About Us

Born from a desire to disrupt the Boston headhunter scene and rewrite the rulebook when it comes to what a specialist recruiter is expected to be, Acceler8 Talent launched out of our Portland Street Boston office in 2019. The goal was always high performance – both inhouse and in our staffing – and collaborate with companies working at the forefront of some of the most exciting technologies in the world.

We’re proud to partner with firms doing just that in Boston and beyond in our core specialisms and fill permanent and contract assignments in AI and machine learning, hardware acceleration and quantum computing, silicon photonics, and relevant emerging technologies. Our laser focus on these markets allows us to offer unmatched expertise in recruitment and staffing and have a deep awareness of the challenges faced scaling up a team with the right talent as a startup or large business.
