We listen and learn from our employees. With uncapped commission and promotion opportunities, we create limitless potential.
But this potential requires support. We invest heavily in both training and development. Our world class trainers and programmes instil confidence, knowledge and essential skills in our consultants.

OUR STORY
PAST TO
PRESENT
When Simon Clarke and David Farmer left their recruitment careers behind to found a company that was born to be “different”, they had a laser-sharp vision to build that business in the Data & AI recruitment sector.
From its humble beginnings – aka Simon’s living room – Harnham grew into a specialist data partner and became instrumental to the tech industry in sourcing new data talent. Combine a thriving market, clear aspirations, blossoming industry reputation and an unrivalled culture to nurture an expert team – and the rest as they say – is History.
