SF Tech 18 months connections


Since its inception in 2022, SF Technology has been at the forefront of specialist technology recruitment within the West Midlands' thriving tech sector. Originating as a branch of SF Recruitment, the division started with a mere three consultants who were committed to adapting to the evolving needs of technology recruitment.

Just last week, the team participated in the TechWM review, an opportunity to engage with forthcoming plans and to receive news that the tech economy in the West Midlands is anticipated to be worth £100 billion by 2030.

The company is delighted to highlight not only its significant growth over the past 18 months, but also its deepening ties within the technology community. During this period, SF Technology has broadened its team and fostered a community of over 16,400 followers on LinkedIn.


SF Technology’s dedication reaches beyond mere recruitment; taking an active role in moulding the future of digital skills across the UK. Its contributions include participation in the Shadow Government’s Digital Skills Steering Committee and the Digital Skills Round Table discussions alongside the Minister for Digital. As enthusiastic supporters of TechWM, the company continues to champion technological progress in the region.

With a strong sense of pride in both their accomplishments and the relationships they have nurtured, SF Technology looks forward with enthusiasm to supporting more exceptional talent and innovative businesses in the future.

SF Technology extends its gratitude to everyone who has joined them on this journey so far and is eager to see what the next 18 months will bring.
