Jobs in Leeds
A deep finance and technology market, and the busiest of our desks outside the North West.
The market here
Leeds has quietly become one of the more balanced technical markets in the UK. Financial services and healthtech anchor the technology hiring, while the manufacturing belt running east towards Hull keeps a steady flow of process and quality roles open.
The city’s data engineering market is genuinely competitive. Candidates with production Snowflake or dbt experience typically hold two or three live processes at once, and offers below the mid-sixties rarely convert. Finance and legal hiring has been steadier, with the strongest demand in financial crime and regulatory reporting.
Counter-offers are more common here than anywhere else we recruit. We tell clients to plan for it rather than be surprised by it.
