About Richard Deas

  • Manchester
  • Directors

I’m Senior Vice President at Xpertise Recruitment, responsible for building and growing our US business.

I work with technology businesses across the US to help them build, scale and strengthen specialist teams across Applied AI, Forward Deployed Engineering, Data Engineering & Platforms, Product & Engineering, and Data Centers / Digital Infrastructure.

Our approach is built around the problem the client is trying to solve. That may mean finding one critical hire, building out an entire function, providing contract resource for a period of high demand, or supporting a defined project through staff augmentation or managed delivery.

We support clients across:
- Permanent and executive search
- Contract recruitment
- Team build-outs
- Staff augmentation
- Project-based / SOW delivery
- Market mapping and talent intelligence

I’ve spent more than 15 years in recruitment, developing specialist markets and supporting clients across the UK, US and international markets. 

My focus at Xpertise is on helping clients access hard-to-find talent, build high-performing teams quickly and create a recruitment model that can scale with the business.
