UK and Ireland
Despite the trend for near shoring and off shoring IT projects in recent years, the City of London has retained its position as a major banking and financial services centre. Our UK banking client list includes many of the most well-known and influential investment banks in the world – and technology is a key strategic driver in this competitive market.
Recruiting skilled technology talent is therefore of vital importance to our clients. We have developed a strong reputation for doing just that, whether clients are looking for a permanent addition to the team, a number of contractors for a specific project or a senior appointment to lead and shape the future of the business.
The Commercial business has clients based in London and around the UK in a range of industries including broadcasting, insurance, retail banking, media and telecommunications. Like banking, IT is central to the strategy of organisations and their ability to achieve a competitive advantage.
Track Record
Having never lost a place on a preferred supplier list (PSL) as a result of poor performance, we consistently maintain our top level positions on our client PSLs. We have a reputation for delivering high calibre talent across a wide range of asset classes and technologies, when many of our competitors specialise in just one or two areas.
The UK business is divided into two divisions – Banking and Commercial – each of which has a contract and a permanent desk that is broken down into teams with expertise in a particular vertical market. The Commercial division is split into industry focused teams.
Each team is made up of expert consultants with unrivalled knowledge of their specialist market and a strong network of candidates and contacts. Our internal database and networks ensure we can draw from a talent pool of passive candidates as well as those actively seeking a new position.
