TECHNOLOGY, CHANGE & TRANSFORMATION SECTOR

This is such a wide-ranging sector with so many specialisms, we believe it’s hugely important that our Consultants know their stuff. Not just recruitment, but the sector they’re recruiting into. It’s something we put a lot of time, money and training in to getting right. We combine this with the latest recruitment tools to match talent with opportunities across IT Support, Infrastructure & Networks, Applications support, Software Development, DevOps, Cloud, Testing and Architecture.

He kept me fully updated during the interview process, which i'm please to say concluded with me being appointed.

Martyn has over the last 16 years provided a personal service, based upon my requirements and skill sets. He is always willing to listen and understand the feedback of prospective clients/employers and this enables him to narrow his search to facilitate a successful outcome. I thoroughly recommend Martyn as he is one of the few I trust in his industry sector and I look forward to a continued developing relationship.

Christopher Rumble - Transformation & Rescue Programme Manager

I have worked with Talent Locker for many years. They are highly dependable, thorough, always understand the way in which a business works before engaging and do not bombard you as the client with unnecessary chase-up’s when you are in the midst of making key decisions. Talent Locker are very refreshing in an industry that can lead to business and individual frustrations.

JON BANCE - GLOBAL IT & DIGITAL DIRECTOR

Mark's proficiency in understanding the requirement was crystal clear. His technical and functional knowledge is so comprehensive that he could discuss and understand my recent project. His approach to keep the communication transparent and detailed makes him stand out from all the other agencies i have dealt recently. I would highly recommend him to those looking for their next move.
