovative environment. Luchele’s vision that I would be a great fit for the role was spot on, and her ability to align my skills and interests with the job profile made all the difference. I highly recommend Luchele and Search Technology to anyone in my network who is seeking a precise, well-managed recruitment process and looking for roles in advanced technology sectors.

Emilian Postolache

Senior AI Research Scientist, IRIS Audio

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

Talent Acquisition Manager, Vortexa

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

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.
