Tech, Product & Leadership Recruitment. Done Properly.
Search26 is an independent recruitment partner specialising in Software Engineering and Product hires, from individual contributors through to Head of Engineering, Director of Engineering and CTO. We work with fast-growth technology companies and we're built on honest advice and genuine relationships.
Why Search26
Specialist, not generalist. We focus on Software Engineering, Product and Engineering Leadership roles within fast-growth technology companies. That focus means we understand the market, the candidates, and what good actually looks like, not a broad-brush approach spread across ten sectors.
Founder-led, every time. No account handovers, no junior consultants running your search behind the scenes. You work directly with the person doing the work, from the first conversation through to signed offer.
Build and lead your tech team without the noise
We work with ambitious, fast-growth technology companies who need to build and strengthen their Engineering and Product teams properly, not just fill seats. That includes senior individual contributor hires as well as engineering leadership: Heads of Engineering, Directors of Engineering and CTOs.
From a single hire to building out an entire function or finding your next engineering leader, we offer flexible ways of working so you get the right level of support for where you're at.
Recruitment that works for you too
Good recruitment isn't just about filling roles, it's about finding the right one. We take time to understand what you're looking for, give you honest feedback on the market and your fit for a role, and support you through the whole process.
