For Employers
Specialist search.
Honest advice.
The right hire.
Stone Tide provides specialist Digital Health and IT recruitment for organisations that need more than a CV database. We search intelligently, advise honestly and take genuine responsibility for every search we undertake.
Why Stone Tide
What we do that advertising alone cannot
When a role is specialist, commercially important, time-sensitive or proving difficult to fill through normal channels, a job advert is rarely enough. Stone Tide adds value through knowledge, judgement, search capability and established relationships.
Direct headhunting
We approach relevant people directly. We do not rely solely on job boards or CV databases. We map the market and engage people who may not be actively looking.
Market mapping
We understand where relevant talent sits across competitors and adjacent organisations — giving you a clearer picture of the available market before you commit to a search.
Honest market intelligence
We advise on realistic salary ranges, candidate availability and market conditions. If a brief is unrealistic, we will say so — constructively and with evidence.
Professional representation
We take seriously how we represent your business to candidates. Every interaction reflects on your employer brand. We treat that responsibility carefully.
Proper qualification
Candidates are assessed against the actual brief — not just screened for keywords. We reduce wasted interviews and irrelevant CVs.
End-to-end management
From brief to placement, we manage the process, maintain communication and keep things moving. You should not have to chase us for updates.
How we work
Our search process
Fast recruitment should never mean rushed recruitment. We move with purpose — but we do not cut corners.
Brief & Discovery
We take time to understand the role properly — not just the job description, but why the hire matters, what success looks like and the context around it. We ask the questions that help us search intelligently.
Direct Search
We identify and approach relevant people directly. That includes competitor mapping, network engagement and targeted headhunting — not simply waiting for applications or searching the same databases as everyone else.
Qualification
Candidates are assessed against the actual brief before being presented. We would rather send you three people genuinely worth meeting than ten CVs to demonstrate activity.
Process & Placement
We manage the process, maintain momentum, support offer negotiation and follow up after placement. We take responsibility for the outcome, not just the shortlist.
Roles we recruit
Specialist across Digital Health and technology
Digital Health is our deepest area of expertise. We recruit across the full spectrum of roles within the UK healthcare technology market — from implementation and clinical informatics to commercial, product and technical leadership.
We also recruit across wider technology disciplines — software engineering, data, cybersecurity and IT leadership — where our market knowledge and direct search capability add genuine value.
