Characters Connection

Characters Connection is a technology recruitment firm based in Cyprus that helps companies scale engineering organisations. It works across cloud, DevOps, data, AI/ML, security and senior engineering roles, and operates a founder-led model: René Kuhl, who has more than 20 years of experience hiring senior technical talent, is directly involved in calibration and search execution rather than handing work to junior staff. The firm's main offering, Connection as a Service, is a flat retainer that can be cancelled monthly and funds a continuous talent pipeline, in place of the 20–30% of a candidate's first-year salary that traditional success-fee agencies charge per placement. The company reports 60–80% cost efficiency against that model. Two further services are offered: Recruiting Advisory, covering recruiting processes and strategy, and Retained Executive Search for C-level, VP and lead positions. Reported outcomes include scaling engineering organisations from roughly 10 to more than 50 developers, nearly 50 hires at one scale-up in about a year, and almost 20 hires at another in four months. The firm cites a 90% invitation acceptance rate and a 60% final placement success rate. Its clients are primarily technology companies, software businesses and scale-ups.
