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

You can. But here's what usually happens: you spend weeks writing job specs, screening CVs from people who can't actually do the job, and chasing candidates who ghost you after the first call.

Meanwhile the role stays empty and your team picks up the slack.

IT recruitment is what we do every day. We know exactly where your ideal hire hangs out - including the passive candidates who aren't on job boards - and how to attract them.

We've placed IT professionals into 381 companies since 2002, from mid-level developers to CTOs.

We'll get you a shortlist in 48 hours, and you won't pay a penny unless you hire someone.

The question isn't whether you can do it yourself - it's whether the empty desk is costing you more than our fee.

What happens after I click the green button and send you my brief?

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.

How much do you charge?

It depends on the role you want us to work on and how complex it is to fill.

Get in touch with us and 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.

Do you recruit in my industry?

Almost certainly. We've worked on thousands of IT and tech roles across every industry you can think of - from SaaS and fintech to manufacturing, healthcare, and financial services.

The technology stacks differ but the recruitment principles are the same, and we know how to find exceptional technologists regardless of sector.

Give us a call on 0121 362 2300 and ask if your industry is particularly niche.

Which locations do you cover?

The whole of the UK. We use Teams, Zoom, and FaceTime to thoroughly vet every candidate before presenting them to you, so no location is too remote.

Whether you're hiring in London, Leeds, or Llanelli - and whether the role is office-based, hybrid, or fully remote - we've got it covered.

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.
