-
Understand
A proper brief: why the role exists, what the person has to accomplish, the technical requirements, the team, the pay, the working arrangements, the interview process and what has made it hard to fill so far. We don't search on a job description's keywords.
-
Map
We research the market and identify the people who fit, including the ones who aren't applying anywhere. Direct approaches, networks, referrals and modern sourcing tools.
-
Qualify
A real conversation with every candidate before you hear their name: experience, motivation, salary expectations, notice period, location, other processes, and whether they actually want this role.
-
Introduce
A short list, with the context a CV leaves out. Three properly qualified people are worth more than twenty loosely relevant CVs.
-
Manage
Interviews, feedback, salary, offer, resignation, counter-offer, notice period and start date. We run it through to the day they begin.

For employers
A search, from brief to start date.
You get a short list of people who can do the job and have told us they want it. This is what happens in between.
What you can expect
- Fewer, better introductionsQualified people, with notes on fit, rather than CV volume.
- Search, not advertise-and-waitWe go to the market rather than relying on who applies.
- Market knowledge you can useSalaries, availability and who else is hiring, as we see it.
- The founder on your searchThe person who takes the brief runs the search and stays on it.
Retained or contingent search, agreed per assignment, with terms in writing before any search begins. Permanent, contract and project hiring, from a single hard-to-fill role to resourcing a programme.

-
Discretion
Conversations are confidential, and your CV goes nowhere until you've agreed the company by name.

Stack, team, interview stages and salary band before the first interview, so you can decide properly.

-
Still in touch after you start
When you're hiring, or when you're ready to move again.
About
Founded from inside the technology industry, rather than the recruitment one.
Keldon Search was founded in 2026 by Gurinder Singh. He spent four years as a software engineer at Lloyds Banking Group, having joined through its graduate programme, and has been on the receiving end of technology recruitment. He understands how technology teams work and how to talk to the people in them.
The firm is built on a few plain principles.
- Take a proper brief.
- Search the market instead of waiting for applicants.
- Speak to people before representing them.
- Introduce a few of the right ones, with context.
- See the process through to the start date.
Behind the scenes we lean heavily on modern research, market-mapping and sourcing tools, and we automate the administration so that time goes on judgement and conversations. What clients and candidates get is access, judgement and knowledge of the market, from the person who took the brief.
Keldon Search Ltd is registered in England and Wales and works from London with clients across the UK.
