Hiring diagnostic
We clarify the mobile role, platform needs, leadership expectations, interview process and what quality looks like for your team.
Who we are best for
Focused mobile hiring where quality matters.
The launch proposition is deliberately narrow: senior iOS, senior Android and mobile leadership roles for UK product companies. Flutter and React Native are considered case by case when the brief still depends on senior mobile product judgement.
Senior iOS Engineer
Senior Android Engineer
Mobile Tech Lead
Mobile Engineering Manager
Head of Mobile
Broader software recruitment is a future expansion area, not the current core offer.
Founder-led screening
Technical evidence before your engineering team spends interview time.
Ryan screens for mobile platform depth, architecture trade-offs, delivery judgement, communication and responsible AI-assisted engineering. Grace keeps outreach, feedback and coordination clear on both sides.
Technical screening
Candidates are assessed for native mobile depth, delivery judgement, communication and practical AI-assisted engineering accountability.
Shortlist evidence
You receive focused context: role fit, screening notes, motivations, availability, compensation context where relevant and risks to probe.
Process support
Ryan and Grace keep the process founder-led while communication, feedback and offer flow stay clear.
Assessment proof
A concise screening document, not another CV summary.
This anonymised format is illustrative only. It shows the sort of structured evidence a client can expect alongside a shortlist, without claiming a real placement, client outcome or candidate result.
Example role: Senior Android Engineer
Shortlist screening snapshot

Architecture and leadership
Relevant evidence
Pragmatic view of modularisation, state management, mentoring and when simpler architecture is the right call.
Responsible AI-assisted engineering
Good evidence
Uses AI tools selectively, protects confidential information, verifies output and remains accountable for final implementation decisions.
