What we do
At ITOL Recruit, we are dedicated to developing newly qualified professionals and then connecting them with Line Managers needing quality staff who can hit the ground running.
Since starting in 2007, we have focused in growth areas like project management, change management, business analysis, IT and Cyber Security and help make it easier for Line Managers to find quality staff while helping address skills shortages across the UK.
We realized that so many candidates were applying for roles they were not qualified for with out understanding the reasons why so many applications were leading to no success.
Our 18+ years of experience in this space enables us to help new career seekers and employers alike. We understand what line managers need from new staff and what jobseekers need to have successful careers. Through our ITonlinelearning division we are able to provide the accredited certifications needed for most of the roles we cover ensuring a much higher success rate in achieving interviews and new job roles.
We have a wide network of companies we already work with across the UK coupled with extensive resources, partners and skilled recruitment staff to help each candidate get placed.
