Testimonials
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
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
I would like to recommend Tony as a very helpful and persistent recruiter. He's not only finding interesting projects with good challenges but also keep in touch actively which helps to not lose focus and to do the best to achieve interview process success.Among different recruiters I've contacted for a month while looking for a new position, he was the only one pro-active and I appreciate that. I'm sure that Tony is a great professional in technical recruiting highly skilled in make the right things done in time.
Vladimir Rapatski
Senior Engineer @ Stealth Start-up
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.

Ron Carey

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
Search Technology made my job search very pleasant and easy. He simplified the complex recruitment process in a way that was beneficial for all parties and well as frequently keeping me updated with the status of my application. He was really transparent also and I got the sense he genuinely wanted to select the position that was suited to me. I would definitely message again if I ever look for a new role!
Jordan
Software Engineer, Partners Capital LLP
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.
