About us
SPECIALISTS IN THE INDUSTRIES SHAPING THE FUTURE
Client support
WE DON’T JUST INTRODUCE TALENT.WE ADD MARKET INTELLIGENCE
Connecting the right people with the right organisations is the baseline.
What sets us apart is the expertise behind every introduction. We understand the industries we operate in – the technologies shaping them, the pressures influencing them, and the talent dynamics that drive performance.
Our clients don’t need CVs. They need insight, access to hard-to-reach expertise, and informed judgment.
That’s why we work as market specialists, not transactional brokers – helping build teams that move businesses forward.
Our background
FOUNDED ON EXPERTISE BUILT TO RAISE THE STANDARD
In the late 1990s, our founder Mark Husey saw a shift in IT recruitment. As consolidation reshaped the industry, depth of expertise was being replaced by volume. Specialist markets were becoming transactional.
When the corporate acquisition of the firm he worked for confirmed that direction of travel, he made a decision: to build something different.
From day one, Sentinel was designed around market knowledge. Consultants were expected to understand the technologies they recruited for, the industries they operated in, and the commercial realities their clients faced.
We were not built to be CV brokers.
We were built to be specialists.
That philosophy still defines us today. Over twenty-five years on, our focus remains the same: informed, sector-led recruitment delivered by people who know their markets inside out.
Our specialisms
DEEP EXPERTISE ACROSS THE INDUSTRIES SHAPING THE FUTURE
We focus on the sectors where technology, regulation, capital and innovation intersect: commodities, consulting, energy, financial services, life sciences and technology.
Within these markets, we recruit across the full spectrum of technology and transformation – from engineering and architecture to cyber, data, delivery, and leadership.
Our consultants are aligned to industries, not generic job titles. That means they understand the context behind each hire: the regulatory landscape, the commercial drivers, the competitive pressures, and the technical nuance.
With offices in the UK, Ireland, Switzerland, Czechia and the USA – and talent networks that span globally – we deliver specialist expertise wherever it’s needed.
Clients, are you looking to recruit?
If you are looking for a temporary hire with a niche skillset or need to build your permanent team with the right people, we’ll make it easy. Simply get in touch or drop off your vacancy details and we can help.

WE ALWAYS REMAIN TRUE TO OUR VALUES. AFTER ALL, THEY’RE WHAT MADE US WHO WE ARE
curious
Stay curious
Whether that’s taking time to understand what makes someone tick, probing clients to discover how they view success or simply keeping up with what’s happening in the technology industry. Staying curious gives us our edge.
Empathy
Have empathy
It’s not enough to listen. You have to be able to hear. We genuinely care about everyone we work with. It’s the only way we can deliver on our promise, to truly meet the needs of our partners, be they, candidates or clients.
Integrity
Act with integrity
Our word matters. When we say we’ll do something, we do it. We’re nothing unless we remain honest, responsible & accountable at all times.

THE FUTURE OF RECRUITMENT BELONGS TO COMMERCIAL THINKERS
Technology is changing our industry. Much of the transactional work that once defined recruitment – sourcing, outreach, screening – is rapidly being automated.
What won’t be automated is influence.
The ability to win trust.
To position an opportunity.
To negotiate complex offers.
To advise clients with conviction.
To read a room.
That’s where the future lies – and that’s what we train for.
We look for bright, ambitious graduates and early-career professionals who want to build serious commercial skills in high-growth sectors. People who are curious, articulate, resilient and motivated by performance.
If you want to learn how markets really work – and how to operate at the centre of them – we should talk.
