Technology Jobs

Our Technology Division is positioned to work cross-sector within a multitude of Technological disciplines. These are to be found not only in London, but across the whole of the UK as well. The process involves finding talent solutions for a myriad of technology-based roles, including:

In our capacity as technology recruitment specialists, we have forged particularly strong relationships with companies, businesses, and organisations related to financial services. As a result, we often work with Tier 1 banks and FinTechs to provide short and long term talent placements.

However, these are not the only sectors of industry we find placements for. FS businesses, Digital Media, and Telecom companies will all benefit from our services as tech recruiters, and talent looking to move to new roles within these sectors will find the jobs which suit them best here.

About Technology Recruitment

Technology recruitment as a term covers a broad spectrum of disciplines, which may vary from software development and testing to cyber security and business intelligence. These are highly specialised and highly skilled roles, often requiring degree-level qualifications, knowledge and expertise related to specific programming languages, or even a certain number of years of experience working with enterprise computer systems.

What is Expected?

Talent working within Tech will normally find that companies expect a range of different tasks to be completed and duties to be carried out. Potential responsibilities include the planning and delivering of substantially-sized projects, such as the configuration and deployment of new servers and workstations, or troubleshooting problems for specific departments or an entire organisation.

It’s also possible that expectations may change over time, depending on the evolving needs of the organisation. To give an example, an employee might be required to install both new hardware and the software required to run it, but also to provide ongoing maintenance services over time to keep it working at its best and to minimise downtime.

Required Qualifications

Qualifications that allow individuals to move into and advance within Tech are most often very specific. These may demonstrate a candidate’s abilities with hardware, software, or both. Degrees in computer science, or an equivalent to these, may also be looked for and prioritised by recruiters. Talent with other professional certifications, such as Microsoft Certified Professional certification, may find that these additional accreditations help to strengthen their applications.

Generally, experience of working on enterprise-level technology projects, and experience in working with specific types of servers, programming languages, or monolithic and microservice architecture, also help to improve a candidate’s standing.

Necessary Skills

The skills required to succeed within a Tech role can be split into hard and soft skills. The hard skills that will be sought after by recruiters include:

  • The ability to learn new programming languages
  • The ability to deploy hardware and install software
  • Data analysis
  • Business intelligence

It is possible that some of these hard skills will be adequately demonstrated through an individual’s education history and academic qualifications. Other, similar skills may have also been obtained through an individual’s years of experience in their chosen role or sector, and demonstrated through their professional status within a business.

Soft skills that may help individuals to stand out to the companies and agencies they wish to be placed in include:

  • Logical thinking
  • Good communication skills
  • A keen interest in new technologies
