He looked after our entire hiring process from the point of preparing a job description until the first day of a successful hire.

He works crazy long hours that appear to be unsustainable, but he pulls it off because he clearly enjoys what he is doing.

We know how to run a fast, effective recruitment process. We've done this professionally for years and can avoid the mistakes of the past, learn from each new recruitment process, and ask the difficult or important questions.
We are experienced in closing & securing the candidate that is being offered. As the 3rd party, candidates are often much more open and honest about what they like/dislike about an opportunity.
In the unlikely event of a problem, you can have a no hassle, free replacement if the candidate doesn't work out within the first 6 months of them starting with you.
Most agencies only cover you for a partial refund within 12 weeks/3 months.
We have access to a big network of specialists, we have access to candidate platforms and tools, we can advertise and we have a database of candidates from previous work performed.
We can quickly drill down into our established networks to find great candidates who would be interested. It's what we do every day.
Recruitment is rarely straightforward - quite often it's a time consuming activity.
There are all those candidates to process. All candidates require information about the role, and have follow up questions. They all need to be kept informed about the process. Finding good candidates in the first place can be a difficult job.
Is it better to pay a expert to do all this or have somebody who would prefer not to do it and whose talents would be better used elsewhere?
Along we a CV we can record Teams pre-screen interviews with questions that you have provided, or our own.
Video is a much better way of assessing a candidates personality and communication level.
The best candidates are often passive, meaning they are not actively looking for the next opportunity. They wont respond to adverts.
We are able to reach out to passive candidates directly and know what they might be interested in if approached proactively.
What is the cost of a bad hire to a team? Using IT8 can reduce the risk of making a bad hire as we will present you with multiple great candidates for you to choose from - and we know our market.
