Why Endeavour
A recruitment partner who actually understands the stack.
Most agencies treat technical roles like any other vacancy. We don't. Every consultant at Endeavour works in tech, knows the difference between a staff engineer and a principal, and can hold the brief in a way candidates respect.
Hard-to-find talent
We map the named companies and individuals you care about and approach passive candidates discreetly. No spray-and-pray, no job ads - we reach the people who'd never apply themselves.
Save the cost of a re-hire
A failed senior hire costs you twelve months of runway. We start with an engineering-led briefing - not a job spec emailed over - and calibrate every shortlist deeply. Built to get it right the first time.
We protect the placement
Shortlists in days, not weeks. We manage offers carefully - counter-offers, notice periods, relocation - and stay close through the first ninety days. We protect the placement, not just the fee.
Roles we cover
Every technical role you'd want to hire.
Across engineering, AI, data, platform and infrastructure. From your founding engineer to your CTO. Hover any role to see it sharpen.
Services
Every hiring model. One specialism.
Whether you need a single CTO or fifty platform engineers, we operate across the full range of engagement models. All exclusively technical.
Permanent placement
Hand-picked, calibrated shortlists for full-time technical hires from mid-level engineers to engineering leadership. Contingent or retained, your call.
Contractors & interim specialists

Statement of Work
Outcome-based delivery for defined technical projects. We assemble the team, manage delivery to milestones and hand back the keys.
Headhunting & executive search
Discreet retained search for CTOs, VPs of Engineering, Heads of AI, and other technical leaders where the wrong hire would cost you a year.
Volume technical hiring
