Scaleup Recruitment

The Gold Standard In

Recruitment for Scaleups

Richard Wheeler Associates helps CTOs, Software Engineering leaders and HR Directors to recruit exceptional talent to support rapid growth, innovation and product delivery.

We understand the pressures faced by tech scaleups: balancing quality with speed, building carefully put together teams that can support ambitious growth, and maintaining delivery. All whilst preparing for the next funding round.

Our consultative Search & Selection approach focuses on identifying candidates who not only have the technical skills but also align with your culture, leadership style and long-term vision.

With 35+ years’ experience, we use rigorous interviewing and targeted search to help scaleups hire exceptional talent at speed – talent that is rarely available through traditional advertising alone.

Whether you are strengthening your engineering leadership team, expanding product development capability or hiring for critical technical positions, RWA would be happy to share more on our exemplary track record within this specialist software engineering and technology leadership recruitment field.

Our focus is on identifying candidates who combine technical expertise with commercial awareness, people management capability and excellent communication skills. 

At a senior level, people with proven experience of scaling engineering teams and developing scalable platforms; across the piece, real focus is given to cultural fit, adaptability and the ability to deliver within fast-paced, high-growth environments.  

We work closely with CTOs and technology leaders to recruit:

  • software developers

  • engineering managers
  • AI specialists
