Technical search
Specialist hiring for the engineers, architects, and technical leaders who build and secure modern technology platforms. We combine deep domain knowledge with a researched, evidence-based approach to find talent that performs under real-world conditions.
How we work
Map the market
A researched map of credible technical talent, who is moving, who is relevant, and who is worth a confidential conversation, built against the whole market rather than a database of familiar names.
Deep SME assessment
Structured technical assessments from ControlPlane’s industry-leading subject-matter experts, offered to clarify your hiring bar and evaluate every shortlisted candidate against the role the team actually needs to fill.
Qualified shortlist, fast
A median of three to five days to a shortlist where every name has been fully vetted, assessed, and is actively interested in the opportunity.
Accountable beyond placement
We manage offer and acceptance through to day one, and stay accountable for every hire well beyond placement.
Where we specialise
Technical hiring across the four domains our SMEs know first-hand.
The SRE, platform, and developer experience leaders and individual contributors who build and operate the foundations that enable engineering teams to deliver at scale across multi-cloud and on-premises environments.
Application Security, Cloud Security, and Security Engineering hires for organisations operating in complex regulatory environments, where security, resilience, and compliance are business critical.
Principal, Staff, and Senior Engineers, as well as the engineering leaders who shape technical direction and drive engineering excellence across their organisations.
ML platform, applied research, and infrastructure talent for teams building, deploying, and scaling production machine learning systems.
Why CP Network
Domain credibility
Our consultants work alongside ControlPlane’s practitioner SMEs, the engineers who write the standards, tooling, and playbooks your candidates use every day.
Evidence-based assessment
Structured technical evaluation you can audit, not a gut-feel shortlist of familiar faces or keyword-matched CVs.
Accountable for retention
We stay close after placement and measure ourselves on whether your hire is still thriving, not just whether an offer was signed.
