ADVANCE IN IT
Your Talent Partner in advancing innovation and automation businesses
20 years' expertise gives us great market insights to tackle business and recruitment challenges
Real Talent Specialists in Intelligent Solutions. Doing what what we truly love. Mindset is everything.
We've always liked making life easier for people in any way we can, so when this translates to working life, we thrive on simplifying the recruitment process to guarantee hiring success for companies. It isn't about just recruitment anymore. It's much more than that:
Keeping on top of technological developments, retaining your existing staff, work-life balance, effective management. Standing out in a crowded market. The list is endless.
Being quality driven and relationships focused has kept us in business for 15 years. Knowing the time pressures that hiring managers have, we are quality focused and will generally send 1-2 CVs per hire. Time saved. Clear thinking for their day jobs.
20 years ago we were building high performing software development teams with Java and .Net developers, ECM Consultants, EAI and BPM. Over the last 10 years or so, we have been building high performing data, AI, software development and Mendix teams and companies, mainly working directly with hiring managers, working with them as a sounding board but also as a Talent Partner.
With the emergence of GenAI, we are now excited to be building GenAI engineering teams who actually build intelligent solutions using LLMs on multiple platforms. Gemini, GPT, Claude, Bedrock. It goes on!
The reason we launched Advance in IT is to help shift mindsets - bridging the gap between what C-level leaders and Hiring Managers see inside their business as well as what’s actually happening outside it.
Salaries shifting.
Candidate expectations changing.
Competitors hiring differently.
Processes losing good people.
Roles that simply aren’t attractive anymore.
Not just a recruiter
As a Talent Specialists, we help you stand out and get noticed as well as helping your business get you in better shape, being more organised, more profitable and happier, keeping hold of your valuable employees. We get to know all our contacts to get the best out of them. Focusing on relationships and quality is the magic combination that drives my success.

AI screening and how to be seen
As a candidate, it's already overwhelming trying to apply for jobs and getting to the selection process, especially with AI driven ATS systems that might reject you for irrelevant reasons.
We are here to help you find your purpose and dream job but also to help you stand out and show what you can really do.
