Tech4Good Recruitment: Introduction
We’re pleased to welcome Tech4Good Recruitment to the Play It Green community.
Founded by David Powell, Tech4Good Recruitment is a Manchester-based recruitment business connecting talented technology professionals with organisations whose work is making a real difference in health, life sciences, environmental innovation and other impact-led sectors.
That makes Tech4Good Recruitment a strong fit for Play It Green. The business sits where talent, technology and purpose meet, helping clients build teams that can move meaningful work forward. On top of that, Tech4Good Recruitment is supporting Bolton Lads and Girls Club, with a donation linked to every successful candidate placed. It is a smart and grounded way to connect commercial success with local social impact.
We recently caught up with founder David Powell to learn more about the business, why sustainability matters to him, and what the future holds.
Please tell us a little about Tech4Good Recruitment
Tech4Good Recruitment is a purpose-driven recruitment agency focused on connecting talented professionals with organisations that are using technology to create a positive impact in the world. We specialise in sectors such as Climate Tech, HealthTech, GovTech, and other mission-led industries where innovation is being used to solve real-world challenges. Our approach goes beyond traditional recruitment — we take the time to understand the values, goals, and impact of the organisations we work with, ensuring we match them with individuals who are not only skilled but also aligned with their purpose.
At the heart of Tech4Good Recruitment is a belief that the right people can accelerate meaningful change. Every placement we make is an opportunity to contribute to something bigger, whether that’s advancing sustainability, improving healthcare outcomes, or supporting communities through technology. We combine industry expertise with a human, values-led approach to help organisations build teams that drive both business success and positive societal impact.
Why is sustainability important to Tech4Good Recruitment?
Sustainability is central to Tech4Good Recruitment because it sits at the heart of what “tech for good” truly means. The organisations we partner with are not just building innovative technology – they are tackling some of the world’s most pressing challenges, from climate change and clean energy to sustainable infrastructure and responsible digital transformation. By supporting these businesses to grow, we are directly contributing to a more sustainable future.
As a recruitment business, we recognise the influence we have in shaping industries through talent. Every placement is an opportunity to support organisations that are creating positive environmental and social impact. Sustainability isn’t a separate initiative for us – it’s embedded in our purpose, guiding who we work with, how we operate, and the long-term value we aim to create for our clients, candidates, and the wider world.
Why did you decide to join Play It Green?
I decided to join Play It Green after speaking to Richard because it perfectly fits with our belief system at Tech4Good and the transparency and data that it provides, so that you can be comfortable that your contribution is being used to fuel good.
The other thing that really made Play It Green stand out is the ability to support your local community at the same time as restoring nature.
What does the future hold for Tech4Good Recruitment?
The future of Tech4Good is about scaling impact through people, innovation, and purpose. As technology continues to shape every aspect of society, the demand for organisations that use tech to solve real-world challenges will only grow — across climate, health, education, energy, and beyond. Tech4Good Recruitment exists to support that movement by connecting mission-driven companies with the talent they need to make meaningful change happen.
Looking ahead, Tech4Good will play an increasingly important role in building the teams behind transformative technologies – from AI and digital health to clean energy and sustainable infrastructure. It’s not just about filling roles; it’s about shaping industries with the right people, values, and vision. The future is one where impact and innovation go hand in hand, and Tech4Good Recruitment is positioned to be at the centre of that journey.

Play It Green Founder, Richard Dickson
“David has built Tech4Good Recruitment around something that matters far more than filling vacancies. He is helping good businesses find the people they need to grow, and helping talented people find work that has real meaning. I like the fact that there is real substance behind the name. Technology can solve serious problems, yet it still comes down to people. Linking each successful placement to support for Bolton Lads and Girls Club makes that even stronger. It shows that growth, community and positive impact can sit side by side from day one.”
