We value their opinion, market knowledge and advice and their depth of understanding of technical roles is another reason they stand out. The Difference Engine reflects our culture and values, works well with us and strives to provide a great candidate experience.

Mathew Lodge, CEO, OXFORD, UK | DIFFBLUE

I hold The Difference Engine in high regard, as they understand the industry and not only our business requirements, but our diversity initiatives as well. They have helped us source much of the talent on our European IT team and helped us grow our business. Their approach is very straightforward and they understand our culture and values.

Leigh Lafever-Ayer, HR Director, HOME COUNTIES, UK | ENTERPRISE MOBILITY

I very much value the fact that the partnership is actually a friendship where trusting each other has long been a given.

John, Global IT Director, ST LOUIS, USA | AUTOMOTIVE

It's a pleasure working with them. They have taken the time and made the effort to understand our firm. Much appreciated. The candidate flow and profile is finally in our sweet spot! It's a huge step for us.

Satya Pemmaraju, Founder and CEO, NEW YORK, USA | NYAYA

[You] not only get top class service, but also get access to industry intelligence, flexibility in outlook and a highly skilled delivery team.

Mayank Shah, Director, LEICESTER, UK | ESDP

They are true professionals who know what they are doing. Michelle understood my craft and placed me with the right employer - that’s kind of magic she performs. A good listener and effective on her words. I have yet to meet a passionate, tireless and professional recruiter.

Alex, UX Designer, CITY OF LONDON, UK | BANKING

I’ve never before come across this level of personal service from a recruitment consultant. I was coached every step of the way.

Carl, UX Designer, LONDON, UK | INVESTMENT BANKING

Very helpful and supportive throughout the process. What impressed me the most is that they have really taken the time to understand what I do and provide me with insightful feedback, which really sets them apart from their peers. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a career change.

Cannis, Knowledge Engineer, LONDON, UK | FINTECH FIRM
