The global tech talent market is highly competitive. Good cloud engineers, DevOps specialists, cybersecurity professionals, and performance marketers are scarce — and the most talented people rarely respond to job boards. Avrix Digital's talent acquisition specialists combine deep technical knowledge with an extensive network of active and passive candidates to help businesses find and hire the right people, faster. We place permanent, contract, and interim talent across technology and digital disciplines — working with startups hiring their first engineer to established businesses building out entire technical teams. Our process is rigorous, our candidate assessments are thorough, and our success rate speaks for itself. No placement, no fee for permanent roles.
Why Hiring Tech and Digital Talent Is Harder Than Ever The global tech talent shortage shows no sign of slowing down. Demand for cloud engineers, DevOps professionals, data engineers, cybersecurity analysts, and skilled digital marketers consistently outstrips supply across every major market. The best candidates are approached by multiple employers simultaneously, have several offers on the table at any given moment, and accept the opportunity that moves fastest — not necessarily the one that pays most. Businesses that hesitate, communicate poorly, or run slow hiring processes lose top talent to competitors every single time. Generic recruitment agencies compound the problem by prioritising volume over quality — sending across CVs of candidates who are available rather than candidates who are genuinely qualified and interested in your specific opportunity. Hiring managers waste hours interviewing people who were never right for the role, and the vacancy stays open for months.
Avrix Digital does the opposite. We take time to understand your business, your culture, your team dynamics, and what makes your opportunity genuinely compelling before approaching a single candidate. We brief candidates properly — so when they apply, they're already bought in. We only present people we would personally vouch for. And we stay with you through the offer, the counter-offer, and the first 90 days in the role — because a successful placement isn't someone who starts, it's someone who's still thriving a year later.
We place technology roles including Cloud Engineers (AWS, Azure, GCP), DevOps and Platform Engineers, Software Developers (Python, React, Node.js), Data Engineers, Cybersecurity Analysts and Architects, and IT Infrastructure Specialists. In digital marketing, we place PPC and Paid Media Managers, SEO Specialists, GA4 and Analytics professionals, Content Strategists, and Performance Marketing Directors. We also place fractional CTOs and interim technical leadership.
No. For permanent placements, we work on a success-only basis — our fee is only payable when a candidate accepts an offer and starts in the role. Our standard fee is 12–15% of the candidate's first-year salary, depending on seniority and specialism. For contract staffing, we charge a competitive weekly margin on the contractor's day rate.
For roles within our core specialisms, we typically present a shortlist of 3–5 qualified, interested candidates within 10–14 working days of receiving a brief. Urgent requirements — particularly for contract and interim roles — can often be staffed within 3–5 working days. Speed depends on the specificity of the brief and the candidate market for the role.
We provide a rebate or replacement guarantee on all permanent placements. If a placed candidate leaves within 12 weeks of starting (for any reason other than role change or redundancy), we will conduct a replacement search at no additional charge. We take long-term success seriously — not just getting the hire over the line.
Yes. Many of the businesses we work with struggle to articulate their employer value proposition — why a talented engineer or marketer should choose them over a better-known competitor. We offer employer branding consultancy as part of our talent acquisition service, including careers page content, job description writing, and advice on compensation benchmarking for your target candidate profiles.
