Common Questions & Answers
I have never been to a recruitment agency, how does it work?

As a recruitment agency, we work with both businesses and job seekers in the Tech and Digital space.

Employers are our clients, and they engage us to find great people for the job vacancies in their organisations. We do this by running a recruitment process to find the best candidates for the role.  The process involves consulting with the employer to understand more about the job, the team and the organisation, so that we can go to market and find job seekers who will be a great match for the vacant role, and the business. We’ll review the job applications, conduct phone screening, interviews, testing etc, depending on the requirements of the role, all on behalf of the employer. We provide our professional expertise to help find the very best person for the job.

At the same time, we work with job seekers.  We encourage talented candidates to register with us, which involves providing us with an up-to-date resume, information about skills, experience, and preferred career direction etc.  Then, when an employer gets in touch with a suitable vacancy, we’re able to make a quick connection.
