WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO

Talent Locker is a UK-based specialist recruitment consultancy that connects organisations with high-quality professionals across technology, transformation, ERP and CRM platforms, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, data science, and defence and security sectors.

Founded in 2015 by Martyn Hurricks and Richard Barker, Talent Locker was built on a clear principle: recruitment works best when people come first.

We focus on understanding the goals, challenges, and long-term ambitions of both clients and candidates, ensuring every placement delivers lasting value - not just a short-term solution.

Today, Talent Locker is a trusted recruitment partner to organisations across the UK and international markets, supporting hiring across technology, change and transformation. We work with a wide range of organisations, from consultancies to global enterprises, helping them secure the specialist talent required to deliver complex programmes.

Our reputation is built on specialist expertise, strong professional networks, and a commitment to high-quality, consultative recruitment. This approach consistently delivers strong outcomes for both clients and candidates.

As we continue to grow, our focus remains the same: to raise the standard in recruitment, drive positive change in the industry, and help organisations and professionals achieve their goals.
