I’ve had the pleasure of working with Bruce for several years. He consistently demonstrates a deep understanding of the IT and technology landscape, from Software Development and DevOps to Project and People Management. He doesn’t just match skills to roles; he matches people to teams and culture. Every placement we’ve made through Bruce has been a strong long-term fit. He brings integrity, insight, and outstanding results every time. Working with Bruce is like having a recruitment partner who’s genuinely invested in your success.
About us
Arch Talent began with a simple belief — that recruitment, done right, is about people, not transactions.
Arch Talent was founded by Bruce Hopkin with a clear vision: to build something personal, lasting, and grounded in genuine connection.
Bruce wanted to create a recruitment partner that reflects the strength, stability, and unity symbolised by an arch — a structure built to endure.
The name Arch also carries a deeper, more personal meaning. Inspired by Bruce’s sons, Arlo and Chester, it represents family, trust, and the bridges we build between businesses and the leaders who drive transformation.
It’s a reminder that at the heart of every great hire is human connection.
From day one, Arch Talent has focused on quality over quantity. We don’t work with everyone — and that’s intentional. Our success comes from partnering with organisations that share our values and long-term mindset.
This partnership-led approach means we listen first, challenge assumptions, and collaborate closely at every stage. Whether helping to define a role, map the market, or shape a long-term hiring strategy, we ensure every placement delivers meaningful, lasting impact.
At Arch Talent, recruitment is more than filling positions — it’s about helping businesses evolve. By connecting ambition with expertise, and people with purpose, we build the foundations for transformation and lasting success.
Human Intelligence
Our take
We believe technology is only half the story. Real transformation, whether in IT leadership, digital strategy, or business systems, happens when Human Intelligence is applied.
What we mean by Human Intelligence:
It’s the unique mix of judgment, creativity, and leadership that experienced people bring to the table. It’s the ability to weigh options, make tough calls, inspire teams, and adapt when projects shift, things no algorithm or automation can replicate.
Why it matters for our clients:
Many agencies match CVs to job specs — we go further. We find leaders whose Human Intelligence turns technology into real business impact, whether driving transformation, strengthening IT leadership, or future-proofing systems and teams.
Our difference:
By focusing on Human Intelligence, we help our clients secure talent that doesn’t just “fit the role”, they change outcomes. They’re the ones who make strategies stick, cultures shift, and technology delivers on its promise.
