Lewis Steadman
I'm Lewis, Founder and Director of Steadman Brown.
I started the business from my spare bedroom in late 2017, and am immensely proud how Steadman Brown has become a real major player in the UK Salesforce Recruitment Market. I've spent nearly a decade dedicated solely to the Salesforce recruitment market, working with companies around the world, attract, hire and retain the very best Salesforce talent.
We asked Lewis...
Having managed, created, and built Salesforce recruitment teams for two other companies, the next challenge for me was simple, to do it for myself.
I hate that recruitment has a reputation for a smoke and mirrors type approach. So, Steadman Brown was set up with a couple of really clear USP's: Be brutally honest with everyone, be passionate about what we do, and enjoy helping people! This clear, honest, and direct approach has meant that many of our clients work exclusively with Steadman Brown, and so many of our candidates have transitioned to become clients.
We're not the biggest Salesforce recruitment agency in the UK. But we are the most honest, and transparent one.
What's the best thing about recruitment?
The ability to influence and watch people's careers grow. I've recruited so many candidates who have gone from Admin to Technical Architect, and from CRM Manager to Director. Watching people's careers grow and being able to influence, this is really special.
If you could have a superpower, what would it be?
To be able to time travel. The world is full of unanswered questions and problems that could have easily had a better outcome, so by time traveling, I could change those.
Favourite thing to watch
Only fools and Horses. There is never not a moment that Only Fools and Horses can't be a good thing to watch!
Pet peeve
Indecisiveness. I am a firm believer that no decision is the wrong decision. I'd rather make a mistake through trying, than to not try.

I’m Josh, a Salesforce headhunter who specialises in the Salesforce Development and Architecture space.
Steadman Brown hired me as their second employee in 2018 and I have not looked back since then. With over 4 years of experience recruiting Top Salesforce Professionals, I recently earned my Salesforce Associate Certification. When I began my Salesforce recruitment career in the contract market, I kept hearing "Lewis Steadman" and "Steadman Brown" from many of my candidates. One candidate, in particular, stated that it was his 'go-to' recruitment spreadsheet for Salesforce. At the time, I was ranked third, and I asked, "Who is number one?"? Lewis Steadman. So I took it upon myself and asked Steadman Brown if they were looking to hire.
Now, I lead a team of Consultants, Alex and Charlie, whose sole focus is to recruit Salesforce professionals within the Salesforce Development and Architecture space. It is applicable to all Salesforce Architect positions, whether they are Technical, Solutions, or Data Architecture positions.
We asked Josh...

I have the opportunity to speak to and help hundreds of people who I would not have been able to if I wasn't in the profession. Every day I learn something new about Salesforce, technology, and candidates.
