Who we work with - and why

We represent companies we believe in, and we’re selective about who we work with.

Abercorn Sinclair is an independent talent partner specialising in engineering and biotechnology.

We work with a small number of companies whose work has a clear, positive impact-advancing healthcare, enabling new technologies, or improving sustainability.

• We don’t aim to work with everyone.
• We choose to work with organisations we would join ourselves.

A different approach

Recruitment works better when it is built on trust, transparency, and long-term partnership-not volume.

We operate as an extension of our partners, supporting growth from early technical hires through to leadership appointments.

But before any of that begins, we decide whether we want to represent the business.

How we choose our partners

We look beyond stage or funding and focus on:

• The impact of your work
• The integrity of your leadership team
• The experience you offer employees
• The credibility of your technology

If those align, we build long-term partnerships.
If they don’t, we’ll say so.

What we do differently

We don’t “fill roles”.

• We represent your business in the talent market—openly, honestly, and with long-term credibility.
• That includes challenging where needed and prioritising the right outcome over the easy one.

Built on trust

Our reputation with candidates is based on transparency—even when that means advising someone not to take a role.

That trust allows us to access individuals who are not actively looking and represent our partners properly.

Working with Abercorn Sinclair

If you’re looking for a recruiter, we’re probably not the right fit.

If you’re building something meaningful and want a partner who will represent your business as if it were their own, we should talk.
