Faiz Farooq

Senior Recruitment Consultant

Hi I'm Faiz, and I'm a Senior Recruitment Consultant as part of the technology specialisms team at Harvey Nash. 

I’m an experienced technical recruiter with over 5 years experience in identifying, engaging, and placing exceptional tech talent across multiple domains. I specialise in sourcing top talent across the digital and technology sector, with experience spanning startups, scaleups, and enterprise environments.

Example roles I recruit for:

  • Developers (Javascript, Java, Python, .net)
  • DevOps & Cloud Engineers (AWS, GCP, Azure)
  • Data Engineers / Analysts / Scientists
  • Platform & Infrastructure Engineers
  • Business Analysts

Outside of work, I enjoy travelling, racing, and spending time with family and friends.

The best piece of advice I’ve ever been given is 'time is the only real currency, spend it wisely.'
