Our Philosophy.

Tech hiring has changed. So have we.

AI can help. Automation can speed things up. But somewhere along the way, recruitment lost its human touch. Great candidates are being overlooked. Great companies are struggling to hire. And too often, it all feels transactional.

At Differential, we believe in doing things differently.

We combine 20 years of deep tech hiring expertise with a relationship-first approach and commercials that are fair, flexible, and built for trust. That means no junior recruiters, no generic CVs, and no disappearing acts after the hire.

We stay close. We move fast. We care about the outcome.

Because when you get the human part right, everything else follows.

Who we are.

We’ve spent over two decades immersed in recruitment, but our edge comes from how we’ve evolved. At Differential, we’re not just filling roles, we're rebuilding trust in how tech hiring works.

We partner with mission-led organisations and scaling tech teams to deliver smart, agile hiring solutions that prioritise people, not pipelines. No inflated fees, no disappearing acts, just deep expertise, clear communication, and results that stick.

Whether you're hiring a CyberSec Lead, a Programme Director, or a full CloudOps crew, we bring the insight, speed, and integrity that today’s hiring demands.

Let’s build the teams that move you forward.
