About us 👀

Montreal Associates is a growing Tech recruitment firm with an established track record of servicing the IT needs of our clients from our London ☂ and Barcelona 🌞locations. We pride ourselves on being different to other Tech recruiters. We focus on quality, service and long-term relationships with our clients and candidates as well as providing a warm and friendly environment for our diverse employees to commit their whole authentic selves to the task at hand. 💪

Different, how❔

◽I've worked in seven different recruitment companies on three different continents and I can genuinely say Montreal is different. The first thing that struck me while waiting for my interview, was how real everyone was. 👍 I remember working in a company where being different was a challenge not just for team members but for the managers! 'How will we cope if people don't look like us, sound like us, act like us?' Sat in reception watching people heading into the kitchen to share lunch 🍽 with one another (another difference!) I saw people of different ages, races, nationalities, speaking different languages, each with unique identities and view points. I knew straight away I wasn't sat in a traditional recruitment company...◽ Matt Ashby-Cooper, Head of People & Culture 💬

⁉ Who are we, you might ask ⁉

🌟We’re not like most IT recruitment companies🌟 You won’t be beaten with stats. You won’t be barked at for not hitting your numbers. You won’t see training videos showing excerpts from the Boiler Room. And you won’t be expected to be a cookie cutter version of your manager. Instead at Montreal, you’ll find a group of people with a common goal – to help technological business people change the world through smarter, more human recruitment– each person supported by their manager, their peers and the Business Services functions to be the best they can possibly be, while bringing their whole, authentic self to work. 💯 We’re a different type of recruitment company, so if you think you’re a different type of recruiter, we want to hear from you.
