About First for Recruitment – Why Choose Us?

First for Recruitment is a trusted IT recruitment agency, offering expert services to UK companies in need of talented staff and candidates seeking opportunities in IT, Engineering, Business, and Financial Management. Whether you're a company with specialist openings or a job seeker looking for your next move, we can help.

Our experienced consultants specialise across various high-tech and financial sectors, giving us access to a broad pool of highly skilled professionals. We meticulously vet all CVs to ensure we match the most qualified candidates with your company's needs. Once a match is identified, we communicate openly with both parties, ensuring transparency and clarity throughout the process. We only present candidates whose skills and experience closely align with the job requirements, leaving the final decision to the employer.

Why Use First for Recruitment?

Our recruitment fees are among the lowest in the industry. Unlike most IT agencies that charge 20-30%, we offer a one-time placement fee of just 12% of the hiring salary, payable only if the candidate is successfully placed and employed for over five weeks. We’re currently running a special promotion throughout January 2026, offering our 12% placement fee for all UK companies advertising roles in Engineering, Fintech, IT, and Business Management.
