IT Recruitment Agencies Directory
Due to the nature of the industry, recruitment in IT is diverse and covers a broad range of Computing and Technology-related disciplines. IT staff can be employed across a multitude of industries and recruitment agencies will typically place permanent, temporary or contract job-seekers into a variety of business types.
Recruitment agencies with expertise in making IT hires are situated across the UK and will include multi-sector and industry specialist employment firms. Nearly 50% of IT jobs are in London, and as a result, the capital city has the highest number of IT agencies.

Recruitment in the field can vary and vacancies may include that of a Web Designer, Software Developer, IT Technician or Business Analyst. Entry barriers into the field will depend on the vocation, however an IT degree, HND or BTEC qualification is usually expected of job applicants.
