DevelGuru

Headhunting for the roles you can't afford to get wrong.

When one hire moves the needle, you don't send out LinkedIn messages in bulk. You find the right person. We run targeted executive and senior-level searches for IT and AI roles across Europe - you pay only when we deliver.

Who headhunting fits.

  • You have a specific role that matters
  • A job ad won't fill it, the right candidate isn't actively looking
  • You need discretion - it is a replacement or executive search
  • You want to pay only on delivery - no hire, no fee

How the search works.

  1. 1

    Briefing

    45–60 min session. Role, team, stack, culture, deal-breakers.

  2. 2

    Market mapping

    We identify target companies and the relevant people in them.

  3. 3

    Outreach and screening

    Direct, personal outreach. A senior developer technically screens candidates before the shortlist.

  4. 4

    Presentation and close

    You receive 3–5 candidates with a written note on each. We guide offer negotiation and signing.

What sets us apart.

Deep tech call

We run a 1–2 hour technical interview with the candidate and a senior developer from our team. You get a detailed technical report that goes beyond what an HR screen would catch.

Passive candidates

We actively reach people who don't respond to job ads. Our network extends beyond LinkedIn replies.

Systematic process

Every candidate we reach out to gets a response. No one falls through the cracks, which builds your reputation too.

No mass mailings

Targeted searches, not bulk LinkedIn blasts. Every outreach message is personalised.

Roles we place.

Senior backend (.NET, Java, Python, Node.js, Ruby, PHP, C++), senior frontend (React, Angular), fullstack engineering, tech lead, staff engineer, engineering manager, CTO, AI/ML engineers, MLOps, data engineering, DevOps/Cloud, system architect, IT architect, SAP consultant, QA lead, product manager.

Specialisation: technically demanding and senior roles, from mainstream stacks to AI. We are not only an AI agency; AI is our strongest card, but we also place senior backend, frontend, fullstack, DevOps, and specialist roles.

How pricing works.

Success-fee model - you pay only when a hire is made. The fee depends on role seniority, urgency, specialisation, and replacement guarantee terms. We send a written quote within one business day.
