Head of Recruitment - Software Engineering, AI & Data

New Today

Job Description

Here’s the deal… I know you have seen plenty of these job advertisements before. They were boring, showed you no personality and you most likely didn’t apply for it.


So let’s save each other some time. It’s not just what we do.


It’s WHO WE ARE.


WE LOVE working with people.


Yes, we work in recruitment, BUT not the kind that treats people like transactions or KPIs. For us, it has always been about the relationships, the conversations, the insight-sharing, the genuine human connection.


We believe that when recruitment is done properly, it’s transformational. It helps people discover new career paths and ways of living they never imagined. It moves families. It connects brilliant minds with problems worth solving. And in tech (Software Engineering, AI, and Data) those problems literally shape the future.


WE BUILD networks, friendships, trust.

  • Our candidates and clients aren’t names in a database. Many of them are now friends.
  • Internally, we support each other. We’re teammates, mentors, a network that lifts one another up.
  • We don’t subscribe to the psychopathic phrase, “It’s not personal, it’s business.”

Everything we do is personal.


WE LIKE people who are themselves.


Authenticity matters. Curiosity matters. Caring about people matters.


This job requires someone who listens, is empathetic, and works hard (not just for themselves) but for the talent and organisations they represent. Someone who wants to help engineers, leaders, and innovators find opportunities that truly elevate them.


WE WANT to positively impact the world around us.


Our business focuses on sectors that impel progress:

  • Life Sciences
  • Renewable Energy
  • Space & Technology


And now—deep Technology, Software Engineering, AI, and Data.


So, what will you do here?


As Head of Recruitment for Software Engineering, AI & Data, you will become the cornerstone of our Technology division.


You will be responsible for building a global network of engineers, CTOs, Chief Data Officers, AI leaders, and executive‑level technology innovators.


This role is both strategic and hands‑on. You will work directly with people, build trust across the tech ecosystem, and open pathways for both senior executive placements and high‑value contract programmes.


You will help us scale this practice into a global offering—supporting some of the most exciting companies in technology, AI, Digital Transformation, Deep Tech, and Software Engineering.


Your Responsibilities:


Strategic Leadership

  • Partner with the Managing Director to build the strategy and long‑term business plan for a large‑scale technology recruitment practice.
  • Develop and expand a senior‑level network across Software Engineering, AI, and Data, targeting C‑suite and VP-level leaders.

Client Development & Growth

  • Build long‑term relationships with new clients, introducing them to our full suite of services—from executive search to contractor solutions to career coaching.
  • Deliver high-level talent consulting to innovative organisations, scale-ups, and enterprise technology leaders.

New: Our SaaS Platform – ImpelTalent.com

  • Help shape how the platform is used within the tech division.
  • Provide feedback to enhance features for both clients and candidates.
  • Work closely with leadership to integrate SaaS solutions into large‑scale projects.
  • Position the platform as a value-added service for engineering and AI clients.


This is more than recruitment, it's contributing to a new digital ecosystem for talent.


What We Offer:

  • Competitive salary based on experience
  • High-level commission structure
  • Full-time remote working
  • Flexible hours
  • Friday meetups / socials (London optional)
  • Autonomy on your projects
  • Supportive leadership and team
