Supporting the Teams Behind Digital Innovation
The tech, media and entertainment sector moves faster than almost any other part of the economy. Streaming platforms compete for subscribers, broadcasters restructure around digital-first audiences, and software businesses race to keep pace with AI adoption. Employers across this space need people who can operate at that speed - which is why demand for tech and media recruitment continues to outstrip the supply of experienced candidates.
McGregor Boyall is a specialist media and tech recruitment agency, connecting organisations across technology, broadcast, publishing, gaming and digital entertainment with the talent that keeps them competitive. Our consultants work across permanent, contract and executive search, sourcing candidates for tech jobs, from hands-on technical hires through to senior leadership appointments.
Whether you're scaling an engineering team or searching for your next role in tech, our consultants bring the sector expertise you'd expect from specialist recruitment agencies for media and technology businesses, tailored to your growth plans.
Who We Partner With
Supporting Organisations Across Tech, Media & Entertainment
Our tech and media recruitment expertise spans the full breadth of the sector - from global streaming platforms and broadcasters to SaaS businesses, gaming studios and consumer technology brands. A fintech scale-up hiring for tech jobs has very different needs to a broadcaster building out a content team, and we tailor our approach accordingly.
We partner with organisations including:
- Software and SaaS businesses
- Streaming and broadcast platforms
- Publishing and digital media companies
- Gaming and interactive entertainment studios
- Advertising and marketing agencies
- Consumer technology brands
- Telecoms and infrastructure providers
- Film, TV and production companies
From early-stage tech businesses to established media groups, our consultants support hiring at every stage of growth, aligning recruitment strategy with both commercial and creative objectives.
Our Specialisms
Successful tech, media and entertainment organisations rely on specialists across multiple disciplines. Our sub-specialisms cover the roles that keep these businesses building, growing and staying secure.
Business Support & Secretarial
Strong executive teams rely on strong operational support.
From Executive Assistants and Personal Assistants to Office Managers and Business Support Leads, we identify professionals who bring structure, discretion and pace to senior environments. These roles often sit close to decision-makers, so trust, judgement and adaptability matter just as much as experience.
Change & Transformation
Transformation requires leaders who can turn strategy into delivery.
We support organisations undergoing restructuring, digital change, post-merger integration or large-scale operational improvement. This includes Transformation Directors, Change Leads and Programme Sponsors who can engage stakeholders, manage risk and drive adoption.
Compliance, Governance & Legal
When oversight matters, leadership quality matters more.
We recruit senior professionals across compliance, governance and legal functions who understand regulation, internal controls and corporate responsibility. From General Counsel to Heads of Compliance and Company Secretaries, we focus on leaders who can protect the organisation while enabling growth.
Cloud, DevOps & Infrastructure
Modern businesses depend on resilient, scalable platforms.
We support hiring across cloud architecture, infrastructure leadership and DevOps strategy. That includes CTOs, Heads of Infrastructure, Cloud Directors and Platform Engineering Leads who can balance performance, cost and security.
Data & Analytics
Data is only valuable if it shapes decisions.
We recruit Chief Data Officers, Heads of Analytics, BI Directors and senior data leaders who can build data capability across the organisation. This includes governance, architecture and insight delivery.
Development & Testing
Product and engineering leadership defines delivery standards.
From Engineering Directors to Heads of QA and Software Development Managers, we identify leaders who can build high-performing teams, improve release cycles and raise technical quality.
Digital Marketing, Communications & Sales
Revenue growth depends on aligned commercial leadership.
We support executive hiring across marketing, brand, communications and sales. This includes CMOs, Commercial Directors and Growth Leaders who can translate market insight into revenue performance.
Finance, Audit & Accounting
Financial leadership shapes stability and strategy.
We recruit CFOs, Finance Directors and Heads of Audit who bring oversight, forecasting capability and commercial insight. Whether preparing for investment, scaling operations or strengthening controls, the right finance executive changes decision-making at every level.
HR & Talent Management
People strategy drives business performance.
We identify Chief People Officers, HR Directors and Talent Leaders who can shape workforce planning, culture and leadership development. This includes organisations navigating growth, restructuring or cultural change.
Information & Cyber Security
Security is a board-level issue.
We support hiring for CISOs, Heads of Information Security and Cyber Risk Leaders who can manage threat landscapes, regulatory requirements and internal resilience.
Project & Programme Management
Delivery discipline protects investment.
We recruit Programme Directors, PMO Leaders and Portfolio Managers who can oversee complex initiatives and ensure accountability across timelines, budgets and stakeholders.
Risk Management & Quantitative Analytics
In volatile markets, risk leadership becomes strategic.
We support hiring across enterprise risk, market risk, credit risk and quantitative analytics functions. From Chief Risk Officers to Quant Leads, we focus on leaders who combine analytical depth with commercial judgement.
Procurement & Supply Chain
Supply chain leadership impacts cost, resilience and reputation.
We recruit Heads of Procurement, Supply Chain Directors and Operations Leaders who can manage global suppliers, mitigate disruption and optimise performance.
How Technology & Media Hiring Is Changing
Rapid technological change and evolving consumer expectations continue to reshape hiring across the tech, media and entertainment sector. Here are some of the key trends influencing recruitment today.
AI, Cloud & Cyber Skills Demand
AI adoption is reshaping demand for tech jobs faster than almost any other market trend. Cybersecurity, cloud and data roles remain among the hardest positions to fill, creating longer hiring times and increased competition for experienced professionals.
Digital Media & Entertainment Growth
Streaming platforms, digital publishing and online entertainment continue to fuel hiring across the media sector. This growth is driving demand for specialists in digital distribution, content operations, rights management and other digital-first functions.
Competition for Specialist Talent
Skilled professionals across technology, data and digital disciplines remain in short supply. Although hiring has eased slightly in some markets, organisations continue to compete for experienced candidates, making specialist tech and media recruitment expertise increasingly valuable.

Tech, Media & Entertainment Recruitment We Offer
Explore Our Recruitment Services
Permanent Recruitment
We build core teams and critical functions for the long term. Permanent hiring is where cultural fit and long-term trajectory matter as much as immediate capability.
Contract Recruitment
Fast access to specialists when you need them, for exactly as long as the work demands. Most commonly used across transformation programmes, where pace matters and permanent headcount isn't the answer.
Contingent Search
We offer contingent recruitment for businesses that need flexible support with live roles, evolving requirements, or specialist vacancies across their teams.
Embedded Recruitment
For businesses in sustained periods of growth, we place specialist recruiters inside your organisation, operating as an extension of your talent acquisition function rather than as an external supplier responding to requisitions.
Retained Search
We offer retained search for critical, senior, or hard-to-fill appointments that need a dedicated process, structured market mapping, and focused delivery.
Consultancy
For organisations looking to improve not just who they hire, but how they hire, process design, TA operating models, and advisory support that goes beyond individual search assignments.
Executive Search
For the appointments that define what a business becomes, we use a structured search approach: thorough market mapping, rigorous validation, and the reach to find people who aren't looking.
