The Original Data Recruitment Agency

Specialist Data and AI recruitment since 2003. KDR Talent Solutions is a specialist data and AI recruitment agency with deep roots in the data community. Since 2003, we have supported businesses hiring specialist talent and candidates building careers across data, analytics, AI and machine learning.

Today, we recruit across data management, data governance, data quality, master data management, data strategy, data engineering, data architecture, analytics, data science, AI, machine learning and related specialisms.

We are proud to work with the people and organisations shaping how data and AI are used to solve problems, improve decisions and create better outcomes.

Our Values

By living our values, we ensure our unique culture is nourished for future growth. Our values feed into our DNA: "the difference is we care", and this is reflected in the number of referrals we get from candidates who then become our clients as well as the number of clients who retain our solutions.

WE ACT WITH INTEGRITY

We build relationships and are consultative in our approach and that flows across all the clients and candidates we work with. Internally we work with honesty and follow strong moral principles.

WE LISTEN

We actively listen to the people we work with, whether that be clients, candidates, or our internal team so that we can find people the best solutions to whatever it is they are working towards.

WE DELIVER ON OUR PROMISES

If we say we are consultative and that we listen that also means delivering on our promises, so if we have promised a call back or a client a CV, we deliver on those promises.

It also means we don’t over promise, so understanding when we can’t help someone, because it is outside our area of expertise, is also important to us.

WE WORK AS A TEAM

Internally we run a very collaborative environment. We stand by each other through difficult times. We also act as a team for our candidates, helping them to get a role, and our clients, helping internal recruitment teams or hiring managers find the best people for their business.
