Meet Chris Gray

Chris has spent a decade recruiting in pockets of the technology sector where specialist talent is scarce: data science and AI, financial markets technology and start-ups. He is inquisitive and invests the time to understand the dynamics of these markets. He gets strong buy-in with specialists in these niches because his advice is rooted in what’s best for their careers.

GuidedTalent was built on the ambition to provide solutions tailored to an organisation’s evolving employment needs. Rather than standard agreements built around a middle-ground fee percentage, Chris designs engagement models in consultation with his clients that serve both parties, in the short and long term.

His approach to finding talent is to get to know an organisation inside out: how its people work, its culture, its pace and its purpose. The result is placements who are a true fit and keep growing with the organisation beyond their initial scope. Chris takes the most pride in seeing his placements earn multiple promotions and evolve from specialists into key pillars of the business.
