Find Talent Find Opportunities

Why Atlantic Search?

The best engineers are rarely on the market. They are highly selective and tend to engage only with recruiters they trust, recruiters who genuinely understand their world. Atlantic Search has built that trust through deep specialism in senior engineering hiring across FinTech, Quant and Al.

Specialists

Staff & Principal
‍We specialise in senior engineering hires across complex, high-scale environments, distributed systems, HPC,Al/ML systems, large-scale data platforms and performance-critical software.

Network

Hard-to-Reach Talent.
‍The strongest engineers rarely apply and are difficult to reach through traditional channels. We build those relationships long before a hiring need exists, allowing our clients to leverage the trust we've already earned and access exceptional talent faster.

Search

Compounding Quality
We don't rely on databases or inbound applications. Every search compounds direct sourcing, referrals, market mapping and trusted networks to uncover the small number of engineers who genuinely meet the bar.

Markets

Sector Depth
‍Exceptional engineering talent is scarce in FinTech, Quant and Al. Our deep market expertise helps clients identify the right people faster, assess them with greater accuracy and engage them with real credibility.

Customer testimonials

Read what our clients and candidates have to say

"James operates at a different level, he brought me opportunities that were meticulously researched and the level of insight on the strategy and business he was pitching I have never come across from a recruiter before. I was lucky enough to be placed twice by James and both engagements were game-changers for my career. Highly recommend.

CTO, Payments

"I have worked with James for the past 7 years. First, in London where he supported my team build for a major data warehousing turnaround programme - for an FTSE100 Global Retailer. James was an extension of my team for 18 months delivering exceptional talent under very tight deadlines, he knew what I needed and what I sought in people, saving precious time. More recently James found me a great role in Ireland as the Director of Data & Business Intelligence where I have just been promoted! Thanks James!"

Chief Data Officer, Private Equity

"James placed me at a Consumer Electronics company under great commercial and time pressure from the business. The interviews and onboarding were seamless and fast. I couldn't have been happier. James also provided ongoing support to me in the post, recruiting for difficult and niche resource capabilities, often against tight to impossible deadlines. James always demonstrated the highest levels of professionalism in all his engagements with me and with the Business. I would have no hesitation recommending James to any client (or candidate) and I know if I have future resource requirements, he will be my first phone call.."
