cloudncore.uk is a technology consultancy and specialist recruitment firm run by engineers. We help businesses design better systems, integrate complex platforms, and hire the talent that makes it stick — all within the Microsoft ecosystem.
"We're not recruiters who learned some tech terms. We're engineers who understand both sides of the table."
cloudncore.uk was founded to solve a frustration that anyone who has ever hired — or been hired — in the Microsoft tech space will recognise: the gap between what a recruiter or consultant thinks you need, and what you actually need.
We close that gap by bringing deep, hands-on Microsoft expertise to every engagement — whether that's designing an Azure architecture, integrating a practice management system, or finding you a senior .NET engineer who truly fits your team.
We work alongside startups and growing businesses to help them navigate the Microsoft technology landscape — from architecture decisions on day one to scaling cloud infrastructure as you grow.
"Not sure where to start? A free 30-minute conversation often changes everything."
Talk to usBecause we come from the Microsoft engineering world ourselves, we evaluate candidates the way a hiring manager would — technically, not just on paper.
From junior .NET developers to senior Azure architects and DevOps leads — our rigorous technical screening ensures every candidate is genuinely expert in the Microsoft stack, not just keyword-matched.
Finding the right CTO, Engineering Director, or technical leader requires a different approach. We combine deep technical insight with leadership assessment to find people who inspire teams and make decisions that hold up.
Azure AI/ML specialists, .NET Core developers, SharePoint architects. Our network spans the full breadth of the Microsoft ecosystem — we find who others can't.
Looking to reduce costs without sacrificing quality? We help you set up a nearshore engineering team in Spain or Portugal — handling legal entities, hiring, and cultural onboarding. Timezone-aligned, English-proficient, and technically strong.
Hiring well is the start. Helping your team perform at their best is the ongoing work. We offer practical coaching for engineering leaders and hands-on support for teams finding their rhythm.
One-on-one sessions for engineering managers and tech leads. Decision-making, delegation, stakeholder communication, and the transition from individual contributor to leader.
An honest look at your engineering practices, communication flows, delivery velocity, and team dynamics — followed by a concrete action plan, not just a report.
Define clear growth tracks for your engineers. Improve how you evaluate talent, integrate new hires, and retain the people who matter most.
We believe pricing should be as straightforward as the rest of our work. Here's how we typically structure things.
You only pay when we place the right person
For permanent placements, our fee is a percentage of the candidate's first-year salary, charged only on successful placement after the probation period. Rates vary by role complexity and seniority — we'll be upfront before we start.
Day rate, retainer, or project-based
Consultancy engagements are scoped to your needs. We offer day rates for ad-hoc work, monthly retainers for ongoing advisory support, and fixed-scope project pricing for defined deliverables. We'll agree the model before anything starts.
Whether you're looking to hire, need a hand with a technology challenge, or just want to explore what's possible — we're happy to have a no-obligation conversation. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help.
