Markets
Four specialist markets since 2010, recruited by the people who know them.
Our recruitment consultants go deeper into “tech”.
Each one specialises in a single market: Product, UX & Design, Data & AI or Engineering, and knows it well enough to tell the genuinely strong candidate from the well-written CV.
That's why our CV-to-interview ratio leads the industry, and why so many of the people we place come back years later to hire through us.
From start-ups building their first product team to enterprise leaders scaling globally, we deliver permanent, contract, fractional and executive hires across the UK, US, Europe and the Middle East.

Don't take our word for it.
A selection from our 200+ 5* global Google reviews.
“I've been working with Consortia for 7 years. They have helped me hire great UX researchers and UI designers in two organisations. The team really listen to the needs and contexts of the roles I hire for. They take time to understand how this translates to individual candidates and only put forward serious good fits. This has resulted in a great deal of time being saved, positive impact on the teams that new staff joined and benefit for the hires themselves who experience being a good fit.”
“Working with Joe at Consortia has been an absolute pleasure - every candidate he has provided to us has been a home run and we can't wait to work with him again in future. Thank you very much, Consortia, and especially Joe who has been extremely dependable.”
“Diligent, responsive and properly on top of things. One of the best recruiters I've worked with. I'd happily recommend them.”
“Every candidate they sourced was an exact match, which saved us real time. More of a trusted partner now than a recruiter.”
“Brilliant people work here. They care about the whole recruitment process and are always there for candidates throughout.”
“An extremely smooth experience, with quality candidates and outstanding precision throughout the process.”
“Expert developers are thin on the ground, but Consortia swiftly provided a strong shortlist and we made a successful appointment.”
“Napoleon was very helpful in mediating between me and my new employer :-).”

Staff Product Engineer
You already know how to build complex web applications; what you really want now is end-to-end ownership, modern engineering practices and the chance to ship software that directly improves patient care. As a product engineer embedded in a small, senior team at our client, a growing healthtech company based near King’s Cross, you will own significant slices of a safety-critical platform used in regulated healthcare settings. You will be hands-on, an individual contributor focused on product outcomes, designing, building and scaling services from first principles with the autonomy to make technical decisions stick. With a low-meeting culture, zero legacy code and colleagues who are all staff-level engineers with 7+ years’ experience, this is a place for experienced engineers who want to think in products, not tickets. What You'll Do As a product engineer, own and develop one or more product areas end to end, from shaping solutions with Product Leads to seeing your services used daily in clinical environments. Design and implement secure, performant and scalable services in PHP (Laravel/Symfony) and JavaScript, treating non-functional requirements as first-class problems. Write clean, well-tested code using patterns like DDD and CQRS, keeping the codebase modern through proactive refactoring and avoiding unnecessary technical debt. Collaborate with DevOps engineers to ensure smooth deployments, observability and reliability across the stack as your features scale. Investigate, troubleshoot and resolve complex issues across the full application stack, using them as opportunities to harden the platform. Help shape engineering practices that support clinical risk, information security and service-management standards such as DCB0129, ISO 13485, ISO 27001 and ISO 20000. What You'll Bring 7+ years’ experience as a full-stack or backend engineer building complex web applications in product-focused teams. Strong PHP skills and experience with modern frameworks such as Symfony or Laravel, plus confidence with JavaScript, CSS and ORMs like Doctrine. Solid understanding of relational databases, ideally PostgreSQL, and how to diagnose and solve performance and scalability issues. Exposure to patterns like Domain-Driven Design and CQRS, and a track record of handling demanding non-functional requirements in production systems. You communicate clearly and collaborate closely with Product, DevOps and other engineers, and you will be in the King’s Cross office at least four days per week to deliver excellent user experiences. A STEM degree or equivalent grounding in software engineering fundamentals, and a desire to use your skills for positive impact in healthcare. What's On Offer £100,000–£120,000 base salary. Permanent, predominantly on-site role in a modern King’s Cross office (minimum four days per week). A senior, product-focused engineering team with a low-meeting culture, where individual contributors have real autonomy and ownership. The chance to work with a modern PHP/Symfony/Laravel and PostgreSQL stack, without legacy frameworks or inherited technical debt. Direct impact on software used in regulated healthcare settings, giving your work long-term social value as well as technical challenge, plus a benefits package (details on application). Easily commutable to King’s Cross with direct trains from locations including Potters Bar, Hatfield, Welwyn Garden City, Stevenage, Hitchin, Letchworth Garden City, Biggleswade, Royston, St Neots, Huntingdon, Peterborough, St Albans City, Harpenden, Flitwick, Bedford, Kettering, Market Harborough, Milton Keynes Central, Reading, Didcot Parkway, Oxford, Swindon, Cambridge, Cambridge North and Leicester.

