Franklin Bates
The right people for your next stage of technology_
Every organisation has a different reason for hiring. You may be improving the systems that support your members, appointing your first engineer or finding a technology leader to take your business forward.
Franklin Bates helps organisations find the technology specialists and leaders they need to build teams and deliver change. We take the time to understand what you want to achieve, the environment someone will be joining and what will make them right for your team.
We bring particular experience in charities, not-for-profit and membership organisations, and in helping start-ups build their founding engineering teams, alongside longstanding partnerships with SMEs and multinational businesses.
A personal approach to every search_
Across every organisation we support, our approach starts with listening. We explore what the appointment needs to achieve, advise honestly on the talent available and carry out a targeted search for people with the right skills, motivations and working style.
Drawing on more than 30 years of industry experience, we recruit across Software Engineering, Cloud, Security, Artificial Intelligence, Data and Project Delivery.
Specialist expertise to keep your business moving.
Your next hire may be needed to deliver a project, strengthen an existing team or lead a new stage of growth. Whatever the requirement, you need a recruitment partner who understands the work behind the vacancy.
We support SMEs, consultancies and multinational businesses with permanent appointments, contract and interim expertise, and leadership searches.
Our longstanding client relationships help us build a deeper understanding of each business and carry that knowledge into every new assignment.
Technology talent that understands your purpose.
Your technology supports the people who depend on your organisation. Finding the right person means understanding your priorities, resources and working environment, as well as the technical brief.
We help charities, not-for-profit and membership organisations recruit specialists and leaders across data, CRM, digital, infrastructure, security and change. From strengthening everyday services to delivering a major systems programme, we find people who can work effectively with your colleagues and contribute to your organisation’s goals.
The people who help you build from the beginning.
Your early engineering hires shape your product, your technical decisions and the team that follows. You need people who can take ownership, work through uncertainty and build alongside you.
We help founders hire founding engineers, technical leaders and complementary early engineering teams.
Whether you have a precise brief or need help deciding which skills should come first, we bring specialist market knowledge and focused search to these important appointments.
