What makes Tech Pair special?
Founder-Led with Decades of Experience
You're working directly with Stuart Alexander (circa 30 years) and Michael Phair (circa 18 years) — two seasoned tech recruiters who love the job. No layers. No handoffs. Just deep expertise and personal service from start to finish.

Exclusivity is the goal
We want to work exclusively on every role we take on. It leads to a better experience for candidates, protects your brand, and means we’re fully invested in getting it right.
At launch, we may occasionally support roles that aren’t exclusive — but only where we know we can add real value. The long-term vision? 100% exclusive, high-trust partnerships that deliver better outcomes for everyone involved.
Real Expertise,
Not AI
This is recruitment done the right way: thoughtful, people-first, and powered by actual conversations. We don’t rely on bots, filters, or automation. Every candidate is personally vetted by Michael or Stuart.
Video as a Differentiator, Not a Requirement
If you were job hunting, wouldn’t you want to hear from your future boss before applying? We thought so.
We use video to cut through the grey areas of hiring — giving candidates a real feel for the role, and giving you structured, human-led insight to make decisions faster and better.
Trusted by Startups to Enterprises
From scaling startups to global tech giants, we’ve supported hiring through every growth phase.
We understand how recruitment impacts culture, delivery, and team morale — and we treat that responsibility seriously.

A Boutique, High-Touch Experience
We’re proudly independent — meaning we can be agile, honest, and creative without red tape. We’re not chasing KPIs or trying to hit quotas. We’re here to do the job right, with care and consistency.
From Scotland, Working UK-Wide
We’re fully remote and proudly Scottish — but our reach is national. We combine deep local knowledge with wide networks across the UK

Sustainability
-Driven
Our aim is to be part of Net Zero Scotland in 2026 and actively work to reduce our environmental impact — from how we work to who we work with. It’s just one more way we’re building a future-focused business.

Podcast coming soon...
Michael & Stuart aim to co-host a podcast diving into the real stories behind tech businesses — talking with founders and leaders about the highs, lows, and lessons of building something meaningful. It will keep us (and you) connected to what’s really happening in the industry.
