AI-assisted tech talent platform matching vetted engineers with employers
Haystack is a Newcastle-based tech recruitment platform pairing AI matching with expert vetting of software, data, cloud and DevOps candidates. Its job-post footprint spans an unusually wide stack (C++/Qt desktop, .NET, Java/Spring, Go, Terraform/Vault/Consul) and themes like hospital information systems, consistent with roles sourced for client employers rather than one internal product. Hiring is accelerating, engineering-dominated and spread across seven countries.
Haystack operates a talent marketplace that connects technology professionals with employers ranging from startups and scale-ups to large enterprises. Candidates are screened through a combination of AI tooling and human vetting across disciplines such as software engineering, data, design, DevOps, cloud, testing, product and architecture. The company was founded in 2021, is privately held, and is headquartered in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. It employs 51–200 people and currently recruits across the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, India, Estonia, Canada and Peru.
