What We're Looking For

We're interested in people who are ambitious, competitive, commercially minded and genuinely curious.

For junior hires, you may have recently finished sixth form or university and be looking for a career where your progression and earnings are closely connected to your performance.

An interest in technology, current affairs, business or sport is a strong cultural fit. You don't need to arrive knowing quantum mechanics, but you do need to be someone who wants to understand what is happening in the world and can become obsessed with learning a market.

We're particularly interested in people who are:

• Tenacious – recruitment involves rejection; you keep going.
• Competitive – you want to perform and improve.
• Money motivated – you want your earnings to increase significantly as you become successful.
• Curious – you're interested in technology, businesses and people.
• Confident communicators – you're comfortable picking up the phone and building relationships.
• Commercially minded – you can understand what motivates both candidates and clients.
• Self-driven – you don't need someone constantly telling you what to do next.
• Ambitious – you want to build something rather than simply have a job.

For the Senior Consultant level, we're additionally looking for a proven track record in recruitment, headhunting or business development. Previous quantum experience isn't essential.

Why Scope?

• Work in a genuinely specialist market.
• Rather than recruiting generic roles across hundreds of companies, you'll develop expertise in one of the most technically advanced talent markets in the world.
• Established client base.
• Scope already has partnerships with 35+ companies across quantum technology, including publicly traded businesses and some of the industry's most exciting private companies.
• Global exposure.
• Our searches regularly take us across Europe, the US and Asia, giving you access to an international candidate and client network.
• Access to senior decision-makers.
• You'll build relationships directly with founders, CTOs, VPs and other leaders shaping their companies' technical roadmaps.
• High-value recruitment.
• Quantum talent is scarce. Many of the searches we work on involve highly specialised PhD-level scientists, senior engineers and technical leaders, making quality and market knowledge far more important than CV volume.
• Strong earning potential.
• You'll have the opportunity to build a high-value recruitment desk where your financial progression is directly linked to your performance.
• Career progression.
• As you develop, you'll have the opportunity to own a market, grow key accounts and ultimately help build and lead teams within Scope.

Who This Could Suit

• Junior: Someone leaving sixth form or university who is competitive, articulate, hungry to earn and wants to get into technology without becoming an engineer themselves.
• Experienced: A recruiter who has already demonstrated they can build candidate and client relationships and now wants to specialise in a high-growth, technically complex market with significant international potential.

You do not need an existing background in quantum technology.

You do need the drive to learn it.

If you want to build a recruitment career while working with companies and people developing technologies that could fundamentally change computing and science, we'd like to hear from you.
