"Emerald's structured approach to assessment and post-placement support makes a real difference. Several of the technology professionals placed with us have been with MVW for over two years."

Four problems most organisations hiring technology talent know well.

Emerald is built around the challenges that make technology hiring expensive, slow, and uncertain. If any of these sound familiar, you are in the right place.

Challenge 01

Specialist technology talent is hard to find

Microsoft 365 Cloud, Azure Cloud, Data Engineering, AI and automation, cybersecurity — the roles your teams need are genuinely hard to fill through standard agency channels. Emerald sources from a deep LATAM network with direct access to passive candidates not visible on job boards.

How Emerald sources
Challenge 02

Knowing a candidate will actually deliver before you hire — and thereafter

A CV tells you what someone has done. Emerald Assure tells you whether they will deliver consistently for you. Eight performance dimensions, scored by an experienced technology delivery professional who talks the same language as you. A clear recommendation — not a vague endorsement.

How Emerald Assure works
Challenge 03

Consultants who disengage or leave within 12 months

A failed senior placement can cost tens of thousands of dollars in re-recruitment, management time, and delivery delay. Emerald Sky is a 12-Month Consultant Success Programme — funded from our margin, not yours — that keeps consultants engaged and developing.

How Emerald Sky works
Challenge 04

Lengthy hiring processes that cost you time and the best candidates

By the time a traditional agency delivers a CV stack, your best candidate has accepted another offer. Emerald's pre-assessed talent pool, structured 30-minute Emerald Assure interview, and Delivery Confidence Guarantee mean you can hire with confidence and move faster than your competition.

From brief to placement in three stages.

A repeatable, governed process — every time. No shortcuts. No surprises.

Stage 01

Brief & Source

We agree a precise role specification then source actively from the Emerald talent pool, our LATAM professional network, and targeted outreach — including passive candidates not visible on job boards.

Stage 02

Assure & Present

Every candidate goes through Emerald Assure — a structured evaluation scored across eight performance dimensions. The resulting Candidate Assessment Profile and Emerald Recommendation arrive with your shortlist. Your process validates, it does not need to evaluate.

Stage 03

Place & Support

Once placed, Emerald Sky begins immediately. 12 months of structured reviews, weekly open sessions, and L&D funded by Emerald. The Delivery Confidence Guarantee covers the first 12 weeks.

What Emerald costs — published openly.

Technology placement fees at Emerald are published transparently. Every engagement includes the full Emerald Assure evaluation, the Delivery Confidence Guarantee, and 12 months of Emerald Sky — as standard, not as extras.

A failed senior technology placement can cost tens of thousands of dollars in combined re-recruitment, management time, delayed delivery, and onboarding repetition — almost always more than the placement fee itself. The Delivery Confidence Guarantee is designed to absorb that risk.

"I previously thought a career in technology meant being fully technical — basically, being a programmer. I didn't realise there were other paths in tech, like business analysis or project management, where communication, organisation, and problem-solving are just as important. My conversations with Dave helped me understand what the technology world was actually like, and made me feel excited about the possibilities."

"From the very first conversation with Dave, I felt the focus wasn't just on finding someone to fill a role, but on understanding whether it would be the right fit for everyone involved. For the first time in a recruitment process, I felt I was being evaluated as a whole person, not just my CV or technical skills. Even after joining, that support didn't disappear — Emerald is focused on building relationships, not just making placements."

"Joining a new role can be both exciting and scary, and I'm grateful to have had someone that genuinely cared about my success. The support, encouragement, and commitment to my growth helped me navigate new challenges with confidence and continue developing professionally. Looking back, I'm deeply appreciative of the opportunities, guidance, and trust they placed in me."
