For clients
Recruitment that understands your ecosystem
We work exclusively in data, analytics, and cloud — so we already know the roles you're hiring for, the tools your teams use, and the calibre of candidate you actually need.
Why clients choose DBG
Most recruiters learn your world from a job spec. We already live in it. Our founders have spent years placing technical and commercial talent across data engineering, analytics, cloud infrastructure, and GTM — across the UK, US, and Benelux — which means we ask better questions, qualify harder, and only introduce candidates who genuinely fit. Whether you need a retained search for a business-critical hire, contract resource on a T&M or SOW basis, contingency support for a fast-moving role, or a strategic talent partner to help you build a function, we have four engagement models designed to match the way you actually work.
How we work with you
Discovery call
We start by understanding the role in depth — the team structure, the tech stack, the culture, and what success looks like in the first six months. This isn't a tick-box exercise; it shapes every decision we make.
Targeted search
We draw on our network and active market knowledge to identify candidates who genuinely fit — not just those who are available. We're not blasting CVs; we're making considered approaches to the right people.
Rigorous assessment
Every candidate is properly screened before you see them. We assess technical credibility, commercial awareness, and cultural alignment — and we brief them fully on your business before any introduction.
Considered introduction
You receive a shortlist of candidates we'd genuinely recommend — with clear context on why each person fits. No padding, no volume play. Just the right people.
Ongoing support
We stay involved through offer, acceptance, and onboarding. We manage counteroffers, keep candidates engaged, and make sure the placement sticks.
Four ways we can work together
Retained search
For senior or business-critical hires where thoroughness matters more than speed. We commit fully to your search; you get our undivided focus and a structured process from day one.
Contract recruitment
For teams that need flexible resource fast. We place contractors on both a time-and-materials basis and under a statement of work — covering everything from short-term capacity gaps to defined project deliverables.
Contingency recruitment
For roles where you want to move quickly. We work in parallel with your timeline and only invoice on a successful placement.
Advisory & partnerships
For businesses building out a function or scaling a team. We act as a strategic talent partner — advising on market rates, team structure, and candidate availability alongside active search.
