Our Talent Pool
Since 2008, we have built an extensive network of software and technology professionals, creating a highly relevant candidate database that spans across Europe, with particular strength in Portugal. This enables us to present a strong selection of skilled candidates for every vacancy, covering all levels from graduate and mid-level roles through to senior and leadership positions.
We pride ourselves on the quality of both our candidates and our specialist consultants, taking a personal, consultative approach that has allowed us to build trusted, long-term relationships with IT businesses. Alongside our recruitment services, we offer a range of additional support to streamline the hiring process and provide expert advice and guidance, informed by our in-depth knowledge of the technology sector.
How We Work
We do recruitment differently from other agencies, and that approach is how we achieve excellent results. We provide a seamless, end-to-end service from first contact through to ongoing aftercare.
By engaging with your company on a personal level, preferably face to face, we can understand your business, your ethos and your team. We will assign the right Consultant with the experience and specialist knowledge of your industry and the role you are recruiting for, to give you access to the best possible candidates.
An in-house database of IT contract and permanent candidates, and long-term partnerships with online IT job boards provides us with unrivalled sourcing capabilities. Our unique engagement with local user groups and developer events means that we attract skilled candidates of all levels. We actively search for exceptional talent so that we can present you with a selection of relevant high calibre candidates that meet your needs.
We will work with you to arrange interviews with your chosen candidates at a time that suits you. With our additional value-added services; technical testing, job profiling and salary benchmarking, we can also help to screen potential candidates and negotiate offers to find the right fit for your business.
We’ll help get candidates ready to start their exciting new role, including sourcing ID checks and references. We’ll check that you are happy with your new employee, and your assigned Account Manager will be available for your on-going recruitment needs whenever you need them.
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.
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.
