“The Senior Microsoft Data & AI talent your business needs is passive. They are not applying. They are reachable only through a network built specifically in this market – and a process credible enough to make them move.”

Data & AI
Most Data & AI hiring fails before the search starts. Roles are scoped for a generalist when the platform needs a Fabric-native architect. Compensation is benchmarked against the wrong market. By the time the brief is right, the best candidates have moved – for Microsoft Partners and End-User teams building serious data capability.

Security
Microsoft Security hiring fails when the brief is too broad and the search too shallow. Defender architects, Sentinel engineers, and CISOs with genuine hands-on stack experience are a small universe – for Microsoft Partners building security practices and organisations hardening their Azure environments.

Workplace
Modern Work practice leadership is consistently underestimated as a hiring challenge. The people who can drive Copilot adoption, lead an M365 transformation, and give clients confidence are rarely visible and rarely available – for Microsoft Partners scaling Modern Work delivery and organisations moving off legacy collaboration platforms.

How We Work
Three stages. No volume drops. No wasted process.
01 — Alignment
Before any search begins, we run a stakeholder alignment call to scope the role precisely — compensation, culture, technical requirements, and what a successful hire actually looks like in six months. Most searches fail because this conversation never happens. Ours starts here.
02 — Market Mapping
Within the first week, you receive a map of the available talent in the relevant Microsoft ecosystem across DACH and the US. You see the landscape — who exists, what they are earning, and what it will take to move them — before a single candidate is approached.
03 — Curated Shortlist
Three to five candidates. Each with a written narrative covering stack depth, seniority, cultural fit, and why they are worth your time. Never a volume drop. Never a CV without context. The average time from search open to accepted offer is six weeks.
Every search is retained. That means our incentive is the same as yours — the right hire, closed, at pace.
What clients say
Microsoft Partners and enterprise data teams across DACH and the US.
Every client reference is available on request. If you want to speak directly to someone we have placed or worked with — we will make the introduction.
