About
Damia Group
In today’s fast-paced and globally connected world, finding the right talent efficiently and cost-effectively is vital to accelerating business growth and ensuring long-term business success. We help our partners overcome this challenge by connecting them with the very best tech talent (from early careers through to C-suite) who they can engage on either a temporary, contract or permanent basis.
Who
we partner with
Our current customer base is diverse, ranging from owner-led technology start-ups looking to make their first hire, through to large international companies who require our support in helping them assemble large technology project teams.
Why
us?
We listen. We take the time to hear you to find out what you need, so we can identify who the best person is to help you fly. And when we give you our advice, we’re open and candid.
As a people-focused business, we love nothing more than sitting down with our partners and hearing all about their biggest hiring challenges. There hasn’t been one yet we haven’t successfully solved!
How
we work
Our team of talent sourcing specialists can work alongside your in-house talent acquisition team, providing them with the additional skills and capacity they need for as long as they need it to achieve their hiring targets.
Alternatively, we become your in-house talent acquisition team, assuming responsibility for managing all aspects of your end-to-end recruitment process. The latter is a popular choice for technology start-ups who are looking to hire, but don’t want to use recruitment agencies or hire their own internal talent acquisition team.

Our Story
Damia Group began in 1995 when Chris Bardoe, who had been a senior manager in a global recruitment firm, established the company with 2 fellow directors. A number of clients pledged their support to the new company, including Microsoft, RSA and Logica. With ambitious plans for growth, Damia Group needed a venture capitalist (VC), which became James Caan – who later achieved fame from TV’s Dragons’ Den!
In 2007, Damia Group became VC free and completely responsible for their own destiny.
From the very beginning, the goal was to make people the beating heart of Damia Group, build long-lasting, trusting relationships, and create a business enjoyable to work in and with. This was a unique approach in the technology resourcing landscape — which was becoming increasingly disconnected and impersonal.
Everyone in the business stuck to this core principle, however, and the ever-growing Damia Group soon earned a reputation for its personalised approach and the effective partnerships it built with both partners and talented professionals.
A changing world
As the IT recruitment and technology recruitment landscape evolved, so did Damia Group, by introducing new solutions, such as
staff augmentation and
managed services, to meet the needs of a dynamic market. New requirements, such as cybersecurity recruitment, began to emerge, and
talented tech candidates were now finding their next big career move through Damia Group. With a growing reputation for finding the best talent to fill security cleared (SC) jobs, Damia Group was finding its clear niche in the market.
Our greatest step
What never changed was Damia Group’s commitment to providing excellence in services and humanness in the way it did business. Being true to those values, Damia Group became 100% employee owned in 2020, with its employees now all having an equal say in how the business is run.
Where we are today
The Damia Group of today is a trusted partner to some of the most reputable and cutting-edge organisations in technology. With a single clear vision of putting people at the heart of everything, Damia Group established a new benchmark in staff augmentation, managed services and permanent workforce solutions. This commitment continues to set us apart, positioning Damia Group as the gold standard for technology transformation services.
The Damia Difference
What makes us so different? Our 6 guiding principles:
Sharing our expertise

Being human
Honestly, we can’t bear BS or corporate claptrap. We’re here to connect brilliant professionals with awesome companies. We love seeing people succeed and enjoy the process of unlocking future achievements.
Taking time to listen
We take the time to hear you to find out what you need, so we can identify the person or team to help you fly.
Nurturing relationships
The success of our business is based on the quality of our working relationships. Over 30 years, we’ve lived through a dot-com bubble burst, two global recessions, 3 UK recessions and a worldwide pandemic. We’re still here and still growing because of our resilience and determination to see our business – and those of our partners – succeed.
Feeling proud
People come first. Successful businesses and careers are based on good service, good delivery and good folk. It’s the perfect trio — our daily dose of inspiration. We’re proud of our people, our success, and the positive impact of our work on people’s lives.

ESG at
Damia Group
Environmental, social and governance: ESG — 3 little letters which say a lot.
At Damia Group, we believe that success is more than just driving business growth; it’s about making a meaningful impact on the environment, society, and governance practices. These 3 pillars are central to how we operate and reflect our commitment to being a responsible, forward-thinking organisation.
Give us an ‘E’: Environmental
We’re dedicated to minimising our environmental impact, not just within our operations but also in the way we help our clients build sustainable teams. From adopting paperless processes to reducing travel through technology, we continually strive to lower our carbon footprint.
By aligning ourselves with organisations that prioritise green innovation, we support a future where technology and sustainability go hand in hand.
So Social
People are at the heart of everything we do. Whether it’s ensuring inclusive hiring practices, supporting employee wellbeing, or giving back to our communities, we take our social responsibility seriously.
As a 100% employee owned business, we empower our team to create a workplace culture rooted in fairness, collaboration, and mutual respect. Beyond our internal efforts, we help our clients build diverse and inclusive teams that drive innovation and success.
Great Governance
Strong governance is foundational to our success and integrity. As an employee owned trust, transparency and accountability are embedded in everything we do.
Our flat hierarchy and shared ownership model ensure that every decision is made with the long-term interests of our people, clients, and stakeholders in mind. By maintaining rigorous ethical standards and promoting fairness, we continue to build trust with all those we serve.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
(EDI)
At Damia Group, we believe that diversity drives innovation, inclusion fosters collaboration, and equality ensures opportunity for all. We’re committed to creating an operation and workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered.
Through inclusive hiring practices and proactive support for under-represented groups, we work tirelessly to champion EDI within our organisation and across the technology teams we help build for our clients. Our mission is simple: to ensure that talent shines, free from barriers, and that everyone has an equal chance to succeed.
