Gary Harkin

Gary Harkin is a Director at MAM Gruppe and a specialist in Software Engineering recruitment across Germany, working exclusively within this vertical since graduating from the University of Sussex and entering the world of IT recruitment.

Over his career, Gary has built a strong network across Germany's software engineering community, working with DAX 40 organisations and high-growth technology companies to place mid to executive level software professionals. He does not work with junior developers. His focus is on experienced engineers, technical leaders, and the people who run engineering functions.

The roles Gary recruits for span the full software stack. On the engineering side, that includes Backend Engineers, Frontend Engineers, Full Stack Engineers and specialists across Java, Python, Kotlin, C++ and .NET. At the leadership end, Gary places Engineering Managers, Heads of Software Development, VPs of Engineering and CTOs, working with organisations that are scaling their engineering teams or replacing critical leadership.

Germany's software engineering talent market is one of the most competitive in Europe. Experienced engineers have options, and the best ones are rarely applying to job adverts. Gary's network is built on years of direct relationships with software professionals across Germany, which means he can reach candidates that most recruiters simply cannot.
