Who We Are

Two people. Deep experience. One specialist approach.

You work with Jon or Tony directly, the two people whose names are on the door, from the first conversation onwards.

Jon Salter

Senior & staff engineers · UK, Europe & US

I’ve spent 15 years helping venture backed technology companies hire senior & staff engineers across the UK, Europe, and the US.

I partner closely with founders, engineering leaders & talent teams during periods of scale, international expansion & organisational change.

Off the Clock

Outside of work, I spend a disproportionate amount of time over optimising my health, taking board games far too seriously & reassuring my sausage dog that the world isn’t ending every time there’s a noise outside.

Senior & C suite hires · Leadership teams

I work with companies at key moments of growth & change, helping them scale leadership teams & adapt hiring as the business evolves.

I’ve partnered with firms across the UK, Europe, the US, & the Middle East on senior & C suite hires. My approach is calm, direct, & relationship driven, emphasising clarity & momentum throughout the process.

Off the Clock

Outside of work, I’m kept busy by two kids under four, watching England cricket & Chelsea disappoint, & losing squash matches to people twice my age.
