Book a hiring call
Commit Talent is a tech recruitment agency for UK startups and SMEs, run by Jay — a software developer of nearly 30 years. Every candidate is screened by a developer before you see a CV. Flat fee, no retainers.
Engineering recruitment for startup founders, CTOs and hiring managers who'd rather be writing code.
// 01
Software engineers, tech leads and engineering managers, hired for the long arc. Every shortlisted candidate has been on a 30-minute technical call with Jay first. You see two to five CVs, not twenty.
Senior IC · staff · tech lead · EM.
// 02
Short-term contractors for migrations, platform spikes, and the project nobody wants to touch. Inside or outside IR35, and we tell you which up front. Day rates agreed in writing before the first interview.
3 – 12 months · devops · platform · backend.
// 03
For a few weeks at a time, we work as your hiring team. Your tools, your ATS, your standup. Useful when you're hiring six or more engineers and don't want a procession of agency emails.
4 – 12 week engagement · 6 – 20 hires.
Which is why the agency runs the way it does. Software engineer recruitment, by someone who can still read a pull request.
// 01
Send me a GitHub repo, a stack rundown, or just talk me through it. I'll come back with questions about your services, deploys and the bits of the codebase you'd rather not show off. That's what I screen for.
// 02
Not a junior, not a sourcer. Me. If a CV reaches your inbox I've already talked to them about their stack, their last codebase and what they're trying to do next. Notes attached. No CV spam.
// 03
Same price whether the search takes a week or six. No exclusivity clause, no monthly subscription, no minimum spend. I make money when I find you someone you'd have hired anyway.

Hiring for a role that isn't on this list? Book a call. I work briefs that don't fit a template.
// step 01
Twenty minutes. You tell me what you need. I ask the awkward questions about your stack, the team and the last person who left. I write the job spec. You sign it off.
// step 02
I source, I screen, I send. Every shortlisted candidate has been on a technical call with me. Notes on stack fit and likely concerns attached to each CV. No bulk emails to your inbox.
// step 03
You interview, you decide. Fee is a flat amount agreed at the brief call, payable only on hire. If nobody fits, I keep sourcing at no extra cost. If you find your own candidate independently, no fee.
Or use the form — same inbox. I reply the same working day.
