i4 Talent

i4 Talent is a boutique recruitment firm with 27+ years of combined experience, led by founder Matt Ravenell. The company specialises in connecting visionary startups with game-changing talent through an agile, hands-on approach. Operating with a small team that delivers fast turnaround times, i4 Talent provides direct access to decision-makers and personalised service that larger firms cannot match.

Focusing exclusively on software engineering roles, i4 Talent recruits for senior, staff, principal, and distinguished-level positions across infrastructure, operations, DevOps, databases, platforms, and full-spectrum skills including web, cloud, mobile, systems, and machine learning. The company offers flexible payment models: contingent-based fees for mid to senior software engineers and retained-based fees with success fees for principals, VPs and above.

i4 Talent's philosophy centres on understanding startup culture and ensuring each candidate is a perfect technical and cultural fit. The company provides a placement guarantee and ongoing support, managing the entire search process from sourcing to offer negotiation, enabling founders to stay laser-focused on growth.
