Ag Talent

AG Talent | Founder Led Tech Recruitment AG Talent is a founder led tech recruitment partner working with scaling teams across the UK, Europe and the United States. The business exists to fix broken tech hiring. Too much CV volume. Too little judgement. Processes that drain senior time and lead to expensive mistakes that compound over months, not weeks. AG Talent works closely with founders, CTOs and engineering leaders who care more about getting the hire right than getting it fast. Engagements are intentionally low volume and high touch, with founder level involvement from role definition through to hire. Our work is guided by a few simple principles. We prioritise judgement over volume. Hiring problems are rarely caused by a lack of candidates. They are caused by unclear thinking, rushed decisions, and weak screening. We focus on clarity upfront and disciplined assessment so decisions are made with confidence. We take founder level ownership. We are accountable for outcomes, not activity. No handoffs, no hiding behind process, and no false momentum created by CV volume. We respect senior time. Founders and CTOs should not be spending evenings reviewing unsuitable profiles or sitting in unnecessary interviews. We do the work upfront so leadership time is protected. We represent roles and candidates honestly. No overselling, no hidden risks, and no pressure to force a hire. Long term trust matters more than short term wins. We optimise for hiring decisions that stand up over time. That means placing product minded, commercially aware engineers and technical leaders who can own problems end to end, not just meet a checklist. AG Talent specialises in hiring across Software Engineering, DevOps & SRE, Data, AI & ML, and Engineering Leadership through to CTO. This is recruitment built around judgement, ownership, and long term outcomes.+44 (0) 7791 141 227 agillard@agtalent.co.uk https://cal.com/arjgillard
