WHO WE ARE

Who we are.

Founded in 2018, Digital Waffle is a leading tech & digital recruitment agency. We are dedicated to finding and matching the best digital talent with growing businesses across the UK and Europe.

 

Digital Waffle was formed on the idea that traditional recruitment agencies were broken and required a radical change that put quality first.

 

By removing all daily KPIs, and the noise around them, we have allowed each of our consultants to focus on the quality of the service provided to both client and candidate as opposed to diluting the efforts in an attempt to hit arbitrary numbers.
