About Yakka Digital
Founded on the belief that exceptional teams are the foundation of successful businesses, I help companies attract, hire, and develop the technical talent they need to thrive.
Daniel Jackson
With over 20 years of experience in IT leadership and recruitment, I've seen firsthand the challenges companies face when trying to build, lead, and elevate exceptional technical teams. From startups scaling their first engineering team to established companies navigating complex technical transformations, the right talent makes all the difference.
I believe that great hiring isn't just about finding people to fill seats. It's about being equipped with the right processes to hire with confidence. It' about understanding your company's culture, growth trajectory, and long-term vision. Every engagement is a partnership focused on building sustainable success.
