Tom Shingler

Principal Consultant

Career and education background:

I first got into recruitment back in 2013 in Bristol where I recruited software engineering contractors, before swiftly moving to London where I headed up the mobile development perm desk for 5 years at a leading international agency. 

In 2019, I moved back Southwest where I managed the DACH team for an agency in Bristol where we built product & tech teams for startups and scaleups in Berlin, making my way up to Associate Director before deciding I wanted to move to Australia with my partner. 

I am now the go to guy for all things product related in Sydney at Talenza.

What I’m passionate about:

My main interests are football and running. I have supported Manchester United since 1995 and they are the main reason I will be in a terrible mood in the office! I’m a keen runner, having run London Marathon in 2018 and currently training for Sydney Marathon in 2024. When I get spare time I am also a keen poker player!

What you can call me for:

After 10 years experience in recruitment there’s not really much I haven’t experienced or seen. I have a real interest in startups and scaleups and love partnering with founders who give me scope to build their teams to execute their vision.

Two facts about me:

I once got 7 balled in Pool by ex-World Snooker Champion, Judd Trump in Bristol. Weird fact is that I have no bone in my little toe on my right foot…
