Two complementary perspectives

Engineering experience. Recruitment discipline.

DC Digital Talent connects growing product teams with engineers through clear role definition, targeted search and peer-to-peer technical screening. Manchester and the North are our initial local focus, with UK-wide coverage.

Ryan, co-founder of DC Digital Talent

Ryan

Engineering judgement in the hiring conversation

Ryan brings 10+ years of software engineering experience, with a particular depth in mobile and product engineering. He leads the technical screening lens: the work an engineer has owned, the choices they made and the responsibilities a role really requires.

Grace, co-founder of DC Digital Talent

Grace

A focused process on both sides

Grace brings 5+ years of recruitment experience. She leads candidate research, outreach, communication and coordination, keeping expectations and next steps clear for candidates and hiring teams.

Start with the requirement, not the vacancy title.

We focus on software engineering roles across mobile, backend, full stack, frontend and engineering leadership. Retained search is our primary engagement model; selective contingency work is considered against the brief.

For a team that is not yet ready to hire, an Engineering Growth Brief can open the conversation. A public signal is a reason to ask a question—not proof that a company has a staffing problem.

How our process works

Ready to scale your software engineering team?

Discuss the work, the role and the technical evidence that matters. Start with a conversation, not a stack of unvetted CVs.
