With over 15 years of experience in specialist Tech recruitment, Softweb founder Adeel Nadeem has placed more software developers, programmers and engineers than most devs have run regression tests.
His laser focus on finding the right person for the right role is matched only by his determination to make a difference in the world. When he’s not placing candidates, you’ll find him hiking, cooking or hanging out with his son.

What others
say about us
Adeel (and his team) became an extension of Zappar over the years. We first worked together on very hard to fill, specialist computer vision roles. His understanding of this area was heads and shoulders above other recruiters. We moved onto developer roles which he worked efficiently and effectively on, proactively finding great talent. The feedback from candidates on their experience with him has been overwhelmingly positive and he’s been a great representative of the Zappar culture and brand.
Softweb is the only recruiter I’ve worked with who has comprehensively and correctly screened candidates on our behalf. This has saved us a lot of time and ensures we only interview quality engineers who meet our job specifications.
Adeel is by far in a class of his own when it comes to recruitment. As his candidate I found him to be incredibly friendly and attentive as well as knowledgeable about his clients and their technologies. I don't want to embarrass him too much here, so suffice it to say that when I'm hiring in the future he'll be the guy I call.
Adeel is by far the best recruiter I've come across. He took the time to actually understand exactly what roles I was interested in and has great knowledge of the C++ industry in the UK, so his recommendations were by far the most valuable.
My job search took a little while but he was always very patient and easy to talk to. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Adeel to anyone.
I had the pleasure of exploring with Adeel's help the landscape of C++ development jobs in the UK. He was very thorough in trying to understand me as a person, what I'm looking for professionally but also what interests and motivates me from an intellectual point of view. This allowed him to recommend a corporate client of his that indeed was a spot-on choice for me.
All-in-all, it was a pleasure collaborating with him. If you're a C++ developer and aren't quite sure how to approach the UK job market, I highly recommend having a chat with Adeel.
Adeel is extremely helpful and very easy to talk to. He helped me find a great role with an amazing company. He looked after me through the entire process, answering all of my questions (and there were alot) and kept me updated with the status of my application.
Adeel was very informative and professional, he ensured that I was prepared and well equipped for the interview process and the role.
I greatly appreciate the time and effort he went through to assist me in getting my new role. I can wholeheartedly recommend him and his work.
Adeel is fantastic at his job. By using his expert knowledge of the C++ jobs market, he found me a role that was an exact fit for what I wanted. He was 100% professional at all times, he was always willing to talk, and he always listened to and took full account of my thoughts and questions. Adeel is an extremely nice guy and an absolute pleasure to work with.
Adeel was really friendly and helpful, making the recruitment process easy and enjoyable.
From the outset, Adeel took the time to speak to myself and the relevant technical managers to gain an understanding of our priorities when recruiting technical employees and the general culture of our company. He is always polite and professional, listening to feedback to continuously refine his selection process. Adeel also considers the longer term ambitions of candidates in the context of our company to try to ensure the longevity of placements.
I would not hesitate to recommend Adeel and the team at Softweb to anyone looking to recruit software/web professionals in the future.
