HighCircl, a high-end talent matching service for senior software engineers, has officially launched in the UK following its Q1 2025 market entry. Rejecting the widespread reliance on AI-based recruitment tools, the firm champions a personal, human-operated approach that gives companies access to a network where “only the top 10% of software developers gain admission.”
Established in 2024 by CEO Marton Biro, HighCircl targets a major hurdle faced by UK businesses: sourcing trustworthy, experienced software professionals amid a crowded and impersonal hiring environment. The platform matches firms with expert engineers in under 72 hours, leveraging a carefully curated, multi-phase interview process to ensure “only the top 10% of European software developers gain admission.”
“We’ve witnessed firsthand how crucial it is for startups and growing businesses to have a trusted source of engineering talent they can depend on,” said Biro, who previously built and led tech teams that developed and released more than 150 native mobile apps for the US market. “While the industry rushes toward AI solutions, we’ve remained committed to human judgment and personal relationships – because hiring the right people is fundamentally a human decision.”
The timing of HighCircl’s UK expansion reflects growing demand for senior-level software engineering talent across multiple sectors. As a remote-first company, HighCircl eliminates geographical constraints while maintaining rigorous quality standards through its selective admission process.
HighCircl’s approach has already demonstrated success with clients who have praised the service as “human-focused all around in their approach and results.” Drawing from Biro’s experience supporting previous ventures through successful exits, the company understands the long-term value of building reliable engineering partnerships.
“Our goal is to help businesses of all sizes grow with the help of our talent,” Biro explained. “We’re not just filling positions – we’re building lasting relationships between companies and the senior engineers who will drive their success.”
Operating as a remote-first organisation with its business entity based in Hungary and operations in Spain, HighCircl embodies the flexible, distributed work model that has become essential in today’s software development landscape. Each engineer brings a minimum of five years of professional experience and undergoes comprehensive vetting before joining the exclusive network.
The UK’s thriving tech sector, from fintech giants in London to emerging startups across the country, faces ongoing challenges in securing senior software engineering talent. HighCircl’s entry provides an alternative to traditional recruitment agencies and algorithm-driven platforms, focusing instead on quality relationships and proven expertise.
As Biro’s second remote technology business, HighCircl builds on extensive experience in scaling distributed teams and understanding the unique challenges facing modern software organisations.
