  Crew is a Talent Consultancy for Technology Companies. People can be complicated, hiring doesn’t have to be. We have a range of services to suit any stage of your business’s evolution, because humans aren’t a one-size-fits-all kind of deal (if they were there’d be no need for adjustable baseball caps). There are 42 muscles in the human face. You can’t read human chemistry on the pages of a CV print-out. At Crew, we work in-house as much as possible so we can read between the lines (and the dimples), to get a better understanding of who you are and who you need. Call in the Crew (not the resume sifters) No one ever understood a workplace culture by staring at the glow of a LinkedIn page. At Crew, we show up, soak it up, and get down to business. Show less
