About us

Based in Brighton, European Tech Recruit has firmly established its reputation in the tech recruitment sector since its inception in 2009. From semiconductors to AI, our track record showcases over a decade of pairing top tech talent with game-changing roles worldwide.

As the technology sector evolves, so do we. We adapt, grow, and continuously stay ahead of the curve, helping clients globally realise their ambitions.

Our mission is to accelerate technological progress by efficiently matching top-tier talent with groundbreaking tech projects.

Our Ethos

No empty promises

We believe that overpromising is the bane of recruitment. Integrity and realistic expectations have always formed the foundation of our service. Our honest approach has enabled us to build trust and form genuine, long-lasting relationships with hundreds of candidates and clients, many of whom have been our loyal customers for many years.

Transparency & accountability

Open communication, regular updates, and clear reports are integral to our services. With us, you will never be left in the dark. Guided by moral principles of responsibility, accountability, and transparency, we are committed to delivering exactly what we promise.

Collaboration over competition

Our unique approach to researching and sourcing creates an atmosphere where creativity and collaboration thrive. Whether you are a job seeker or client, you will benefit from our team's combined knowledge and synergy.

DIVERSITY MATTERS

We value diversity for its unique perspectives and contributions to innovation. Given that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) present significant challenges in the tech industry, our mission is to champion these principles.

Internally, we proudly maintain 60% of women in our top management, 44% women in total, and 36% ethnic minorities. This commitment is reflected in our placements, with 45% being ethnic minorities.

Our achievements have been recognised with honours, including the TITAN Business Awards, where we clinched a Gold award for Women in Business and another Gold for Achievement in DE&I. Additionally, we have been shortlisted by Recruiter Awards in the category of DE&I Service Excellence.

GIVING BACK

Here at European Tech Recruit,
we proudly support a number
of different charities.

One of our most meaningful partnerships is with Brighton’s Rockinghorse Children’s Charity. We enjoy fundraising for them during company events, such as Bake Offs and pool tournaments.

We also care deeply about the environment and work closely with Recorra, national experts in recycling, winning awards for our efforts two years in a row.

But that's not all. We're committed to supporting the LGBTQ+ community and creating an inclusive environment.

We've raised money for MindOut, an LGBTQ+ mental health charity, and proudly sponsor Brighton Pride as a Pride City Angel.

testimonial

I joined European Tech Recruit having graduated from (Loughborough) University in the prior summer and made the move down to Brighton to join the company.

Immediately I was made to feel welcome by what is a massively social company and Brighton quickly became home. European Tech Recruit really is a great first step outside of university as I know numerous fellow graduates who went into recruitment and haven’t benefited from nearly the same opportunities that I have with the company so far.

In my 1.5 years here, I have already seen the real opportunity there is to grow quickly within the company, work with truly exciting clients, and achieve high earning potential… all whilst working with a social-first company (even during the depths of COVID).
