TalentCo is growing - Join us as our first dedicated Tech Recruiter!


At TalentCo, we build world-class teams for some of the UK’s most exciting startups, scale-ups, and tech ventures, specialising in Go-To-Market and Tech hiring. We work extremely closely with a growing portfolio of fantastic clients on an exclusive-contingent basis and we’re looking for an ambitious, enthusiastic and entrepreneurial individual to join us as the third member of our team.


As TalentCo’s Senior Tech Recruiter, you’ll play a key dual role of bringing on new clients across the startup, scale-up and wider tech landscape, while also owning delivery of all tech hiring into existing and future clients.


This is a rare opportunity for an experienced 360 technology recruiter to take ultimate ownership of their career, joining an early-stage recruitment business as employee number 3, with an enormous opportunity to influence and impact our continued success.


Why Join TalentCo?

Join as employee #3 and help shape TalentCo’s future, as we approach 24 months as a business. Your work will directly influence our success and the success and growth of our clients.

We work with amazing clients across DeepTech, HealthTech, AI, MLOps, EdTech, HRTech, DataTech, AdTech and Consumer and you’ll be owning all technical hiring including software engineering, data, artificial intelligence and machine learning.

We already have a deep network within the UK startup space from our past-lives in the in-house talent world, and a growing reputation as a trusted agency partner, so you won’t be starting from scratch when it comes to winning new business.

You’ll see rapid growth in both your career and your earning potential. If you’re meeting the high standards we set and surpassing your targets, you can progress as quickly as your ambition will allow.

We have a high-trust and high-autonomy culture, so this role can be based fully-remote or remote-first. Currently we work together in-person in London 1 day a week out of choice, but we’re totally flexible to individual circumstances, so this role is perfect for a top performer who is bored of wasting their time commuting to and from an office.


What You’ll Do

  • Win & Grow New Clients- Drive new business, build strong client relationships, and expand TalentCo’s growing presence in the tech startup and scale-up space.
  • Find, Engage & Place Top Tech Talent- Use LinkedIn, your personal network, industry communities and other sourcing strategies to connect high-calibre tech candidates with our current and future clients.
  • Provide World Class Candidate Experience- We continue to win a huge amount of repeat business based on our successful (and unsuccessful) hires becoming huge advocates of TalentCo during their hiring process. You will be expected to match our incredibly high standards when it comes to candidate experience.
  • Become A Technology Expert- Tech at TalentCo encompasses software engineering, engineering leadership, data, artificial intelligence, machine learning and the occasional product hire, so while you don’t need to be a specialist in all of these, you need to be dead-set on becoming an expert at hiring across all of these areas once onboarded.


You’re A Great Fit If…

  • You’ve got a few years of agency tech recruitment under your belt, but want to build something amazing in a much smaller environment where the opportunity to impact and earn is enormous.
  • You’re ambitious, an over-achiever and goal-focused, with the drive to make a meaningful impact at an early-stage recruitment startup - you want to put in an outsized effort for an outsized reward.
  • You much prefer the thought of working in a close-knit team than within a large corporation, but understand the autonomy and ownership required from you to thrive in a small team like ours.
  • You’re a people-focused individual who will enjoy regularly meeting candidates and clients, building lasting relationships with them and regularly delighting both.


What We Offer

Base Salaryup to £50k dependent on experience and double OTE uncapped

Remote-First Work Environment, with a co-working space in London also available

Flexible Hoursto suit your lifestyle and personal circumstances

Unlimited Holiday, so just let us know when you need time off, and it’s yours

Portfolio Projects That Get You Hired for AI Jobs (With Real GitHub Examples)

In the fast-evolving world of artificial intelligence (AI), an impressive portfolio of projects can act as your passport to landing a sought-after role. Even if you’ve aced interviews in the past, employers in AI and machine learning (ML) are increasingly asking candidates to demonstrate hands-on experience through the projects they’ve built and shared online. This is because practical ability often speaks volumes about your suitability for a role—far more than any exam or certification alone could. In this article, we’ll explore how to build an outstanding AI portfolio that catches the eye of recruiters and hiring managers, including: Why an AI portfolio is crucial for job seekers. How to choose AI projects that align with your target roles. Specific project ideas and real GitHub examples to help you stand out. Best practices for showcasing your work, from writing clear READMEs to using Jupyter notebooks effectively. Tips on structuring your GitHub so that employers can instantly see your value. Moreover, we’ll discuss how you can use your portfolio to connect with top employers in AI, with a handy link to our CV-upload page on Artificial Intelligence Jobs for when you’re ready to apply. By the end, you’ll have a clear roadmap to building a portfolio that will help secure interviews—and the AI job—of your dreams.

Whether you're looking to break into machine learning, deep learning, NLP (Natural Language Processing), or data science, your problem-solving skills and system design expertise are certain to be put to the test. AI‑related job interviews typically involve a range of coding challenges, algorithmic puzzles, and system design questions.

Negotiating Your AI Job Offer: Equity, Bonuses & Perks Explained

Artificial intelligence (AI) has proven itself to be one of the most transformative forces in today’s business world. From smart chatbots in customer service to predictive analytics in finance, AI technologies are reshaping how organisations operate and innovate. As the demand for AI professionals grows, so does the complexity of compensation packages. If you’re a mid‑senior AI professional, you’ve likely seen job offers that include far more than just a base salary—think equity, bonuses, and a range of perks designed to entice you into joining or staying with a company. For many, the focus remains squarely on salary. While that’s understandable—after all, your monthly take‑home pay is what covers day-to-day expenses—limiting your negotiations to salary alone can leave considerable value on the table. From stock options in ambitious startups to sign‑on bonuses that ‘buy you out’ of your current contract, modern AI job offers often include elements that can significantly boost your long-term wealth and job satisfaction. This article aims to shed light on the full scope of AI compensation—specifically focusing on how equity, bonuses, and perks can enhance (or sometimes detract from) the overall value of your package. We’ll delve into how these elements work in practice, what to watch out for, and how to navigate the negotiation process effectively. Our goal is to provide mid‑senior AI professionals with the insights and tools to land a holistic compensation deal that accurately reflects their technical expertise, leadership potential, and strategic importance in this fast-moving field. Whether you’re eyeing a leadership role in machine learning at an established tech giant, or you’re considering a pioneering position at a disruptive AI startup, the knowledge in this guide will help you weigh the merits of base salary alongside the potential riches—and risks—of equity, bonuses, and other benefits. By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of how to align your compensation with both your immediate lifestyle needs and long-term career aspirations.
