Biography
Started as a small family business 16 years ago by Nigel and Neil Livingston, Optimus Search has grown to become at the forefront of German STEM recruitment: We are proud to be a household name in the thriving technology talent market.
Over time, we have refined our processes and developed our exceptional people to become premium service providers to some of the biggest and most successful companies in Germany, facilitating high-growth sprints and bespoke, high-level individual hires.
Although not under the same surname, our growth has continued under family values. We are proud that the whole company, including our management team has been grown organically from people hired at junior level. Its an overused phrase in the corporate world, but we really do see Optimus as one big family.
We now enter our next growth phase: ‘Optimus 3.0’. Our early journey from 2 people in suburban Southwest London was Optimus 1.0, and the 8 year, high-growth period since we relocated to Central London, Optimus 2.0, has seen us listed in the Sunday Times Fast Track 100, and also the Recruiter Hot 100 three years running.
This new phase will blow the ceiling off our ambitions and fast-track a rapid, and sustainable, unleashing of our potential, drive and ability. We want you to be a part of this journey, to be part of one of Europe’s most successful recruitment companies.
