IT Skillfinder moves ahead in the ’Fast 50’
IT Skillfinder are delighted to announce that they have been placed in the top 5 fastest growing privately held recruitment firms in the United Kingdom across all sectors, according to research carried out for the “Fast 50” survey by Recruiter Magazine and Catalyst Corporate Finance’s league (Source: Recruiter Magazine 20/01/10).
IT Skillfinder’s Managing Director, Darren Hall, commented “Our recent placing in the “Fast 50” is a reflection of the hard work, dedication and commitment displayed by our employees on a daily basis. Unusually for a recruitment business we have an incredibly low staff turnover, which we have achieved through focusing on staff development and rewarding our Consultants fairly for success, via an excellent commission structure and regular incentives. Over the last 12 months we have also introduced new management processes which have dramatically improved employee performance and addressed training needs.”
Starting out from humble beginnings in 2003, IT Skillfinder has steadily progressed in the recruitment market, quietly establishing a reputation for leading the way through innovative IT Recruitment services. Now with large offices in the City and a hardworking team of both contract and permanent consultants, there is no limit to the success that can be achieved by this growing and dedicated company.
In the harsh economic climate of 2009, thanks to their loyal UK and international client base, IT Skillfinder not only survived, but grew; possibly one of the few recruitment companies to increase their staff and turnover in what is widely believed to be the worst economic downturn in recent history. Their eye now is placed firmly on the future and expansion – in terms of additional staff, increased revenues and innovative new services.

IT Skillfinder is experiencing continued success despite the economic downturn, and for the financial year ending March 09 our turnover increased 27% to £8 million whilst our net profit before tax increased by 20%. These figures are very encouraging and reflect the ongoing hard work and dedication displayed by our staff to overcome the current difficult trading environment. We are also proud of the fact that unlike many of our competitors, we have not released any staff over the last 12 months, and our extremely low staff turnover is testament to the efforts made to train, motivate, incentivise and retain staff in a fun and rewarding work environment.
