"Haystack is a game changer. It provides instant access to high quality, targeted and engaged candidates. We made two successful hires the first time we used Haystack."

Dan Blackman

Chief Operating Officer

"All of a sudden we've gone from not having access to a talent pool, to actually having a vast number of tech candidates at the ready for us to approach, talk to and engage with. It’s been a golden solution to something that was really a problem for us."

Martin Wilkinson

Talent Acquisition Partner

“Haystack enabled us to discover hard-to-reach tech talent that weren’t on other platforms or the books of recruiters. We were able to control how our brand was positioned with the tech community and get our roles directly in front of highly relevant candidates.”

Phil Scott

Director of Software Delivery

"I love that this product has been a market disruptor. Utilising Haystack as a recruitment marketing tool has allowed us to get our vacancies in front of more tech candidates and ultimately make more hires."

Lauren Kernick

Talent Acquisition Lead

"I'm a big fan of Haystack. I like that engineers have control on the platform, so they're more likely to engage if they know they aren't going to get bombarded by recruiters which I think is key. Haystack is by far the most cost-effective tool we've used and has given us a very healthy ROI."
