Tech hires that don’t just code.
We help businesses hire the skills tech teams need to deliver commercial outcomes in the age of AI.
Built on five years building product, engineering, data and tech consulting teams at Bain & Company.
AI has 10x’d technical output. But output alone doesn’t drive business value.
The gap between what gets built and what creates value is wider than ever.
Today’s best technologists:
> Think commercially about what to build and why
> Navigate ambiguity across functions & stakeholders
> Influence product, data and commercial strategy
Strategy, not execution - is the new bottleneck.
Most hiring teams haven’t solved for this yet and it’s leading to bad business outcomes by creating leverage in the wrong direction.
How we help
We help CxOs solve for AI’s Impact on Tech Hiring by building teams with judgement, communication, commercial and strategic skills.
Assessment
We assess whether your current hiring approach is fit for purpose.
Identify roles that are redundant, mis-scoped, or disconnected from business priorities
Highlight inefficiencies in hiring plans, decision-making, and role design
Provide a short, actionable roadmap to refocus hiring around value creation
Result: Improved hiring plan accuracy, reduced mis-hires, and better prioritisation of headcount
Hiring & Executive Search
We lead or support senior hiring when the stakes are high.
Define success criteria based on outcomes, not job titles
Prioritise candidates with context fit, judgement, and adaptability
Align internal decision-makers before the process begins
Result: Faster time-to-hire, increased confidence in final decisions, and stronger long-term performance from hires
Training
We improve how your team hires — and how productive they are.
Build reusable scorecards and structured interview plans
Train hiring managers and recruiters to assess what matters
Introduce AI tools to streamline repetitive TA tasks
Result: Increased recruiter productivity, improved hiring consistency, and stronger internal decision-making

Our team
We’re Jack & Ollie.
We met 8 years ago working in Talent for a VC firm in London.
Since then:
Jack built a 7-figure Executive Search Firm specialising in commercial leadership talent in the US
Ollie led product, engineering and tech consulting talent strategy for Bain & Company across the US and Europe
Now with Codebridge, we help business leaders navigate the shift in what ‘great’ looks like in tech—hiring for strategic thinking, commercial outcomes, and adaptability in the age of AI.
Our mission is simple: build sharper teams that create more value with fewer people.
