WelcomeWhen we say our people are the key to our success, we really do mean it. This is why we work so hard to �nd the right people for our business, and why we are so passionate about helping every individual reach their potential with us. For the people who work here, recruitment is not a job, nor is it just a career. It really is a passion, and it is a passion we aim to reward.

This desire to reach our potential has led to a huge investment in our technology, training, commission, career and professional plans of our sta�. With the level of engagement we have for our business it has meant that our growth remains at an amazing level and we are delighted that it has all been done within the culture and values that are so important for us.

We �ll any IT seat. But what exactly does that mean?

If there’s one thing that businesses in every industry need, it’s talented IT sta�. This is where we come in. We’ve clocked up 14 years of experience as a specialist IT & digital recruiter, meaning we know our stu�.

Our recruitment �oor is split into teams, dedicated to sourcing the best talent from the Networking & Infrastructure, Development, Project Management & Change Support worlds. Our unique relationship with Just IT Training and Apprenticeships gives us exclusive access to a unique talent pool of quali�ed candidates and alumni looking for their next career move.

From entry-level to senior roles up to £120k, permanent to contract, we’ve got it covered.

Just how did IT all start?

In 2002 Just IT Recruitment was set up to compliment the o�ering of Just IT Training by taking the training candidates into the workplace.

Both companies have subsequently grown and diversi�ed, with Just IT Training becoming one of the biggest providers of training and apprenticeships in London.

Over the last 2 years, the Just IT Recruitment business has grown 3 new divisions, and is about to launch another one. It has quadrupled its sta� headcount, grown sales by 40% annually and has become a market leader in training and developing our sta�.

Our focus is to maintain our creativity and innovation in providing solutions for our customers through the development of a culture and values that ensures our people are given the freedom to make decisions that best suit the market they work in.

We are delighted that this innovative approach has been recognised by Great Place To Work awards for both Best Workplace and Excellence in Leadership

And now for the cheesy bit: for candidates and clients alike, our philosophy is the same.

Everyone at Just IT is dedicated to Making IT Happen.

Lee DempsterChief Operating O�cer

Our Mission Statement

“To grow a pro�table, self-sustaining and creative recruitment business that is passionate and prepared to take risks.

We will be innovative in �nding the right solutions for our customers, employees and community.”

Let’s Talk Culture A great company is nothing without a great culture. Our dedication to making ours the best it can be sets us apart from other workplaces.

Whether it’s our Tuesday morning alfresco meetings, famous bake-o� competitions or beers in the o�ce on a Friday afternoon, we like to banish the monotony that can strike in o�ce environments and challenge ourselves to think of new, better, ways to work.

Even more importantly, we’ve built an environment in which our people feel comfortable suggesting innovations and voicing their ideas directly to senior management and our CEO.

Our focus is our people. We hire interesting, driven and happy people who want to contribute and engage with our company values. That's the secret to our success.

Want proof? Just talk to our sta�. They gave us a 95% positivity rating in the independent Best Workplaces survey, with 100% of people in our regular internal survey saying they were happy or very happy at Just IT Recruitment.

My role at Just IT Recruitment is to hire, train and performance manage our sta�. This includes working closely with new starters to make sure they are given all the support and training they need to succeed in their �rst few months.

As a business, our goal is to attract, develop and retain the best people and provide a career to all those who share our values, culture and desire for excellence. It is my job and passion to make this goal a reality for the people who work here.

This means we are committed to investing in learning and development so our people can achieve their personal and professional goals. We provide structured 20 modular training, Friday “Brown bag” training sessions, one to one coaching as well as the opportunity to study for professional recruitment quali�cations.

Performing above expectation will lead to succession planning, whether that be progressing into a Senior Consultant, Team Leader, Recruitment Manager, Associate Director, Operations Director or even Managing Director.

If you put in the work, we truly believe that there are no limits to what you can achieve.

