For Employers
First hires, senior ICs, and the leadership layer.
These are high-stakes hires. Getting one wrong is expensive. That’s why I only take a few at a time and focus properly on each.
- Founding engineers and first technical hires
- Senior and staff ICs
- Engineering leadership, handled discreetly
- Aftercare for months after they start
For Candidates
I won’t waste your time.
I’m not going to send you a job that doesn’t fit just to fill a slot. I take time to understand what you actually want, tell you the truth about each role, and stay in touch long after you’ve started. If I reach out, it’s because I think it’s worth your while.
- Senior roles at companies building real products
- Honest answers on comp, team and runway
- Prep and feedback through every stage
- A relationship that outlasts the placement

Track record
Don’t take my word for it.
Every one of these is from a client or candidate I’ve worked with.
Real names, because they were happy to attach them.
It was the second time I had the chance to experience firsthand Sam’s outstanding professionalism as a recruiter working together with him last December when I was looking for my next career move. As many of us as developers, I have come across a good number of tech recruiters but none of them was able to get close to the high level that Sam set as his standard. Because of this reason, he was the first one to come to my mind to reach out to when I started looking.
Sam clearly puts 100% (sometimes even more?!) into each of his project. I especially appreciate his well-organised, clear, fast-paced and responsive communication style, which frankly, I wish others in the field learnt from him.
After a second time being helped by Sam to find a great position to move ahead in my career, I cannot recommend him enough to others who are in the same situation right now. I can only join the recommendations before me that said “If Sam calls, pick it up!”. Indeed, you and your career as an engineer won’t regret it, I can reassure you of that.
Andras – Frontend developer
I’ve really enjoyed working with Sam. Sam has a good overview of his client’s demands, both the hiring company and the candidate, acts quickly and is pragmatic. Introductions are swift and honest! When rounding up he also ensures an honest negotiation/discussion between the candidate & hiring company. From my experience, he creates a foundation for a long-lasting relationship between the hiring company & candidate and doesn’t go for the short-term win!