Lead Product Manager
You want your work as a Lead Product Manager to matter more than another B2B workflow tweak. You want to turn complex, multi-product systems into something that feels simple, dependable and almost invisible, especially when people are going through some of the hardest moments in their lives. As a Lead Product Manager, you’ll sit at the heart of a founder-owned, market-leading technology business that provides audio-visual, streaming and digital products to the funerals and ceremonies sector. Their products span venue AV infrastructure, media management and streaming platforms, tribute and content services, digital memorial experiences and immersive next-generation venues. This newly created role makes you the connective tissue between the Product Director’s strategy and a growing team of Product Managers. You’ll own the portfolio roadmap for the digital and software side of the business, raise the overall standard of product practice, and build a high-performing team in a company moving from adolescence to a more mature, product-led future. What You'll Do Lead, coach and develop a team of Product Managers, giving them clear ownership of products while setting a high bar for customer insight, delivery and commercial thinking. Translate the Product Director’s vision into a single, prioritised roadmap across media and streaming platforms, content services and digital memorial products, and keep it sequenced, realistic and outcome-led. Own portfolio-level prioritisation, balancing family experience, funeral professional needs, commercial return, technical feasibility and operational impact, and make the trade-off calls others escalate. Act as the day-to-day escalation point for cross-product conflicts and resourcing decisions, unblocking teams and ensuring every Product Manager stays focused on what matters most. Partner closely with Technology, Engineering, Data, Delivery, Marketing and Customer teams so initiatives are well defined, technically sound, operationally workable and clearly launched to the market. Drive portfolio governance across propositions, pricing input, lifecycle and investment decisions, and deputise for the Product Director in senior forums when needed. Shape and embed pragmatic product management frameworks, processes and governance that elevate product maturity in a non-corporate, founder-led environment without adding unnecessary bureaucracy. What You'll Bring You have proven experience as a Lead Product Manager or similar, leading Product Managers or senior product professionals in a multi-product setting. You have a strong track record of turning strategy into a deliverable roadmap that cross-functional teams can plan, execute and iterate against. You are confident owning portfolio-level prioritisation and making trade-offs across multiple products, stakeholders and competing demands. You bring a deeply customer-first mindset with empathy for users navigating sensitive, emotionally charged situations, and a commitment to simple, accessible experiences. You have strong stakeholder management skills and a collaborative style when partnering with Technology, Data, Delivery, Marketing and Customer teams. You are familiar with modern product practices and tools, for example agile delivery, Jira and Confluence, squad-based models, accessibility or government-style design principles, and you lead through coaching. What's On Offer Base salary in the region of £65,000–£80,000, depending on experience. Hybrid working, typically three days a week in the South Yorkshire office, with flexibility around team and customer commitments. A newly created Lead Product Manager position where you can shape the structure, processes and culture of a maturing product organisation. Direct exposure to the Product Director and senior leadership, with a clear path into broader product leadership over time. The opportunity to work on products that directly support families, celebrants and funeral professionals at some of the most meaningful moments of their lives. If you’re a Lead Product Manager who wants to build a high-performing product function while shaping technology that genuinely makes a difference, this role offers the platform to do exactly that.
