Connecting today’s talent with tomorrow’s tech.
Agile, no-nonsense recruitment people - partnering with you to build future-ready teams and deliver better matches, faster.
At The Future Project, we partner with businesses who want to build something lasting, not just fill a vacancy.
Partnership, not placement
We’re not your usual recruitment agency
We specialise in finding people who genuinely fit your organisation - not just on paper, but in character, values, and long-term potential.
We take the time to understand what makes your business unique - your culture, goals, and the future you’re building - offering honest guidance and a genuinely collaborative approach.
Instead of placing the emphasis on you to choose your favourites from a long list, we review candidates together and only put forward people we genuinely stand behind.
Thoughtful, inclusive hiring – done in partnership.
Working with you, not just for you, to find people we both believe in.
Where we operate
We connect with growing businesses across the US and the UK, helping them build diverse, high-performing tech teams.
We embed ourselves as a true extension of your team.
That means honest conversations, close collaboration, and a recruitment process that feels supportive, transparent, and genuinely aligned to your needs.

About The Future Project
We’d seen it too many times - recruitment too focused on hitting targets and short-term wins instead of truly supporting clients’ long-term plans. Values, diversity and individual skills were often overlooked, leaving hiring managers frustrated and candidates mismatched.
Sam founded The Future Project to create a more thoughtful way of hiring - one that’s ethical, collaborative, and genuinely human. We know the people we work with want to partner with an agency they can be proud of, one that represents them honestly and confidently in the market.
We care about your business, your people, and building a better recruitment industry.
