ClientsÂ
Consultative and Transparent
We partner with clients and offer key industry knowledge to help position them in a competitive marketplace, and attract the top-tier talent that other businesses cannot reach. Effective communication allows us to understand the ingredients for ideal matches and lasting placements, with post-placement support strategies to maximise retention.
Market access
With rare skills, markets become candidate driven. We maintain contact with world-wide networks of rare skilled candidates and work to understand their career aspirations. Established networks in specialist areas of IT, mean we are able to bring the best talent into consideration for our clients, including those not actively looking for new positions.
Reputation
The majority of our placements come from ongoing business with existing clients, placing candidates already known to us, or recommended from within our networks. We believe that word of mouth and personal recommendation are key.
Why use a specialist recruitment agency
For specific IT recruitment needs, a generalist approach to sourcing can do more harm than good. IT is not always the core service of a company, but the functionality of complex IT infrastructure can be critical for success. A company may not always know specifically what qualities and experience are needed from a candidate, but a specialist agency briefed on the general requirements for the role, can use their market knowledge and expertise to target the right match.
Recruitment takes time.
This will invariably include advertisements, job descriptions, reaching out to networks and of course many, many phone calls. A specialist agency will have an established database of the top-tier professionals and an understanding of their preferred type of work. This means not only finding the best person for a job, but doing it faster, saving clients associated costs incurred through lost time.
International networks mean better shortlists.
Companies that do their own hiring, often hire someone from the local area, even when advertising internationally. A specialist agency works to locate and maintain contact with candidates from different countries who are not only the best at what they do in the market, but often willing to consider relocation.
Market knowledge.
Specialist recruiters spend a lot of time looking at jobs, and are very familiar with industry averages in regard to remuneration and other factors such as language specific work, location etc. A recruiter is therefore able to discuss realistic salary / rate expectations with candidates based on market knowledge, and ensure the company ends up paying a price that is both fair for the candidate (improving candidate retention), but also competitive in the market to avoid any unnecessary costs.
Many companies waste time and money looking for candidates in the wrong places. The right candidates are out there, but knowing where to look is critical. Recruiters are only paid if they are successful in finding the right person for their client; good recruiters are necessarily efficient. Knowing where to advertise a role and what factors are important for candidates in that particular market, can mean the difference between the right person being brought into consideration or not.

Pelham Green has so far supported our business with four placements that had been a struggle to fill through our usual channels. They are always friendly and professional, and take a genuine interest in the future of their candidates. It is a pleasure to work with a supplier that treats our business and brand as they would their own. Recommended!
Working with Pelham Green, the whole process was smooth and efficient. They took the time to get to know what was needed in detail, and were interested to understand how our business worked and what made prospective employees the right fit for us. Pelham Green were able to present candidates that were a very good match. This was very helpful at a difficult time!
I engaged Pelham Green to use their knowledge of the Appian market to attract certified, German speaking professionals with experience in the financial services sector. We onboarded two of their candidates, and I can say without hesitation that we will be working with Pelham Green again in future.
When I want to hire for our BPM or RPA teams, Pelham Green are my first call. We were recently looking for a Pega LSA to come in at short notice and resolve some issues that had become critical for the success of one of our projects. Pelham Green were able to present two strong candidates at short notice whose expectations matched our own, one of whom then started work with us just over a week later. Supplying this candidate at short notice was essential, and I was very happy this could be done quickly.
