Why Working With Us Isn't About Quantity - It's About Fit

Flooding your inbox with CVs won’t solve IT recruitment challenges. Learn how focusing on quality over quantity can secure the right tech talent.

Why Sending More CVs Isn’t the Answer to Your IT Recruitment Challenges

When you’re trying to fill an IT role, it’s easy to think that more CVs equal better chances of finding the right candidate. But here’s the truth: quantity doesn’t solve your hiring challenges—quality does. Sorting through endless CVs that don’t align with your role’s requirements isn’t just frustrating; it wastes time, money, and energy.

At Coburg Banks, we take a different approach. We focus on quality in IT hiring, ensuring you see only the most relevant candidates who truly fit your needs. Because when it comes to tech recruitment, it’s not about how many CVs you get—it’s about getting the right ones.

The Problem with the “More Is Better” Mindset

Let’s be real: receiving a flood of CVs can feel overwhelming. Many hiring managers make the mistake of thinking that casting a wide net will help them find the perfect candidate faster. But what usually happens instead?

  • Irrelevant candidates: You end up sifting through applications from people who don’t have the right skills or experience.
  • Time wasted: Hours are spent reviewing profiles that don’t match the role, delaying the hiring process.
  • Missed opportunities: The best candidates might slip through the cracks simply because they’re lost in the noise.

This approach might work for generalist roles, but when it comes to IT recruitment, where skills and cultural fit are critical, it’s a recipe for disaster.

Why Generic Recruitment Agencies Don’t Deliver

Turning to a general recruitment agency might seem like a logical solution, but it often leads to the same frustrations. These agencies don’t specialise in IT, which means they lack the deep industry knowledge needed to identify top tech talent.

Here’s what happens when you work with a generalist agency:

  • Surface-level understanding: They don’t fully grasp the specific skills or certifications required for the role.
  • Focus on volume: Their priority is often sending as many CVs as possible, rather than ensuring quality matches.
  • Misaligned candidates: You receive candidates who might tick some boxes but aren’t truly the right fit for your team or company culture.

If you’ve ever felt like your recruitment partner just doesn’t “get it,” you’re not alone. That’s why working with a specialist like Coburg Banks can make all the difference.

Life Before Coburg Banks: A Recruitment Nightmare

Before working with Coburg Banks, many of our clients describe their recruitment process as chaotic and inefficient. They were drowning in irrelevant CVs, struggling to find candidates with the right mix of technical skills and cultural fit.

Does any of this sound familiar?

  • Unqualified candidates: Applications from people who don’t meet even the minimum requirements.
  • Hiring delays: Roles left vacant for months because the right candidate couldn’t be found.
  • Costly mistakes: Hiring the wrong person, only to start the process all over again when they don’t work out.

These challenges don’t just slow down your hiring process—they impact your ability to deliver projects on time and stay ahead in a competitive tech landscape. That’s where we come in.
