Phase2 Talent / Specialist Engineering
Specialist Engineering Recruitment Across APAC and EMEA
Phase2 Talent helps technology businesses hire engineers for complex software, platform and infrastructure work. We focus on hard-to-fill technical roles and engineering leadership rather than volume hiring.
Why specialist engineering search is different
Strong engineers are usually well employed and selective. A generic job advert rarely reaches them, and a generic message rarely gets a reply. Hiring them takes a direct conversation about the problem, the team and the technical direction.
We concentrate on demanding environments such as distributed systems, platform and infrastructure engineering, where the gap between a good hire and a great one is large and the market is small.
Roles we search for
- Software Engineers
- Platform Engineers
- Infrastructure Engineers
- Distributed Systems Engineers
- Site Reliability Engineers
- Security Engineers
- Engineering Managers
- Heads of Engineering and Engineering Leaders
We work with technology companies and digital infrastructure businesses hiring senior and specialist engineers, as well as the leaders who build and run engineering teams.
How we run a search
Every search is direct and considered. We offer retained, contingency and embedded models depending on the role.
- Agree the briefWe start with the role, the team and what good looks like, so the search is aimed at the right profile.
- Map the marketWe identify the relevant people and companies, including those who are not actively looking.
- Approach directlyWe speak to people with a specific opportunity and a clear reason it fits.
- Shortlist and closeYou see a considered shortlist, and we manage the process through to offer.
