About Kendlmere

Recruitment done differently.

Kendlmere was founded on a simple belief: great recruitment is about understanding people and technology — not just matching CVs to job descriptions. We take the time to understand the culture of every business we work with and the career goals of every candidate we represent.

Our focus is IT and technology. We know this space deeply — the tools, the team structures, the career paths, and what separates a good hire from a great one. That depth of knowledge means faster, more accurate placements and partnerships built on genuine trust.

Whether you're hiring your next 2nd line engineer or building out an entire infrastructure team, we're the partner you want in your corner.

Candidate first

We treat every candidate as a long-term partner, not a placement fee.

IT specialists only

Technology is all we do — no generalist staffing, no diluted expertise.

Quality over volume

Fewer, better candidates. We only put forward people we'd hire ourselves.

Long-term thinking

We care about where you and your team are heading, not just today's vacancy.

How we work

A process built on clarity.

  1. Discovery

    We start by listening. Before we talk candidates, we take the time to understand your team, your culture, your tech stack, and what success actually looks like in this hire. No assumptions, no templates.

  2. Search

    We go beyond the job boards. Our network is built candidate by candidate through genuine relationships — which means we can reach talent that isn't actively looking, not just the people already applying.

  3. Shortlist

    Every candidate is thoroughly screened against your brief — technically and culturally. We present a focused shortlist, not a stack of CVs. You'll only spend time with people genuinely worth meeting.

  4. Placement & beyond

    We manage the process through offer, acceptance and onboarding. And we stay in touch — because a successful hire is the start of a long-term relationship, not the end of one.

Get in touch

Let's talk talent.

Whether you're a business looking to hire or a professional exploring your next move, we'd love to hear from you.
