About Consult PS

A search firm built
by technology operators.

We're not generalist recruiters who fell into tech. Every consultant at Consult PS has shipped code, scaled a platform, or led a team. That's the standard.

Mission

Match elite UK technology talent with the work that defines their next decade.

We exist to make the consequential hires — the principal engineer, the first Head of Platform, the founding CTO. The ones that move the curve.

Vision

Be the most trusted name in UK technology search.

Trust earned slowly — one honest shortlist, one fair counter-offer conversation, one returned call at a time.

Our values

Four principles we don't compromise on.

01

Operator-led

Every consultant has shipped software, run a team, or owned a P&L. We speak the language because we've lived it.

02

Specialist, not generalist

We refuse mandates outside our domains. Depth compounds — breadth dilutes.

03

Honest, always

Honest shortlists. Honest comp data. Honest 'no' when a role isn't right for someone.

04

Long horizons

Most of our placements come from people we've known for 5+ years. We play infinite games.

How we operate

Four principles, no exceptions.

We're a new firm with old-school standards. These are the commitments we make on every search.

01

Specialism over scale

We only recruit in software, data, AI, cyber and cloud. Depth in a narrow lane beats a generalist desk every time.

02

Senior consultants only

No juniors learning on your role. You speak to the person actually doing the search — and they've operated in tech themselves.

03

Transparent process

Open fee structure, written shortlist criteria, and a 90-day replacement guarantee on every permanent placement.

04

Long memory

We'd rather place one engineer three times across their career than spam your inbox with mismatches.

Small team. No noise.
