Pre-Vetted iOS & Android Developer Recruitment
Hire mobile engineers who can explain the decisions behind a production app. We support Manchester and UK-wide product teams with engineer-led screening for native and cross-platform roles.
Screen for the work. Not just the keywords.
Ryan brings 10+ years of software engineering experience to a peer-to-peer technical conversation. We agree the assessment with you first, then explain the evidence behind each introduction.

What the technical conversation explores
Architecture in context
Explore trade-offs around MVVM, modularity and Clean Architecture, rather than treating a particular pattern as the right answer for every app.
From change to release
Understand testing, accessibility, deployment pipelines, store releases and how engineers respond when production behaviour differs from expectations.
Relevant roles, clearly defined
We work with product businesses of around 10–200 employees, including funded teams. Manchester and the North are our initial local focus; working arrangements can be remote, hybrid or on-site across the UK.

Mobile Engineering recruitment questions
How do you technically screen mobile developers before submitting them to us?
Ryan conducts a peer-to-peer discussion focused on the role: Swift or Kotlin fundamentals, app architecture, memory management, debugging, testing and deployment pipelines. We ask for concrete examples and document strengths, gaps and questions for your own interview. Screening is not a substitute for your final hiring decision.
Do you cover cross-platform frameworks like React Native or Flutter?
Yes. We distinguish cross-platform experience from native platform depth. The discussion covers framework-specific work, platform integration and the trade-offs the engineer has made. We agree which capabilities are essential before starting the search.
What is the typical turnaround time to receive vetted mobile developer candidates in Manchester or UK-wide?
We agree a shortlist milestone at the start of each retained search. Timing depends on seniority, compensation, working arrangements and the depth of the available market. We will give you a role-specific timetable rather than promise a shortlist before understanding the requirement.
I am an iOS or Android developer looking for a new role—how does your process work?
Start with a CV enquiry and a discussion about the work you want to do. A technical conversation with Ryan explores your experience, while we map your preferences for remote, hybrid or Manchester-based roles. We discuss opportunities with you before putting you forward.