I started my Just IT career over on the Apprenticeships team, but when I reached a point where I was too comfortable with what I was doing I knew I needed a new challenge. The hard bit was leaving my team, but luckily I only moved down the corridor. During the change over to Recruitment I was constantly supported and it felt like a natural progression. Lee recognised that I'd be good for the Senior Development team and now a year on I'm about to take the next step up to Team Leader.

In recruitment it's important that you strive to be the best you can be, if you don't you'll get left behind. Here we're encouraged to chase our own progression. You can move up the ranks if you have the drive. I like that there's no set timelines for promotion, no one says 'in six months you can do this', you just put in your all and the responsibility and rewards naturally �ow. You build a career development plan with your manager and it's very much in your hands - you're encouraged to voice when you think you're ready for the next step.

I de�nitely feel rewarded for my work. If you’re ready to perform and hit your targets you’ll be treated with a high level of respect here. This isn’t a company for people who want to sit at their desk and twiddle their thumbs.

We work hard and we’re rewarded for that. We celebrate our successes as often as we can – being taken out for lunch or even to industry award ceremonies.

The smaller, fun, rewards start straight away. There’s always a buzz on Fridays with beers in the o�ce, and quarterly events are paid for by the company. We’ll often nip to the pub for a celebratory drink, and I’ve clocked up a collection of about 8 champagne bottles that I’ve been given for various achievements.

Of course there are targets to hit, but you set them with your manager so they’re realistic and achievable. My role has continuously progressed, and I've felt consistently rewarded at every step of the way. When I started at Just IT I had never worked in Sales before. With the support I have been given I am now consistently the top billing consultant in the company.

Employee Bene�ts

We are a company which celebrates hardwork and success. so if you have the drive you’ll start reaping the rewards in no time. As well as uncapped commission, there are a host of other prizes available including; champagne on your �rst placement or any 10k week, top biller and ‘most valuable person’ quarterly lunches, and weekly competition and performance prizes.

We’ve also worked hard on our bene�ts package to create a fair system that has a something for everyone.

Here is just a sample.

- Keep yourself �t and healthy with 50% o� gym membership- Shape the company’s social and charity initiatives by joining ‘The Network’- Go on company-supported quarterly social events and adventures- Boost your professional development with funded external training courses- Make a di�erence with paid days o� to support charities or half days to give blood- Interest-free season-ticket travel loan- Sco� free fruit and drinks, with beers on your desk on Fridays- Pension scheme, private healthcare and eye-care vouchers

There’s plenty of other perks you’ll take advantage of as we continue to develop our bene�ts and reward packages around our team.

The key to enjoying your job is having a laugh where you work, and we de�nitely have some good banter. At other jobs I’ve found it gets to the end of the day and you just want to escape and go home, but here you �nd that you want to spend time with your colleagues after a day at work.

The company is generous when it comes to the social side. At the end of each month we celebrate our hard work, whether that’s just a trip to the pub or something a bit more hands on. Quarterly we’ll do something bigger, like Ping Pong tournaments or summer boat parties paid for by the company. These events are great because you get to socialise with people from across the business that you don't see on a day to day basis.

It’s not all about the drinking though, we’ll go out for lunch as a team or even to things like paintball. Everyone's sociable and friendly, so it's easy to �t in. We have a laugh here. A sense of humour goes a long way. To �t in you need to be open to making new friends. We certainly have a mix of personalities and that's why we work so well. It doesn’t matter how weird and wonderful you are, you will be accepted.

Getting Social

From paintball to picnics, we like to get social as often as we can. There’s always a buzz in the o�ce and on Fridays (and many other days) there is usually something going on after work - whether a weekday trip to the gym, drinks out, or one of our many scheduled events like our charity poker nights. Quarterly we descend upon an external venue to enjoy a company presentation like no other. We’re talking treats, surprises and a hilarious celebration of the quarter’s accomplishments.

If �tness is more your thing, then you can don our kit and join the Just IT football team. Not into footie? We're always open to starting new sports clubs and initiatives. Whether it's a big or small win, we celebrate our successes in style, and know that the key to any thriving company is happy sta�.
