Meet our Founders

Jake Tomkins - Co-Founder

Conor Smith - Co-Founder
Conor & Jake previously worked together at Salt Recruitment, where Jake was the Director of Tech recruitment and Conor was a Managing Consultant and global top biller. We were closely aligned in how we approached recruitment and focused on being top performers through high-quality service.
We were dissatisfied with the poor service customers received from larger agencies through a lack of training and a focus on irrelevant metrics.
In 2022, we launched Evoke Talent, a premium technology search partner for start-ups and scale-ups. Over the past few years, we’ve worked with numerous Unicorn businesses and well-funded start-ups and scale-ups.
Our mission is to elevate our candidates and clients’ experiences with recruitment businesses, through our transparent communication and reliability of delivery. We also want to build a business that will give an amazing platform for high-performing recruiters.
Now we’re looking to build our Founding recruitment team 🚀
