Executive search
A better hiring experience
Fewer CVs.
Better conversations.
Stronger hires.
Good recruitment is not about sending the largest shortlist. It is about understanding the business, the role and the people who are genuinely right for it.
01
Understand the brief
Before searching, Firefly takes the time to understand the role, team, environment and what success actually looks like.
02
Quality over volume
Shortlists should contain people worth meeting, not a pile of CVs sent simply to create activity.
03
Straight communication
Clear expectations, honest market feedback and regular communication throughout the hiring process.
Local Buy Approved Supplier
Firefly is approved for permanent and contract technology recruitment through Local Buy procurement arrangements.
How we can help
Permanent and contract technology recruitment.
- Permanent appointments
- Specialist and senior technology hires made for the long term, with time spent understanding the team, the role and what success looks like.
- Day-rate contractors
- Experienced contractors for projects, delivery peaks and capability gaps, introduced with context rather than a stack of CVs.
- Specialist and difficult-to-fill roles
- Roles where the market is thin, the skill set is niche or the right person is not actively looking.
- Senior and leadership hires
- Technology leadership appointments, supported through Firefly's executive search approach where the mandate calls for it.

Technology recruitment with real market focus.

Relationship-led recruitment
Work with someone who knows the market, and your business.
Firefly’s goal is not to win one vacancy. It is to understand your organisation well enough to become the recruitment partner you return to over time.
Clients work directly with experienced recruiters who stay close to the process from initial brief through to hire. That means fewer handovers, clearer communication and real context behind every vacancy.
Built for the 100th hire, not just the first.
