NTP Talent

NTP Talent stands out because they do recruitment in a way that feels genuinely people-first.

When I first connected with the team, I did not have a perfectly defined next role in mind. I just knew I was ready for a change and wanted to find an opportunity where I could grow. Rather than trying to force me into something generic or only point me at publicly advertised roles, the NTP team took the time to understand what I was looking for, what I was good at, and where I had potential. They then reached into their network and found an opportunity at nib group that turned out to be an incredible fit.

On paper, I probably was not the most obvious standout candidate. But NTP saw beyond the CV. They recognised my determination, agency, willingness to learn, and potential cultural fit for the team. Once I started at nib, it became clear why they had put me forward. I was able to add value quickly, I fit well with the team and company culture, and I received strong feedback early on for being such a good match.

That role turned into a five-year stint full of growth and opportunity. Over that time I moved from a mid-level Cloud Operations Engineer into a Senior Machine Learning Engineer role, helping lay the foundations for a lot of the machine learning capability at nib. That experience also helped set me up for where I am now, working as an AI Engineering Technical Lead at Canva.

What makes NTP different from a lot of cookie-cutter recruitment agencies is that they genuinely understand both the people and the companies they work with. They are deeply embedded in the software and technology community, they support and host events, they connect people, and they clearly care about creating the right long-term fit rather than just filling a role.

I have stayed in touch with the NTP team over the years because they are genuinely connected, helpful, and valuable to have in your corner. If I were hiring today, I would absolutely use NTP Talent. In a market where the right hire matters more than ever, their people-first approach and deep industry understanding are incredibly valuable.

I could not recommend them highly enough.
