We engage deeply with our network, creating opportunities for collaboration, learning, and mutual growth. From hosting recognised industry meetups to designing initiatives that empower employees to give back in meaningful ways, we ensure that every engagement adds value. Our clients benefit from a living, breathing network of technologists and thought leaders who care about the missions they support - especially within Defence, Critical National Infrastructure, and National Security.SearchOur search capability goes far beyond standard recruitment. We invest time into understanding your environment, your mission, and your culture - especially when the roles involve complex security requirements. Ncounter has built a reputation for delivering exceptional candidates across the full talent spectrum, from graduates to C-level executives, with a strong track record in sourcing SC, DV, and eDV-cleared professionals. Whether you're scaling a development team or building leadership capability in a classified environment, we&rsquo;re trusted to deliver the right talent, discreetly and efficiently.BespokeNcounter operates a recruitment model that is intentionally different - flexible, adaptive, and entirely bespoke. We tailor our approach based on the needs of the role, the sensitivity of the programme, and the operational environment. From managing security-cleared hiring pipelines and technical assessments to overseeing pre-screening, visa processes, and more, our services are built to reduce risk and maximise speed-to-hire. Our expertise in navigating the complexities of government clearance and secure project environments makes us an invaluable partner to National Security and Defence programmes.Permanent RecruitmentWe specialise in long-term hiring strategies that build capability for the future. With decades of experience placing highly-skilled technologists into permanent roles, Ncounter has the insight and credibility to engage passive candidates at the right time with the right message. Our deep sector knowledge and relationships across the UK&rsquo;s secure tech landscape allow us to make impactful introductions - particularly in environments where trust, discretion, and cultural alignment are critical. Whether growing agile teams or securing niche talent for secure government missions, we focus on outcomes that last.Contract RecruitmentWhen projects demand rapid delivery and niche skill sets, Ncounter is ready. We deliver experienced contractors who are not only technically excellent, but also hold the clearances and credibility required to operate in sensitive environments. We support both Umbrella and PSC engagement models and pride ourselves on our speed, compliance, and commitment to quality. From surge support to project augmentation in Defence and CNI programmes, we help you meet deadlines without compromising on integrity or standards.ConsultancySome challenges require more than recruitment - they need a partner who can co-create the solution. Ncounter offers consultancy-led talent services designed to solve real-world business and programme issues. Whether it&rsquo;s advising on secure workforce planning, improving your talent pipeline for high-clearance roles, or optimising hiring processes, we bring a delivery mindset rooted in sector experience. We&rsquo;re used to operating in constrained and classified environments - helping Defence and National Security clients achieve clarity, compliance, and control.Embedded Talent SolutionsOur Embedded Talent Solutions seamlessly integrate with your organisation, acting as an extension of your internal talent team. Whether for a major digital transformation or a multi-year National Security programme, we bring recruitment expertise right to the heart of your operation. We deliver structured, bias-aware interview processes, improve hiring accuracy, and boost candidate engagement - all while building capability within your team. We adapt to your culture and help strengthen it, delivering data-driven insights that improve recruitment outcomes over time. With a continuous improvement ethos and a proven model, Ncounter is your trusted partner in complex, security-cleared hiring environments.</div></div></div></div></div>
