At Capita ITR I focused specifically within Open Source Technologies for Software Houses and Media Agencies across the UK but specialising in the North of England. The technologies I specialised in, but were across the full stack of web, software and mobile development. Capita ITR falls directly under the Capita PLC brand.

Manchester, United Kingdom

During my time at Premier Recruitment I focused specifically within Open Source technologies in IT Development around the North of the UK. During my two years within the Premier IT brand, I was able to successfully place over 40 Candidates in new roles within Software Houses and Media Agencies. 90% of these placements were with new clients that I won from developing new relationships. I successfully placed candidates in roles across the full stack of web, software and mobile development. Premier Group Recruitment is a heavily KPI driven environment and forced me to learn things by a sink-or-swim approach. The lessons I learnt here have helped me become a solid consultant in my marketplace and gave me a great understanding in both the IT Development and Recruitment industry. I greatly value my time at Premier and enjoyed the experiences that came along with it as I feel it has set me up for a long and successful career in the industry.
