About us

Established in 2004 to provide a bespoke recruitment service to the deep tech sector we have over the years developed a real understanding of the sector, the culture, the employers and candidates.

This has enabled us to create a rich network of both including candidates who are not actively looking for a new job.

Unlike a traditional recruitment service, ours is more of a partnership and matchmaking service where we get to know the employer, the business and our candidates before putting them forward.

With recruitment becoming increasingly challenging for employers, we have developed a unique strategy and process to identify and source talented candidates in response.

  • Great Technology Isn’t Enough Anymore!

    Across the UK’s photonics and semiconductor sectors, I’m seeing investment continue but investors are becoming much more focused on the journey from breakthrough technology to commercially scalable product.

  • Why Mentorship Matters in Photonics

    Photonics is one of the most complex and specialist areas of deep tech. Careers often span academia and industry, research timelines are long, and progression pathways are not always clearly defined.
