Move is an embedded talent consultancy on a mission to grow the most exciting companies in the world. We put exceptional recruiters inside the companies where hiring has become the thing holding everything else back, and we back those recruiters with AI that we build ourselves.
Our clients are the kind of companies you want to work with: AI-native businesses, frontier labs, and the teams building technology that change people's lives. What they have in common is a moment, where ambition has run ahead of their ability to hire for it, and that's usually when they call us.
Our team spans the UK, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, the USA, Asia and South Africa. We're remote-first and globally minded, and we're closer than most teams that share an office.
What Being Forward-Deployed Means HereYou'll be embedded inside the client, working as one of them: their standups, their systems, their hiring managers and their bar. You'll own the roles from end to end, and you'll represent their brand alongside ours.
We've partnered with the most innovative Recruitment AI companies in the world, and built our own suite of agents that takes the laborious work off your plate, so that you can focus on the most human and impactful parts of the job: talking to candidates, and talking to the business.
We think a recruiter with that kind of support behind them is capable of far more than the market currently expects, and that the bar goes up rather than down. We're building the team that proves it.
The Role: Why This Job ExistsWe help companies build the teams that build the product, and technical hiring is where the bar sits highest and the market runs thinnest. The engineers you'll be approaching are rarely looking, usually happy where they are, and always in demand, so the work turns on how well you understand what they actually do and how convincingly you can explain why this problem is worth their time.
You'll own full-cycle hiring for the roles that carry it: software engineering, AI and machine learning, infrastructure, data and product.
What You'll DoRun exceptional intakes that are structured, deep, and specific enough to make everything downstream easier
Own technical roles from search strategy through to offer, inside the client's team and their systems
Headhunt engineers who aren't looking, with agents giving you reach while the judgement about who to approach, and what to say to them, stays yours
Build real technical credibility, enough to hold your own on the stack, the architecture and the problem, and enough for engineers to take you seriously
Coach hiring managers through calibration, interview design and feedback, including founders and CTOs with high expectations who'll thank you for the challenge
Build hiring foundations with enough structure and process to move at pace, and no more than that
Report honestly on pipeline health, where the process is winning, where it's losing people, and what you're doing about it
Every recruiter at Move has a baseline of AI training that we build ourselves and partner with externally. You'll be exposed to the most forward thinking AI businesses and technologies in recruiting.
Each week, we release more and more agents that make you more impactful. Our goal is that every recruiter at Move can not only use these agents but build and grow their own.
What You'll BringExperience hiring technical talent at a high bar, across software engineering, AI and machine learning, infrastructure or data, in businesses where the bar was never up for negotiation
Evidence that you've leaned into AI to get better at the job, with a view on what it does well and where it falls over
Opinions that are well formed and loosely held, and open to being changed by evidence
Composure in ambiguity and the instinct to bring order to it, whether that's a new client, no process, or high expectations in week one
Communication backed by logic and data, especially with the hiring manager who disagrees with you
Curiosity that compounds, because you want to be smarter in six months than you are today
UK-based, and able to get into London for client days and the occasional team session
Work with some of the most ambitious companies in tech, on roles that visibly move their business
A company-funded Claude account, paid AI training and certification, and the tooling behind it
A remote-first team that celebrates the wins out loud
The chance to become genuinely excellent at both halves of this job, the human one and the AI one, at a point when very few recruiters are
