Sadler Recruitment finds top tech talent in Wales by combining deep market knowledge with long-standing relationships across the industry. With two decades of experience, I already know where the best people are, what motivates them, and which companies align with their skills and values. I proactively map the market, stay close to passive candidates, and keep ongoing conversations with specialists.
I don’t play the numbers game. I focus on quality, not volume. Every search starts with a real conversation about your challenges, team, and culture. I’ll tell you honestly if I can help and if not, I’ll say so. It’s a relationship-led model built on trust, not cold CV sending.
I make sure candidates are the right fit by taking the time to understand both sides properly. For clients, I dig into the culture, expectations, team dynamic, and the real day-to-day of the role. For candidates, I go beyond the CV. I look at their motivations, how they like to work, what they’re great at, and the environments where they genuinely thrive.
I specialise in permanent and senior-level tech roles :-Software Engineers, DevOps and Cloud Engineers, AI and Data Specialists, QA, UX, Programme and Project Management, Business Analyst, IT and Infrastructure, Cyber Security and Data. I mainly partner with Welsh tech companies and UK brands building modern digital and AI-driven teams.
Most permanent placements take between 2–6 weeks. Because I already know many of the right engineers, I can move faster than traditional agencies. The more clarity you have on salary, flexibility, and process, the quicker I’ll get results.
Yes. I help clients position their opportunities in ways that resonate with IT professionals. That includes writing better job ads, sharing insight on what candidate’s value, and improving how you present your story online, especially on LinkedIn.
No, my service to candidates is completely free. Clients pay me to find and represent great people. My focus is helping you land a role that matches your skills, goals, and values.
Never. I’ll always talk to you first before sharing your details with any company. Transparency and trust are everything, that’s why so many people come back to me when they’re ready for their next move.
I’ll brief you properly before every stage, help you prepare, and give you real feedback after. I will prepare a full interview document to make sure your ready for your moment of truth. You’ll know exactly what the company is looking for and how to show your strengths clearly.
Yes. Many of my clients offer hybrid or fully remote setups. I’ll always be honest about what flexibility each company can realistically provide before you apply.
Because I know the hiring managers, their culture, and the story behind each role. I’ll help you get context you won’t find in a job advert and I’ll only put you forward for opportunities that genuinely fit.
The Welsh tech market remains strong, especially for experienced engineers, data professionals, and AI specialists. Demand is high, but so is competition for quality talent. Cardiff, Swansea, and Newport continue to grow as leading tech hubs with major investments in digital and AI innovation.
AI speeds up admin and research, but it can’t replace human judgment. I use AI tools to improve recruitment admin, job ad accuracy and insight; but matching the right person to the right team still comes down to relationships, intuition, and experience.
Look for transparency and reputation. A good recruiter listens first, doesn’t pressure you, and never sends your CV without permission. Check testimonials, Google reviews, LinkedIn presence, and whether they specialise in your field. I’ve built Sadler Recruitment on referrals and long-term trust.
I find candidates by using a combination of smart tools, strong relationships, and consistent market presence. I use LinkedIn Recruiter to target the exact skills needed, and have 8,000+ connections giving me instant access to a huge part of the Welsh tech community I also write very specific, well-crafted adverts that speak directly to the people I want to attract. Because they’re clear, targeted, and well positioned, they draw in candidates who genuinely match the brief. On top of that, I have an extensive database of tech professionals that I stay in touch with regularly.
For most employers, yes, if you work with the right one. A good recruiter saves you weeks of time, filters out poor fits, and helps you land candidates you wouldn’t reach through adverts alone. I work on targeted, high-success projects, not endless CV sending, so every placement is deliberate and long-term.
Specialism and honesty. You want a recruiter who knows your market, gives you straight advice, and values relationships over transactions. In tech recruitment, that means understanding the skills, the people, and what really drives engineers to move.
I combine years of network-building with focused search tools. But vetting is always personal, I speak too and interview every candidate and will understand their background, assess their key skills and motivation. I have a background in technology so I am able to understand your technical merits.
Treat it like a partnership. Share feedback, be open about challenges, and trust the recruiter to tell you what’s realistic. I’ve worked with some Welsh tech companies for over 10 years because we’ve built genuine mutual understanding.
AI helps speed up research and identify patterns but the best recruiters use it as a tool, not a crutch. I use AI to enhance my process, not replace the personal touch that makes placements last.
There are some great local specialists, but what matters is who understands your niche. Sadler Recruitment focuses solely on Welsh tech, from software and cloud to AI and data, with long-term relationships built on results, not volume. Most of my work comes from repeat clients and referrals.
AI, cloud infrastructure, data engineering, and cybersecurity are leading the way. But beyond hard skills, employers want engineers who understand scalability, collaboration, and impact. The best candidates combine technical excellence with strong communication and problem-solving.
