We learn your stack, culture, and what good looks like for your team. No generic job spec — real understanding.
We search actively and passively across our network and beyond. Only candidates who genuinely fit are approached.

We manage the offer process, handle counteroffers, and stay in touch through the first 90 days.
"CtrlAltRec found us a senior backend engineer in under two weeks. Most agencies had been trying for months. They actually understood what we needed."
"The quality of candidates was genuinely impressive. Every person on the shortlist was someone we'd have considered hiring. No CV padding, no time-wasters."
"As a candidate, the experience was completely different to other recruiters. They kept me informed at every stage and negotiated a brilliant package."
Behind every placement is a real conversation. Here's what drives us.
CtrlAltRec was founded by former technologists who got tired of being represented by people who couldn't tell a backend from a frontend. We built the agency we always wanted to work with.
Every consultant on our team has a background in tech — whether that's engineering, product, or data. We understand the nuance of a senior hire, the urgency of a contract gap, and what "culture fit" actually means in practice.
Whether you're hiring or looking for your next role, we'd love to hear from you.
