Recruiting for technology roles where the skill gap is real.
Ancilla has recruited technology talent since 1999. The modern practice spans AI/ML, software engineering, data, cloud and infrastructure, cybersecurity, product and senior technology leadership.
Search the environment, architecture and problem—not just the title.
AI, software, infrastructure, data and cybersecurity roles draw from different talent markets. A credible search brief needs enough technical context to identify and evaluate the people who can actually do the work.

Technology search situations where the brief needs more precision.
Build an AI Capability
Separate research, applied AI, ML engineering, product and infrastructure requirements before mapping the candidate market.
Replace or Add a Technical Leader
Define the mandate around architecture, team scale, transformation, product and operating maturity—not title alone.
Find a Scarce Specialist
Target narrowly around production evidence in security, data, platform, cloud, low latency or other constrained talent markets.
Translate a New Technical Need
Turn an emerging business requirement into a search brief that distinguishes must-have depth from learnable adjacent skills.
Technology companies and technology-intensive businesses.
Software & AI Companies
Product engineering, applied AI, infrastructure, data and technical leadership.
Financial Technology
Trading technology, market infrastructure, payments, data platforms and regulated technology environments.
Enterprise Technology
Transformation, platform modernization, cloud, cybersecurity, data and mission-critical engineering.
Technical specificity first.
A credible search brief should explain the technical problem, level, operating environment and evidence required. Ancilla uses that context to map the relevant market and evaluate candidates before presentation.
The technology market is not moving in one direction.
Our long-form analysis looks at why broad technology headlines can hide simultaneous scarcity and contraction across different skill markets.
