Executive search and recruitment in Manchester
Technology, data and leadership hiring for businesses in Manchester and across the North West.
Speak to our teamManchester has become the UK’s strongest technology and digital hub outside London. Tech scale-ups, financial and professional services firms, media and a growing number of London businesses with northern offices all compete for the same senior talent.
Salaries are closing the gap with London and hybrid work means candidates have more choice than ever. Good hires here come from knowing who is doing the work locally, and from a clear reason for them to move.

Roles we recruit in Manchester
Knowing the Manchester market
London pay, northern base
Many candidates can earn close to London salaries while staying in Manchester. Offers need to reflect that.
Hybrid changes the pool
Candidates across Leeds, Liverpool and Cheshire are in play if the working pattern is right.
Scale-up talent moves fast
Engineering and data leaders often have several conversations running. A slow process loses them.
Culture is a real deciding factor
Candidates here often choose on culture, flexibility and growth as much as base salary.
