Got any unanswered questions?

It would be totally unnatural if you hadn’t. Here’s a few of the more common FAQs we get asked. And if you’ve got any more that we don’t answer below, get in touch and ask us.
What does an IT recruitment agency do?

An IT recruitment agency finds, screens, and shortlists technology professionals on your behalf.

Instead of spending weeks writing job ads, trawling LinkedIn, and trying to assess whether someone's technical skills are genuine, you brief us on the role and we do the heavy lifting.

We interview and vet every candidate before you see them, so you only meet people who are genuinely right for the job - both technically and culturally.

At Coburg Banks, we've been recruiting IT professionals since 2002, covering everything from support roles and developers through to CTOs.

How long does it take to hire an IT professional?

The average time to hire for an IT role in the UK is 8–12 weeks when recruiting in-house - often longer for specialist or senior positions.

Through Coburg Banks, our average time to hire is 29 days.

We typically have a shortlist of vetted, interviewed candidates with you within a few days of receiving your brief, because we have immediate access to thousands of active and passive IT candidates across every technology discipline.

Why shouldn't I just recruit through LinkedIn or do it in-house?

You can - and for some roles it works. But IT recruitment has a particular challenge: the best candidates are rarely actively looking. They're already employed, not browsing job boards, and won't respond to a generic ad or InMail.

We spend every day building relationships with IT professionals across the UK - from developers and infrastructure engineers through to CTOs.

We know where they are and how to approach them.

We've completed over 1,700 IT recruitment assignments since 2002. We'll get you a shortlist of vetted candidates within days, and you won't pay a penny unless you hire someone.

What happens after I get in touch?

We'll get back to you within 20 minutes to have a quick chat about your role.

We'll ask a few questions to make sure we understand exactly what you need - the skills, the experience, the personality fit.

Then we get to work.

You'll typically have a shortlist of vetted, interviewed candidates within 48 hours.

No pressure, no hard sell - if you don't like what we send, there's no obligation to go further.

Do you recruit for any type of IT role?

Almost certainly. We cover the full spectrum of IT and technology roles - from software development, infrastructure, and cloud engineering through to cybersecurity, data, DevOps, ERP, and IT leadership.

Whether you're hiring a junior developer or a CTO, we've recruited for it before.

Give us a call on 0121 362 2300 if your role is particularly niche and we'll confirm.

How much does an IT recruitment agency charge?

It depends on the seniority and complexity of the role. For contract roles, we'll talk you through how the day rate and margin work.

We'll give you a clear figure upfront before we start - no surprises, and we won't charge you any more than that amount, even if you have to offer a higher salary to secure your ideal hire.

And remember, you don't pay anything unless we find someone you actually hire.

When do I have to pay the fee?

Not until your new hire starts work. There's nothing to pay upfront, nothing on shortlist, nothing on interview.

Our fee only becomes due once the successful candidate is sat at their desk working for you.

Which locations do you cover?

The whole of the UK. We recruit for IT roles in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Edinburgh, Bristol, and everywhere in between.

We use Teams, Zoom, and video calls to thoroughly vet every candidate before presenting them to you, so no location is too remote.

Do we get a rebate if the candidate leaves?

Yes. We operate a replacement and rebate scheme on every placement.

If you have to dismiss a candidate within the first three months, we'll either find you a replacement or refund a proportion of the fee.

It's there to give you complete peace of mind. Give us a call and we'll walk you through exactly how it works.

What if I don't like the CVs you send me?

No problem - there's zero obligation. Sometimes we don't get it exactly right first time, and that's fine.

Just tell us what's missing or what didn't fit, and we'll go back and refine the search.

We'd rather get it right than get it fast.
