Specialists in technology recruitment
OpenSourced is a search and selection team that connects technology teams with the engineers, specialists and leaders who build their products.
Why specialists make the difference
Technology hiring is different. Skills change fast, the best people are rarely looking, and a CV full of buzzwords can hide a weak fit. Generalist recruiters struggle to tell a strong engineer from a good keyword match.
So we specialised. With more than 12 years in technical recruitment behind us, we built OpenSourced around specialist desks for software, ecommerce, PHP, data and AI, cloud, cyber security, product and robotics. That focus means better shortlists for our clients and better-matched roles for the people we represent.
We're on a mission to connect the UK's most ambitious technology teams with the people who will build what comes next.
Cognitive diversity
When we face a challenge, many minds offer many solutions. We have built an open, inclusive culture where everyone can express themselves, learn and grow.
Experience
Over 12 years in technical recruitment, with an ethical approach to clients and candidates alike and a deep network across UK technology.
Inclusion
Inclusion and diversity are at the heart of every search, so our clients see a true cross-section of the market.
Diversity and inclusion
Inclusive hiring, in practice
The best technology teams bring together people with different backgrounds, experiences and ways of thinking. Here is how we help our clients hire fairly.
- Skills first. We assess people on what they can do, not where they studied, and welcome career changers and returners.
- Inclusive adverts. We help clients write job adverts that focus on the skills a role really needs and show the salary, so more people apply.
- Wider reach. Our network, events and community work reach people from a broad range of backgrounds, so clients see a true cross-section of the market.
- Adjustments made easy. Tell us if you need an adjustment for an interview or test and we will arrange it with the employer. You do not need to tell us why.
