Our journey into European IT recruitment began when existing clients increasingly sought our support in sourcing talent beyond national borders. In response, we successfully expanded our services across Europe, with early and sustained success in the Netherlands, Germany, and particularly Portugal.
Portuguese recruitment has since become a key area of focus for Spectrum IT, where we have developed strong local market knowledge and access to highly skilled, multilingual IT professionals. By combining our extensive European network, in-depth industry insight, and proven recruitment methodologies, we ensure our clients consistently secure the best IT talent - wherever they are based.
While representing Spectrum IT when recruiting for another company, Paul demonstrated professionalism by being transparent, objective and doing regular follow ups. While he was not alone on his task, the process was handed between him and another colleague without any issues or gaps. It was a truly smooth experience, as it should be with recruiting, enough to pass on as a positive reference. Thanks Paul and all colleagues involved.
It was an absolute pleasure working with Ryan from Spectrum IT Recruitment. From the very beginning, he was clear and transparent about the job opportunity and incredibly friendly throughout the entire interview process. He regularly checked in to see how things were going, even calling before key stages to wish me luck. When I received the offer, he continued to stay in touch, even months after I started the role. I’m truly grateful for the support and personal touch, a big thank you to Spectrum IT Recruitment and especially to Ryan!
I had the pleasure of working with Amy during the recruitment process, and It was one of most professional and dedicated recruiters I’ve encountered. I was not looking for a job, but from our first conversation, she took the time to explain me the opportunity and understand not just my resume, but my goals and strengths. Amy communicated clearly and consistently, kept me updated every step of the way, and provided helpful insights that made the interview process smoother and more productive. Thanks to Amy support, I landed a role that aligns perfectly with my career goals. I highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for a recruiter who truly cares and is always there for you.
Of all recruitment agencies we worked with in Portugal, Spectrum IT Recruitment (Ryan) was the fastest and delivered the most CV's that led to multiple great new colleagues
We've worked with Spectrum IT Recruitment on multiple software hires across both the UK and Porto, and the support has been excellent throughout. Amy, in particular, has been a fantastic partner - responsive, knowledgeable, and consistently able to deliver strong candidates who align well with our needs. Highly recommended.
