Adapt Talent

Adapt Talent is a specialist recruitment partner for emerging technology sectors such as artificial intelligence, blockchain and robotics. It also recruits in semiconductor, trading and quant, and eCommerce, and fills engineering and research roles for clients ranging from newly founded startups to global companies.

The company offers permanent (contingent), contract, retained and RPO services. It also runs a global outsourcing arm, Adapt Global Commerce, which targets eCommerce candidates in regions such as South America and Eastern Europe and which, the company says, saves US clients around 50% in employment costs. It says it headhunts, maps competitors' markets and uses sources such as GitHub repositories, Discord, AngelList and Reddit to find candidates.

Sam Marsh is the founder, with Josh Barker and Kieran Toner as directors. The company has offices in Carlsbad, California, Philadelphia and Basildon, Essex, and its founder's stated focus is to scale it in Europe and the US.
