Emerald places specialist technology professionals from Latin America into UK and US companies. Every placement assessed, guaranteed, and supported from day one.
The first technology talent partner to deliver ongoing post-placement support and talent development — funded from its own margin.
"Emerald's structured approach to assessment and post-placement support makes a real difference. Several of the technology professionals placed with us have been with MVW for over two years."
Emerald is built around the challenges that make technology hiring expensive, slow, and uncertain. If any of these sound familiar, you are in the right place.
By the time a traditional agency delivers a CV stack, your best candidate has accepted another offer. Each candidate from Emerald's pre-assessed talent pool arrives with a Candidate Assessment Profile, built from a recorded 30-minute structured Emerald Assure interview, that replaces or significantly reduces your team's own technical screening stage — your team validates, it does not evaluate.
How Emerald accelerates hiringA CV tells you what someone has done. Emerald Assure tells you whether they will deliver consistently for you. The same eight-dimension scorecard — built by an experienced technology delivery professional who talks the same language as you. A 30-day integration check-in and quarterly reviews follow throughout the engagement.
How Emerald Assure worksMicrosoft 365 Cloud, Azure Cloud, Data Engineering, AI and automation, cybersecurity — the roles your teams need are genuinely hard to fill through standard agency channels. Emerald sources from a deep LATAM network with direct access to passive candidates not visible on job boards.
How Emerald sourcesA failed senior placement can cost tens of thousands of dollars in re-recruitment, management time, and delivery delay. Emerald Sky is a 12-Month Consultant Success Programme — funded from our margin, not yours — that keeps consultants engaged and developing.
How Emerald Sky works
Every placement includes 12 months of Emerald Sky — weekly open sessions and L&D funded by Emerald. Emerald Red community membership continues indefinitely for all placed consultants at no charge. Built around one belief: consultants who grow, stay.

Technology placement fees at Emerald are published transparently. Every engagement includes the full Emerald Assure evaluation, the Delivery Confidence Guarantee, and 12 months of Emerald Sky — as standard, not as extras.
Background checks invoiced separately at cost.
"I previously thought a career in technology meant being fully technical — basically, being a programmer. I didn't realise there were other paths in tech, like business analysis or project management, where communication, organisation, and problem-solving are just as important. My conversations with Dave helped me understand what the technology world was actually like, and made me feel excited about the possibilities."
"From the very first conversation with Dave, I felt the focus wasn't just on finding someone to fill a role, but on understanding whether it would be the right fit for everyone involved. For the first time in a recruitment process, I felt I was being evaluated as a whole person, not just my CV or technical skills. Even after joining, that support didn't disappear — Emerald is focused on building relationships, not just making placements."
"Joining a new role can be both exciting and scary, and I'm grateful to have had someone that genuinely cared about my success. The support, encouragement, and commitment to my growth helped me navigate new challenges with confidence and continue developing professionally. Looking back, I'm deeply appreciative of the opportunities, guidance, and trust they placed in me."
