HighCircl, a specialist in connecting companies with top-tier software engineers, officially entered the UK market in Q1 2025. Rejecting automated hiring tools, the platform uses a people-first model and an exclusive developer network where “only the top 10% of software developers gain admission.”
Launched in 2024 by CEO Marton Biro, the service addresses the urgent need for dependable engineering talent in the UK’s tech sector. With access to senior developers within 72 hours, HighCircl relies on a multi-phase interview process to ensure “only the top 10% of European software developers gain admission.”
“We’ve witnessed firsthand how crucial it is for startups and growing businesses to have a trusted source of engineering talent they can depend on,” said Biro, who previously built and led tech teams that developed and released more than 150 native mobile apps for the US market. “While the industry rushes toward AI solutions, we’ve remained committed to human judgment and personal relationships – because hiring the right people is fundamentally a human decision.”
The timing of HighCircl’s UK expansion reflects growing demand for senior-level software engineering talent across multiple sectors. As a remote-first company, HighCircl eliminates geographical constraints while maintaining rigorous quality standards through its selective admission process.
HighCircl’s approach has already demonstrated success with clients who have praised the service as “human-focused all around in their approach and results.” Drawing from Biro’s experience supporting previous ventures through successful exits, the company understands the long-term value of building reliable engineering partnerships.
“Our goal is to help businesses of all sizes grow with the help of our talent,” Biro explained. “We’re not just filling positions – we’re building lasting relationships between companies and the senior engineers who will drive their success.”
Operating as a remote-first organisation with its business entity based in Hungary and operations in Spain, HighCircl embodies the flexible, distributed work model that has become essential in today’s software development landscape. Each engineer brings a minimum of five years of professional experience and undergoes comprehensive vetting before joining the exclusive network.
The UK’s thriving tech sector, from fintech giants in London to emerging startups across the country, faces ongoing challenges in securing senior software engineering talent. HighCircl’s entry provides an alternative to traditional recruitment agencies and algorithm-driven platforms, focusing instead on quality relationships and proven expertise.
As Biro’s second remote technology business, HighCircl builds on extensive experience in scaling distributed teams and understanding the unique challenges facing modern software organisations.
