Always-On Market Intelligence
for Software Engineering
AI-powered sourcing. Human-led qualification.
Faster, cheaper, smarter hiring.
Why Traditional Dev Recruitment Fails
- Reactive: searches start only after a role opens.
- Slow: 2–3 months to make a hire.
- Expensive: 20–30% fees per placement.
- Always starting from zero.
In engineering, that means missed sprints,
blown deadlines, and overworked teams.
Our Solution: AI + Human Delivery
We’ve built a model that combines AI-driven sourcing
with expert human qualification.
• AI Sourcing: Our engine scans thousands of developers across platforms,
enriching data on skills, tenure, availability, salary signals, and more.
• Human Delivery: Our recruiters validate the shortlist, check context, and send
only interview-ready engineers to your inbox.
• Result: A constant stream of available developers every month + live market insights,
whether you’re hiring right now or not.

We specialise in high-impact engineering roles:
• PHP Developers (Laravel, Symfony, WordPress, Magento, custom builds)
• Backend (Java, .NET, Python, Node.js, Go)
• Frontend (React, Angular, Vue)
• Full-Stack Developers
• DevOps / Cloud Engineers
• Mobile (iOS, Android, Flutter, React Native)

Hemal Vaghela
“We’ve been using Carson Harris for over five years now, since our early startup days, and they’ve been an integral part of our journey. From the outset, they became our first choice for product and UX roles—two areas that are absolutely crucial to the success of our company. Their deep understanding of our needs and ability to deliver top-tier talent has been key to our team’s growth”
Sarah Lamontagne
“Carson Harris have been on our PSL for many years and always one of our first go to’s for software devs and UX designers. They build proper relationships and the calibre of candidate they provide is always top notch. I’ve dealt with dozens of agencies over the years and Carson Harris will always be one of my favourites for the professionalism they provide as well as the relationships I’ve built with them. Could not recommend them more highly!”
Adina Kuse
“ I have used Carson Harris for both perm and contract placements and wholeheartedly recommend them. I always feel incredibly well taken care of and like I am their number one priority. The quality and speed of the short-listing is unmatched and the way they understand how to pitch my company and to manage the candidate flow is great. No-nonsense, refreshingly honest recruiters.”
