Technology is where our experience runs deepest, but it is not where our search capability ends. We recruit executive, senior management and professional talent across a range of industries and functions, applying the same direct search discipline to every mandate.
The level
ERG recruits at executive, senior management and professional level, in technology and beyond it. The engagements themselves, from permanent search to contract and interim, are set out under four ways we hire for you.
The domain
CTO · VP Engineering · Head of Platform · Director of Engineering
CTO, VP Engineering, Head of Platform and the layer beneath them. The searches where the wrong hire is felt for years.
Leadership searches turn on judgement: the decisions a candidate has made, and what those decisions cost.
Staff and Principal Engineers · Backend · Frontend · Full Stack
Backend, frontend and full stack, from senior individual contributors to staff and principal level.
Strong engineers judge an approach by whether it understands their work. They answer the ones that do.
ML Engineering · Data Engineering · Analytics Leadership · MLOps
Machine learning, data engineering and analytics leadership, in a market where demand has outrun supply for years.
Titles are least consistent between companies in this area, so mapping matters more here than anywhere.
CISO · Security Architecture · Security Engineering · GRC
Security engineering, architecture and the CISO seat, where credentials are checkable and the shortlist is short.
Discretion counts double in security. Candidates in these seats do not want their names circulating, and the approach respects that.
Platform Engineering · SRE · DevOps · Cloud Architecture
Platform, SRE and DevOps. The people who keep systems standing.
The measure of this work is what does not happen. References carry more weight here than any portfolio.
Product Management · Product Design · Design Leadership
Product management and design leadership. Roles where judgement is most of the job.
A resume says little about how a product leader decides. What they shipped, and what they refused to ship, comes out when you talk to them.
Salesforce · ERP · Integration · Enterprise Architecture
Salesforce, ERP and the platforms the business runs on day to day.
Highly specialized requirements rarely respond well to a generic search. Precision in the brief is what helps us identify the few candidates who genuinely match.
Beyond technology
Operations · Finance · Sales & Commercial · Human Resources · Customer & Professional Services
Senior leaders across the functions that operate and grow the business.
When the mandate sits outside technology, the same direct search discipline applies.
Not on the list?
These are the areas where we know the market best. They are not the limits of the desk.
If your role sits next to them, ask. A short brief is enough to know whether it is a fit.
Wherever the role sits, how a search runs does not change.
