We care about doing great work and delivering the best possible experience for our clients and candidates.
25 Years of Recruitment. Built for What Comes Next.
Certus was founded in 2001 with a simple belief: great businesses are built by great people.
A lot has changed since then. New technologies have transformed industries, new markets have emerged and the way businesses attract, hire and retain talent has changed beyond recognition. We've evolved with it.
Today, Certus helps ambitious technology businesses build the teams they need across Go-to-Market and Technology, from individual specialist hires and leadership appointments to contract, interim, fractional and project-based talent solutions.
Across 25 years, we've made more than 6,500 placements across 19 countries. But our approach remains deliberately personal: understand the business, understand the challenge and find the people capable of making a genuine difference.
The Values That Define Us
Certus has evolved enormously since we started in 2001, but the values that define us haven't changed.
For 25 years, we've built our business around long-term relationships — with clients, candidates and each other. We care about what we do, bring energy to every challenge, deliver on our commitments and believe in being straightforward, even when the conversation isn't easy.
These aren't values created for a website. They're part of who we are, how we work and the standards we expect from ourselves every day.
Passion. Energy. Commitment. Integrity. Fun.
Passion
Energy
We bring enthusiasm, positivity and momentum to every challenge.
Commitment
We do what we say we're going to do — and take responsibility for delivering.
Integrity
We build relationships through honesty, trust and doing the right thing.
Fun
We love what we do, value the people we work with and celebrate success along the way.
Global Reach. Local Expertise.
From our teams in the UK, USA and Australia, Certus supports businesses hiring across some of the world's most important technology markets.
We combine local market knowledge with an international network, helping clients access the right talent wherever growth takes them. Whether you're making a single specialist hire, building an entirely new team or entering a new market, you benefit from people who understand both the talent landscape and the realities of hiring there.
Our reach extends far beyond the locations where we have offices. We've successfully placed people across 19 countries, supporting businesses as they launch, scale and build teams internationally.
But global reach doesn't mean a distant service. You work with people who know your business, understand the assignment and remain accountable for delivering it.
25 years. 6,500+ placements. 19 countries. One Certus.
Big Enough to Deliver. Personal Enough to Care.
After 25 years, we've deliberately kept one thing at the heart of Certus: personal accountability.
We're an owner-led business, and our senior people remain actively involved with our clients, our teams and the work we deliver. You won't disappear into layers of account management or find that the people who won your business are nowhere to be seen once the work starts.
That gives us the experience and international capability to handle complex hiring challenges, while remaining agile enough to adapt, move quickly and genuinely care about the outcome.
For us, recruitment has always been personal. It still is.
Built Around the Businesses We Know Best
For 25 years, we've worked at the intersection of people, technology and growth. Today, that expertise is focused on two areas where great talent can have an outsized impact: Go-to-Market and Technology.
We help businesses build the teams that create demand, win customers and drive revenue — alongside the technical teams that build, develop and deliver the products and infrastructure behind them.
Our clients range from emerging, high-growth businesses making their first critical hires to established organisations building new teams, entering new markets or transforming existing ones.
Go-to-Market
Sales · Marketing · Customer Success · Revenue Operations · Partnerships · GTM Leadership
Technology
Software Engineering · Product · Data & AI · Cloud & Infrastructure · Architecture · Technical Leadership
Every hiring challenge is different. We shape the solution around the outcome you need — whether that's Executive Search, Permanent Recruitment, Contract & Interim, Fractional Leadership or a broader Talent Solution.
Experienced Leaders. Personally Invested.
Certus remains an owner-led business, with senior people actively involved in our clients, our teams and the work we deliver.
After 25 years in recruitment, we've learned that the best results rarely come from simply filling a brief. They come from understanding the business behind it — where it's going, what the hire needs to achieve and the type of person who will succeed there.
That senior involvement matters. It means experience isn't reserved for the initial conversation before an assignment is handed elsewhere. The people responsible for our business remain close to our clients and accountable for the quality of what Certus delivers.
We're proud of what we've built over 25 years — and we're still personally invested in every relationship that comes next.
