Kyle Gauntlett
Executive Recruitment Consultant
I specialise in talent solutions for defence engineering start-ups and scale-ups, partnering with founders and technical leaders to build next-generation unmanned and advanced defence systems. I connect clients with the hard-to-find hardware and engineering specialists who determine whether products move from prototype to deployment.
My focus is on niche, high-impact engineering talent across electronics, RF/communications, power, navigation, and systems hardware – the roles that are hardest to hire and most critical to platform performance.
Previously, I spent 3+ years delivering DevOps and Cloud SME talent across the UK and Europe, supporting start-ups, scale-ups, and FTSE 100 organisations. This experience gives me a deep understanding of high-growth environments, technical evaluation, and the pace required to scale advanced engineering teams.
Clients work with me for targeted access to scarce technical talent and insight into competitive markets. Candidates work with me for guidance on cutting-edge defence opportunities and long-term career alignment.
