The Future of Technical Recruiting Starts Here

Today, the recruiting industry is broken. There is a churn-and-burn mentality where long hours, brute force, and a profit-driven mindset is prioritised over deep expertise and targeted value creation. This leaves recruiters burned out, clients unimpressed, and candidates frustrated.

The good recruiters seek to find a way out, often leading them to internal careers where earning prospects are sacrificed for greater career fulfilment and the opportunity to grow expertise. Worst case? They leave the industry all together.

We have seen a wave of businesses attempt to address this over the years. The embedded talent model helped some way, but the big players prioritise capacity over capability, leading to extortionate monthly fees for inexperienced recruiters who themselves are rarely compensated even 20% of their charge-out fee.

This leads to a recruiting landscape that bleeds it's finest talent.

At The Tech Talent Co., we are flipping the script. We believe that the very best technical recruiters in industry should not be siloed to internal roles - they should be an external team for hire, delivering value to multiple high-impact companies and playing a holistic role within the talent ecosystem.

We're building a recruiting business that puts the recruiter experience at it's heart, in turn attracting the world's greatest recruiters who create an unreasonable level of value for the EMEA tech landscape.

Here's how we do it:

• Our compensation model ensures our recruiters earn their fair share. After all, it is the people on the ground who produce value.
• We've assembled world-class talent infrastructure, enabling recruiters to focus on what they do best. Low admin, no bs.
• We partner with the very best - Tier 1 VC's 7 & category-defining tech businesses.
• We offer an environment that encourages freedom, respect, and autonomy - empowering our team to do their best work.
• We focus on fairness, equity, and redefining value creation in the industry we love: technology.

The results?

Our recruiters outperform the rest, our clients dominate their markets, and our candidates make game-changing moves.

About us

In the future, we will be globally renowned as "the standard" of technical recruiting. Today, we are a small but highly skilled team that is making waves across EMEA. Our recruiters have worked at companies like Meta, Palantir, Improbable, Alibaba, Checkout, Deliveroo, and more.

This year, we've helped over 20 businesses reduce their time-to-hire, improve their quality of hire, and reduce their cost-of-hire. We offer a premium recruiting service across retained, embedded, and RPO; with leading tech businesses such as Synthesia.io relying on us to scale their engineering teams.

The Tech Talent Co. is the last recruiting role of your career. Although we are always learning and bettering ourselves as individuals, we're not a place to learn the basics - we're where experts come to apply their craft ruthlessly and produce extraordinary results.

Our team operates remotely by default, but we do meet in person on a monthly cadence and are planning a London office for those who prefer a hybrid set-up.

Here's what we care about:

• Producing high quality work that creates meaningful value.
• Working with the top 1% of talent and tech companies.
• Earning fair compensation for the value we produce.
• Collaborating with exceptional people to collectively raise the bar.
• Feeling respected by our colleagues, clients, and candidates.

• Building a category-defining business.

What's on offer

We operate with a "one team" structure. Clients and roles are shared transparently, and we deliver as a unified team. We only hire when we have enough high-quality work to ensure new hires hit the ground running. While BD is appropriately incentivised, it is not necessary nor is it encouraged.

Here's what you'll get:

• Compensation: £150,000 - £320,000 OTE, with no ceiling.
• Unlimited PTO: Recharge when you need it.
• Flexible Hours: We care about outcomes, not clocking in.
• Work From Anywhere: Remote-first.
• Private Healthcare & Dental: Fully covered, tier 1.
• Advanced Tools: LinkedIn Recruiter, Notion, AI tooling, Slack, G Suite, and more - no admin overhead!
• MacBook: Fully specced to support your workflow.
• The Future: As we scale, we plan to introduce a variety of additional benefits to further enhance the experience of working at The Tech Talent Co. Right now, our focus is on putting as much money in the pockets of our recruiters as possible, while ensuring we have sufficient resources to fuel the company's growth. As founders, we lead by example, taking a modest salary and limiting our dividends to just £1k per year - demonstrating our commitment to reinvesting in the business and prioritising our team.

We're focused on finding exceptional people, not making you jump through unnecessary hoops:

1. Intro Call: 45 minutes with Hayden Green (Co-Founder), remote.
