Senior IT and Architecture Leaders

Get the right architect onto your team in days, not months

We're Konvergent. We help you define the real role, hand pick two or three vetted architects, and protect your investment after onboarding, with our Engaged Search Method.

TRUSTED BY

Struggling to find an architect who actually fits the role?

You've probably already tried generalist recruiters, internal HR and your preferred supplier list. You may have been presented with 50 CVs in two weeks or one CV in six weeks.

And sure, you may have seen a few CVs land, but deep down, you know whilst they had the correct job title on their CV, they were not what you want to hire, and you can't keep burning weeks screening them. You need something more reliable.

We get it. I spent 25 years inside architecture, watching Chief Architects make the wrong hires as the right option was never presented to begin with.

That's exactly why we built the Engaged Search Method. It's a simple way to get the right architect in place fast, helping you fill the role in days (interim) and weeks (permanent) while keeping your programme moving, while also protecting your investment long after onboarding.

We also can't stand generalist SI's who send consultants who need hand holding. They add to your work load, not reduce it.

Introducing Konvergent

We help senior IT leaders to get a shortlist of two or three vetted, role right architects in as little as 48 to 72 hours without wading through irrelevant CVs using our Engaged Search Method

No piles of keyword matched CVs

We agree deliverables, architecture maturity, pace and stakeholders in writing before anyone is approached.

No dragging your senior people into endless interviews

You get three or four profiles, not a pile of CVs, so your architects stay on the programme instead of in interview rooms.

No need to rely on unknown quantities

Every associate we put forward is already proven on a Konvergent assignment — the 2% of contract architects we would work with again.

Just two or three vetted people who are genuinely right.

Three profiles in 48 to 72 hours for interim. Three qualified, interested candidates in 4 to 8 weeks for permanent.

How does it work?

(Not all steps are required for associate architects)

Define the real role

Ben takes the brief himself and challenges it, so the real role is defined by what needs delivering, not the job title.

"I barely have time to write a JD, let alone brief a recruiter properly."

That's the point. Ben understands the need from the bare minimum, so you don't have to spell it all out.

Active sourcing

The engaged search method ensures only those who can deliver what is needed are spoken to.

"I am fed up having to read countless CVs and interview people who were never right to begin with."

You get two or three pre vetted, role right people from Ben's network, each with a clear one page profile and risk score. Each time, every time.

Protect your investment

Regular contact throughout, managing potential counteroffers, etc., and providing governance oversight for associates.

"Most recruiters disappear the moment they're paid."

This is the managed layer that gives you far more than a shortlist, and it's why clients come back again and again.

Here's why our customers love us

Konvergent was founded by Ben Clark in 2015 who saw how the wrong processes, and lack understanding of the nuances architecture, meant wrong hires and countless wasted hours for time poor Chief Architects. We do one thing: put role-right architects in front of senior IT and architecture leaders, fast. Every shortlist is built by Ben personally, two or three people, each interviewed by him, each matched to the real role rather than a keyword. Interim roles filled in 48 to 72 hours. Permanent hires fully vetted shortlist within 4 to 8 weeks.
