Senior engineering at 40 to 60 percent less

Portugal has one of Europe's strongest tech talent markets. Lisbon and Porto have a dense pool of senior engineers trained in local startups, scaleups, and large consultancies, with English as the working language in most teams.

For a company hiring from London or New York, that means three practical things:

Senior specialists, not generalist CVs

We work with engineers, designers, and product people with five years or more of experience, in the specialisms where good talent is hardest to find:

Every candidate is vetted by someone who has built and shipped product themselves. If we would not hire them for a Big Room Tech engagement, we will not put them in front of you.

From brief to shortlist in under two weeks

01

Brief us

Role, stack, team shape, ideal start date.

02

Shortlist in 7 to 10 days

Three vetted candidates with CVs and our view on fit.

03

You interview

Direct interviews, your process, no middleman relay.

04

You hire

The consultant contracts directly with you. We handle introductions, references, and onboarding.

Vetted by operators, not recruiters

Most placement agencies optimise for volume. We optimise for match. Our team runs an advisory firm, so we hire for our own engagements and know what good looks like.

In practice that means:

Pricing is a transparent margin on top of the consultant's day rate. No surprise markup, no retainer.
