What Our Partners Say

Flexible engagement models for every hiring need

"I highly recommend Brad as a Recruiter. He's communicative, professional, and consistently supportive, always available to answer questions and assist me. Beyond his professional skills, Brad is a genuinely nice and a good person to work with.

Arturo Morales Fernandez
Head of Engineering / AI

"Bradleigh is one of those recruiters who sets the high benchmark by which I judge others."

Paul Mansfield
Staff DevOps Engineer at Illumina

"Brad at Innovare is an expert in Technology Recruiting and a delightful person to work with. He is innovative, organised, as well as helpful and is always open to ideas and suggestions. He is a true collaborator, and I can't recommend him enough."

Raoul Boisset
Senior Technical Recruiter - SiriusXM USA

"Brad at Innovare has been a great agency partner to support the accelerated hiring requirements for us at AVEVA across our development teams. He has the technical aptitude to understand the job requirements and source qualified talent accordingly. He is also very open to feedback and adjusts his search accordingly."

Preeta Garg
Senior Technical Talent Acquisition - Aveva USA

"Working with Bradleigh at Innovare was a genuinely refreshing experience. His communication was clear and consistent, and his soft, personal approach stood out from the typical recruitment style. I always felt well-informed and supported throughout the hiring process. He made a real effort to check in, which shows how much he cares."

Ashley Mosuro
Head of Front End Development - Ex Meta/Amazon

“I’ve worked with Bradleigh at Innovare for the past 10 years, and he’s one of a tiny number of recruiters who communicate clearly and consistently. He listens, asks the right questions, and keeps you fully in the loop, no chasing, no guesswork, just reliable candidates every time. Most recruiters throw CVs at you and hope for the best. Bradleigh takes the time to understand what you truly need and finds people who fit both the role and the company.”

Adam Bower
COO, Conversant Networks

“I’ve worked with Brad at Innovare for the last 7 years. Unlike so many recruiters, he isn’t focused on placements; he is focused on relationships. What stands out in every interaction is that he genuinely cares about the people he represents. Brad took the time to understand the business, my hiring philosophy, and me as an individual. As a result, he consistently brought forward extremely high-calibre candidates, and I hired some of the best developers I’ve ever worked with. Whether you’re a founder, hiring manager, or candidate, I can’t recommend Brad highly enough.”

Matt Mason
Director of Engineering, Monzo Bank — Ex Amazon

"I've worked with Brad for nearly a decade now. Brad takes the time to understand our hiring profile and communicates quickly with us and with candidates. He consistently submits well-qualified, motivated and aligned candidates, which allows us to run efficient and effective hiring that underpins our values. As a result, I hope to work with him for a long time to come."

Senior Lecturer for Computer Science, Cambridge University & Group CTO (AI / Crypto)
