Markets
Four specialist markets since 2010, recruited by the people who know them.
Our recruitment consultants go deeper into “tech”.
Each one specialises in a single market: Product, UX & Design, Data & AI or Engineering, and knows it well enough to tell the genuinely strong candidate from the well-written CV.
That's why our CV-to-interview ratio leads the industry, and why so many of the people we place come back years later to hire through us.
From start-ups building their first product team to enterprise leaders scaling globally, we deliver permanent, contract, fractional and executive hires across the UK, US, Europe and the Middle East.

What people say
Don't take our word for it.
A selection from our 200+ 5* global Google reviews.
“I've been working with Consortia for 7 years. They have helped me hire great UX researchers and UI designers in two organisations. The team really listen to the needs and contexts of the roles I hire for. They take time to understand how this translates to individual candidates and only put forward serious good fits. This has resulted in a great deal of time being saved, positive impact on the teams that new staff joined and benefit for the hires themselves who experience being a good fit.”
“Working with Joe at Consortia has been an absolute pleasure - every candidate he has provided to us has been a home run and we can't wait to work with him again in future. Thank you very much, Consortia, and especially Joe who has been extremely dependable.”
“Diligent, responsive and properly on top of things. One of the best recruiters I've worked with. I'd happily recommend them.”
“Every candidate they sourced was an exact match, which saved us real time. More of a trusted partner now than a recruiter.”
“Brilliant people work here. They care about the whole recruitment process and are always there for candidates throughout.”
“An extremely smooth experience, with quality candidates and outstanding precision throughout the process.”
“Expert developers are thin on the ground, but Consortia swiftly provided a strong shortlist and we made a successful appointment.”
“Napoleon was very helpful in mediating between me and my new employer :-).”

You'll be the type of lead who wants to sit across the table from senior stakeholders, shape flagship initiatives and be the person they turn to for product direction. As a Lead Product Manager, you’ll do exactly that for our client, a consultancy partnering with an elite asset manager in New York. Joining a high-caliber consulting team, you’ll lead complex, client-facing product work that genuinely moves the needle, not just incremental BAU. You’ll be on-site in Manhatten embedded with stakeholders, building trust, challenging thinking and turning nuanced investment workflows into products that front-office teams rely on. What You'll Do As Lead Product Manager, own the product strategy and roadmap for complex asset management initiatives, aligning features and workflows with your client’s portfolio, distribution and operational goals. Act as the key product partner for senior external stakeholders, running workshops, managing expectations and negotiating priorities in a demanding client environment. Lead cross-functional delivery teams (engineering, UX, data) from discovery through delivery, using agile and hypothesis-led development to ship, learn and iterate at pace.

Direct, hands-on product experience in asset management, with an understanding of institutional investors, investment vehicles, portfolio management processes and related workflows. A track record of working with external clients or in a consulting environment, confidently managing and influencing senior stakeholders rather than operating purely internally. A data-driven, commercial mindset, comfortable spotting upsell or cross-sell opportunities and backing recommendations with evidence.

Product Engineer
AI Native Product Engineer We're working with a well-funded, early-stage startup with ambitious plans to build the next generation of AI native applications. The team is developing intelligent products that go beyond traditional software, using large language models, autonomous AI agents and advanced automation to understand user intent, make decisions and complete complex tasks. This is an opportunity for a Product Engineer who combines strong software engineering skills with genuine product thinking. You'll join a small, highly capable team, taking ideas from concept to production and helping shape how AI is integrated into everyday digital experiences. You'll be working on challenging problems around agent orchestration, contextual memory, tool integration and building reliable AI systems that can operate in real-world environments. What You'll Do Design, develop and ship AI native product features, taking ownership from concept through to production. Build scalable backend services, APIs and integrations using Python and modern engineering technologies. Develop AI agent workflows capable of reasoning through tasks, interacting with external tools and executing multi-step processes. Integrate LLMs, retrieval augmented generation (RAG) and contextual memory to create more personalised and intelligent user experiences. Build reliable systems around AI models, including orchestration, error handling, monitoring and evaluation. Work closely with engineers, designers and product stakeholders to turn complex AI capabilities into intuitive, practical products. Experiment with emerging AI technologies and continuously improve products based on performance and user feedback. What You'll Bring Strong software engineering experience with a track record of building and launching digital products. Hands-on backend development experience, ideally using Python. Practical experience building applications using LLM APIs, RAG, AI agents or agent orchestration frameworks. Understanding of how AI models interact with backend services, databases, APIs and external tools. Experience with scalable system architecture, cloud infrastructure and production engineering. Ability to work across the stack, with technologies such as TypeScript, React, Go or similar. Strong product instincts, technical ownership and confidence working in fast-moving environments. Experience with FastAPI, PostgreSQL, AWS, Kubernetes, LangGraph, LangChain or similar technologies would be beneficial, although we're more interested in engineering ability and what you've actually built than a perfect technology match. What's On Offer The opportunity to help build ambitious AI native products from an early stage. Genuine ownership of technical decisions, architecture and product development. Challenging engineering problems across LLMs, AI agents, automation and distributed systems. A small, highly capable team that values autonomy, collaboration and engineering quality. The opportunity to experiment with emerging AI technologies and bring new ideas into production. Competitive compensation and the chance to make a meaningful impact. The Opportunity This role is suited to an engineer who wants to do more than integrate an AI chatbot into an existing application. You'll help build products where AI is central to how the software works, enabling intelligent systems to understand context, coordinate actions and complete meaningful tasks on behalf of users. If you're excited about building with AI, enjoy solving difficult engineering problems and want the freedom to take real ownership, we'd love to hear from you. Consortia is a specialist recruitment agency working across Engineering, Product, Data and UX. If this opportunity isn't quite right but you're open to exploring others, we'd still welcome a conversation.
