Permanent recruitment
Direct placement for long-term engineering roles, matched on technical depth and the way your team actually works - not on keywords.
When you’d reach for this
A permanent hire is expensive to get wrong. The cost is rarely the salary - it is the months a seat sits empty and the recovery time when the wrong person fills it. We run the full process so you start from a smaller, better shortlist.
A core role to fill
A long-term position where fit and retention matter more than filling the seat fast.
Senior or scarce skills
A hire your own network can’t easily reach, where a generalist recruiter just sends noise.
Protecting senior time
You can’t spare your engineers to sift a CV pile, but they still need to trust the shortlist.
What you get
Sourcing and screening
We run the full process - sourcing, screening and coordination - end to end.
Builders judging builders
Candidates are assessed by people who have shipped production software for 25 years.
Matched on the real work
We match on technical depth and how your team operates, not job-spec keywords.
Fit over filled seats
We stay close after placement, because retention is what keeps you coming back.
We’ve been on your side of the table.
Pype was born inside Realm Digital, a 25-year-old engineering consultancy. We’ve owned the deadlines and hired the engineers ourselves - so we know what good looks like, and we vet for it.
That’s the difference between a CV-matching service and a technical partner.
Common questions
How long does a permanent search take? +
It depends on the role’s seniority and how scarce the skills are, but starting from a vetted bench means you usually meet a curated shortlist within days, not weeks.
What if the hire doesn’t work out? +
We agree the replacement terms with you up front, so a placement that doesn’t stick is covered rather than a surprise. Fit and retention matter to us - a hire that fails is a cost to both sides.
Do you recruit outside engineering? +
Our focus is software and digital roles - engineering, QA, data, product and design. If your need sits just outside that, ask and we will be straight about whether we are the right fit.
