Domain Knowledge, Not Just a Job Board

We recruit across architecture and security - both areas where domain knowledge is what separates a credible contractor from a gap-filler. Our consultants specialise, so the shortlist is qualified, not just available.

Architecture Contracts

Contract and interim across the full architecture stack: Enterprise, Solution and Technical Architecture, Business Architecture, Data Architecture, Application Architecture, and Technology and Cloud Architecture. Available inside and outside IR35.

Security Contracts

Contract security roles: Security Architecture, CISO and vCISO, Identity and Access Management, Offensive Security, Cloud Security, GRC, and Security Engineering. Inside and outside IR35, SC and DV cleared where needed.

Inside and Outside IR35

We support both inside and outside IR35 engagements. We handle IR35 status determination and can advise on compliant engagement models - umbrella, limited company, or statement of work - depending on your requirements and the role.

Senior and interim appointments

For senior contract and interim roles - interim heads of architecture, acting CTOs, principal architects stepping in to lead a programme - we move quickly. Our maintained networks mean we can present credible candidates within 48 hours, often from passive talent that won't respond to a job board.

Frequently asked questions

What contract and interim roles do you place?

Across the full BDAT-S stack: enterprise, solution, technical, business, data, application and cloud architects, plus security architects, CISOs, vCISOs and security specialists. From hands-on practitioners to interim heads of discipline.

Do you handle IR35 determination?

Yes. We handle IR35 status determination and can advise on compliant engagement models - umbrella, limited company, or statement of work. We place both inside and outside IR35, and advise on the most appropriate approach for each role.

How quickly can you share candidates?

For contract and interim roles we typically share profiles within 48 hours of briefing. For senior interim appointments we agree a timeline based on seniority and market availability, but we move faster than retained search.

Can you find SC or DV cleared contractors?

Yes. We have a strong network of SC cleared architects and security contractors, with DV cleared candidates available, built through over five years of supporting UK government and defence clients.

Do you place contractors outside the UK?

Yes. We place contractors across the UK, Europe and the US. Engagement model and IR35 applicability will depend on jurisdiction - we advise on this as part of the briefing.

What if I need someone for longer than a standard contract?

We handle extensions as a matter of course, and can advise on when a long-running contract role might be better structured as a permanent or retained hire. We will flag that proactively rather than just rolling a contract indefinitely.
