Find out about some of the people that already work for us
Preferred IT is a well established IT recruitment consultancy which is expanding as a result of recommendations and organic growth.
Due to this growth, we are always interested in speaking to people about joining our award winning team.
Ideally we are looking for people with experience in IT recruitment but this is not essential – many of our longest serving and most successful members of staff have come from outside IT recruitment and have been trained and developed “in-house”.
Every single person in the company has a generous training budget to manage as they wish.
Our staff retention and staff remuneration are amongst the very best in the recruitment industry and as a result 53%! of our recruiters have worked with us for more than two years and 27% have been with us for more than five years. Some have been with us since the company started in 1998. (Figures as of March 2008)
