The Role

We're looking for a high-performing IT Recruitment Researcher / Resourcer who knows how to find top-tier contract talent—fast.

This is a hands-on delivery role, focused on sourcing, engaging, and placing high-quality IT contractors across multiple domains.

  Freelance recruiters or those seeking fully remote / flexible side work
• 
  Individuals who have run their own agencies or large teams and are looking for a temporary role
• 
  Candidates looking to step away from hands-on delivery
• 
  Recruiters who rely purely on job boards or inbound applications
