Values

The mantras that shape how we work, not just what we say.

Insight First

We lead with market insight, not a sales pitch. Every search starts with genuinely understanding your hiring challenge, not just filling a role.

Credibility, Earned

We don't claim expertise, we prove it: through the relationships we've built and the teams we've helped scale from founding hire to category leader.

Embedded, Not Just Involved

We work as a genuine extension of your team, not a transactional supplier sending CVs over the wall and waiting to hear back.

What our customers say

We can tell you about the amazing things we can do for your business, but we think our customers can tell you better. After all, what they think is what really matters.

I had worked with Enigma before hiring them to recruit some key AI roles for Orbital Materials. we had some pretty specific requirements and a high bar. I've been consistently impressed by the quality of candidates they bring us and the level of understanding for our fairly unique needs. I've recommended them a number of times to other founder friends and will continue using Enigma's services!

Jonathan Goodwin CEO@Orbital - The AI Industrial / ex-DeepMind

Enigma helped me land my current position which I'm loving! Throughout the interview process they provided me with great advice and was always open to talk about any concerns I had. Any time I needed to talk with them, they were immediately available. I would highly recommend Enigma to anyone who is looking for a new position!

Benjamin Klasmer Research Engineer Manager@Synthesia

Enigma has been excellent helping us push forward technical recruiting at Biographica. We've worked with them since our pre-seed round and they has sourced us multiple excellent quality candidates who have since grown into core members and contributors within our team. They're responsive to feedback and capable of finding candidates based on some quite niche and specific requirements. Overall great to work with!

Dominic Hall Founder | PhD Cantab@Biographica

I was able to find a great opportunity through Enigma that I wouldn't have discovered without their network. Enigma stayed in close contact throughout the process and was helpful, supportive, and professional. I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone looking for jobs in the ML space.
