IT Recruitment Agency London

You’re a recent IT graduate or an experienced IT Professional and you’ve decided you want to work in London? Why wouldn't you? It's an amazing multicultural city with lots to offer when it comes to entertainment and lifestyle. Even better, London is home to some of the world's leading tech companies, so you won't find better career prospects anywhere else in the UK.

 

Unless money isn't an issue, to be able to live in London, you'll need to find yourself a job. There are plenty of job sites you can scour for suitable opportunities. Some of the best sites include Adzuna, Glassdoor, Indeed and CV-Library.  You can also target your preferred employers directly and register to receive notification of new opportunities. Another option is to use an IT Recruitment Agency London.

 

Size Matters

The agencies you choose to register with will affect the type of role you might secure. For example, if you are only interested in working for a large multinational, then it is best to use a large, established IT Recruitment Agency. They are more likely to be a preferred supplier to large corporates and offer you the types of opportunities you are interested in. If you are happy to work for smaller companies or startups, then a small London based IT Recruitment Agency is probably a better bet. Smaller agencies work at all levels within the industry but predominantly work with local companies.  They are often sole suppliers to companies so you'll have less competition if you are put forward for a position.

 

Whichever agencies you choose to register with they must specialise in IT and have a presence in London. IT Recruitment Agencies London know their local market, have higher levels of interaction with their clients and will have more success finding you a job.

 

Keep Track of your Resume

If you have commercial experience and your skills set is in high demand agencies will be falling over themselves to talk to you and put you forward for positions. Always make sure you know which agencies have your resume and get confirmation if your resume is being submitted to a client. You don't want your resume submitted to the same company by several different agencies as the client will often discard it to avoid agency infighting.

 

Follow Up Your Application

If you are new to the IT Industry, either a recent graduate or through a career change, you'll probably need to work a little bit harder to get yourself noticed. For lower levels, agencies can receive a high volume of applications so don't rely on a recruitment agency calling you back. After you submit an online application for a role, it is worthwhile following up a couple of days later. The best way is to send an email asking if they have had a chance to review your application and highlight why you think you are suitable for the role.
