We made a simple decision that has had a huge impact on how we work. Everyone in our recruitment team learns to code. Not to become software engineers, but to understand the world our clients and candidates operate in.
It means we know what a codebase actually looks like. We understand the difference between frameworks, languages, and tooling. We can speak with engineers in a way that feels natural rather than rehearsed. And that understanding changes everything.
How it helps our clients
Clients feel the benefit right away. Conversations move faster because we understand the technical context. Briefs are clearer because we know the difference between what is essential and what is simply nice to have. Shortlists are stronger because we can qualify candidates with more accuracy and confidence.
It reduces the usual back and forth. It cuts out the noise. It helps hiring teams move with more certainty and less risk.
How it helps candidates
Candidates feel more understood. They don’t have to translate everything into simple terms. They can talk honestly about their work, their stack, and their ambitions. That clarity leads to better matches and better outcomes.
Why it matters
Learning to code helps us recruit with depth rather than guesswork. It strengthens trust, improves accuracy, and ensures the people we send to clients are genuinely aligned with what the role requires.
If you want an SEO one liner or a very short version for your site, I can write that too.
