Unique fee structure Take a look at the various functional role pages across this website to view our varying fee structure. We offer some immensely competitive fees for a short 5 business day sole agency window. Furthermore, we don’t apply any temp to perm fees on temp hires either. *To the best of our knowledge we are the only UK IT recruitment agency to offer this. Candidate engagement We engage gently and respectfully with IT candidates. We are careful to provide full & complete details on vacancies/organisations to enable candidates to make a considered decision on whether to apply. We don’t pressure individuals to make premature decisions. This means all candidate applications we send you will be of candidates that have a genuine and positive interest in working for you. Knowledge Internal training is centred on technology and IT function understanding. We hold knowledge workshops to collectively deepen our understanding of all legacy, current and emerging technologies and how software products and functions interact to better able to support our clients consistently. Knowledge is a core strength of our offering. Responsibility Responsibility sits heavily on our shoulders. We have a responsibility to present candidates factually and objectively to recruiting clients. Highlighting any concerns as well as showing strengths. In turn, we are careful to give true clarity on job opportunities to candidates. We know a job move can have far-reaching implications for an individual so we don't brush over any concerns a candidate may have. We never forget our responsibility. Agency bugbears Fed up with fast-talking, over-familiar, pushy recruiters. That’s not us at all. We work quietly with the aim of delivering great results. We will listen respectfully to your needs, plan a search campaign and get to work. We aim to present a small selection of ‘best match’ candidates, objectively. Mindful of your workload we then wait patiently for feedback within an appropriate timeframe. Charity commitment Every time we send a candidate's CV to a recruiting client, we donate £1 to our nominated charity: the Born Free Foundation (registered charity no. 1070906). Born Free protects many species and is devoted to compassionate conservation and animal welfare. You can find a link to us on their corporate partnerships page under ‘who we work with’.
