About Franklin Bates

The right people for your next stage of technology. Franklin Bates helps organisations find the technology specialists and leaders they need to build teams and deliver change. We bring particular experience in charities, not-for-profit and membership organisations, and in helping start-ups hire their founding engineers and build founding engineering teams, alongside longstanding partnerships with SMEs and multinational businesses. We recruit across Software Engineering, Cloud, Security, Artificial Intelligence, Data and Project Delivery, supporting permanent appointments, contract and interim requirements, and leadership searches. The hardest technology hires need more than a job advert. They need specialist market knowledge, targeted search and the ability to reach people who may not be actively looking. We take the time to understand what each appointment needs to achieve, the environment someone will be joining and the people they will be working alongside. Drawing on more than 30 years of industry experience, we help clients shape their requirements, understand the talent available and engage the right people. From a founding engineer to an established organisation’s next technology leader, we bring the same care, focus and honest advice to every search. If you are planning a hire, building a team or working out what expertise you need next, we would welcome a conversation.
