Specialist recruitment for the sectors defining what comes next.

Team collaboration

We believe recruitment done right changes careers, builds teams and shapes organisations. That belief is what Salvada Talent was built on.

Hiring decisions carry real weight - for businesses building capability in demanding environments, and for individuals trusting someone with their next move. We take that responsibility seriously.

Our approach is simple: take the time to understand people and businesses properly, move with intent, and focus on long-term outcomes rather than short-term wins. No shortcuts, no volume game - just quality, consistency, and a genuinely human approach to every search.

We work with organisations across the UK and EU in technology, frontier tech, defence and space - sectors where getting the right people in the right roles genuinely matters.

Meet the Founder

Dave Raper, Director & Founder

With over 20 years in technology recruitment, I've had the privilege of partnering with some of the UK's most recognised organisations - from defence primes like Lockheed Martin and MBDA, to innovative scale-ups and household names including Multiverse, Aviva and Betfred. That breadth of experience across sectors and business types is what shapes how I work today.

Across the UK and EU, I partner with organisations and experts within Technology, Data & AI and Engineering who care about quality, clarity, and the human side of hiring.

I believe recruitment should be simple, strategic, and centred around people.

Built on a foundation of great process and strong engagement, my mission at Salvada Talent is to deliver the very best talent and an exceptional recruitment experience every time.
