What makes a great ICT recruitment service?

It can be helpful to keep the following in mind when choosing an ICT recruitment service.
- Extensive experience. ICT is a specialised area, so it’s wise to select a recruitment agency with demonstrated runs on the board. You may also want end-to-end services.
- Speed and efficiency. Often, you’ll need ICT positions filled urgently. Therefore, select an agile ICT recruitment agency that moves quickly and efficiently.
- Thorough and trusted. Choose a recruitment agency you can trust to provide advice and source the best ICT candidates. This is especially important because competition for top candidates is stiff.
- In-depth capability. The ICT sector has a wide range and large number of roles, crossing junior to senior levels. Ask the recruitment agency which capability areas they have filled.
- Sector experience. Choose an ICT recruitment agency that has worked in your sector, whether that’s government, private or not-for-profit.
