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.

“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.”
