Independent Tech Recruitment Partner
From critical one-off hires to embedded support across multiple roles, I work closely with growing tech teams to deliver permanent and contract talent with care and precision.
Meet Joe. Bringing clarity to nuance, reducing friction, and always prioritising service.
Hiring in tech is noisy. Too many profiles. Too little signal. I work directly with founders and hiring managers to define what great looks like before we jump into resourcing. Every search is tailored, focused, and grounded in the realities of your team.
From senior individual contributors to C-level leaders, I support roles across Software Engineering, Product, Design, and Data. Whether it’s a critical one-off hire or ongoing recruiter-as-a-service support, I prioritise commercial requirements, technical depth, and long-term fit.
For candidates, I offer honest conversations, clear expectations, and access to teams building meaningful products. If you’re hiring, or exploring your next move, let’s start a conversation.
Ready to build a tech team you can rely on? Let’s find the right people together. Contact me today.
I had an excellent experience working with Joe Stacey during a recruitment process for a role that was an outstanding match for my profile. Joe reached out with a genuinely relevant opportunity and supported me throughout the entire process. He kept me consistently up to date, clearly explained each step, and proactively gathered and shared feedback, which made the experience transparent and stress-free.

Joe reached out to me with a role that was a great match for my background, and I immediately liked the opportunity. He explained things clearly and kept the process smooth between me and the employer. What I really valued was how he guided me through every step — giving useful advice, pointing out possible red flags, and sharing material that helped me prepare for my interviews. Joe was a big support, and I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a recruiter who truly cares.

I can thoroughly recommend Joe as a top drawer recruiter who just gets it right. During my recent job search he found me a great role and guided me perfectly at every stage. He was always available to answer any query I had and got the balance spot on between keeping in touch regularly yet never overloading with calls or messages. I really felt like he understood my situation perfectly and was very straightforward to work with.

2 years ago, Joe took time out of work to help review my CV and talk through the kind of role I was looking for. I think this advice made the difference in my job search and helped me to secure my current role at OVO energy. Joe will go above and beyond for people in his network. If you’re considering partnering with a recruiter in the technology space, I couldn’t think of anyone I’d rather work with.

I can’t recommend Joe highly enough. From start to finish, he was absolutely on top of everything. His communication was excellent—calling me every day with updates, keeping me in the loop at all times, and making sure I knew exactly what to expect at each stage. He went above and beyond to prepare me for interviews, providing detailed notes and insights that made a huge difference. Thanks to Joe, I landed a great software engineering role that was a perfect fit.

I had the pleasure of working with Joe during one of my Fractional Product Design gigs in London. Joe was exceptional at communicating client needs and keeping me updated on all developments related to the application. His proactive approach and readiness to chat and assist at every stage made the entire process seamless. Joe also provided invaluable support in crafting a winning proposal, which helped me secure the gig quickly. I highly recommend Joe to anyone looking for guidance in finding their next opportunity—his expertise and dedication are truly unmatched!

Joe helped us find someone in the UX/UI space as it was something we were missing within our existing team. In just a few days Joe provided 3 candidates who were interested in the role. We interviewed all 3 and they were all suitable/highly qualified to what we were looking for. Joe helped us throughout the process, setting up interviews and requesting further information from the candidates. He was always quick to respond and communicated exactly what we were looking for in a candidate. We were able to hire 1 of the 3 candidates and have now started working with them on our next project.

Joe has been absolutely incredible at helping me throughout the interview process. First, he knew exactly who I was and what my area of expertise was, which aligned with the client's expectations. Then he did something almost none of the recruiters I've interacted with in the past ever did: he treated me like a person. He's been available all the steps of the way keeping the communication between us and the client smooth and clear. Eventually, I didn't land the contract but Joe didn't just write me a cold email, he personally called me and told me himself explaining the situation in detail. It's a little thing that meant a lot. Absolutely, 10000/10 would recommend to anyone.

Joe was very helpful whilst I was searching for my next role as a software developer. He took the time to meet up and find out what I was looking for and what type of company and position would fit well for me. Feeling like someone understands your requirements is a much better experience than having jobs sent to you in a haphazard way (as is often the case) and the resulting conversations with employers were the better for it.

Joe was an absolute pleasure to work with, I've spoken to a lot of recruiters and Joe stands out as one of the best. Joe is friendly, accommodating, he listened to the sort of role I was looking for, my motivations. Joe handled communications really well, never over-promised and always delivered. In the future if I ever need a recruiter, as a client or a candidate, Joe is very definitely in the list of people I would call.
