Bio
Dan Sarracayo
Sy is a world class recruiter. He took the time to understand my skillset and wants in detail and looked far beyond the all too familiar buzzword soup. He made sure my profile fit an opportunity well before putting me forward and provided all the guidence I needed throughout the process. I highly recommend working with Sy if you've found yourself asking "what next?" or "am I ready for change?" - he handled my tentativeness with professionalism and helped me open a new chapter in my career! Thanks again for everything, Sy!

Simon is one of the best recruiters I've had the pleasure of interacting with. He communicates well throughout the whole process, clearly has good industry ties and really felt like he was trying to fill roles rather than sit me in interviews.

Innovate Suffolk is a place to turn ideas into businesses, faster than you’ve ever dreamed!Innovate Suffolk aims to bring together technology and startup talent across the county in an open inclusive way. Through events and networking we’re looking to connect people, communities and resources to solve real-world problems, build long-term, viable collaborations and nurture scalable businesses across the county.Our first event was a 48 hour startup hackathon focused on mental health. Bringing together diverse skills and experiences, we helped create and develop real-world solutions to make a difference. Everyone was welcome – we had developers, creatives, business people and enthusiastic people with knowledge of mental health issues. Some came with ideas, some thought up ideas on the night, and four teams made it to final judging.Watch this space for details of our next event
