itk Recruitment Story
itk Recruitment was born on the back of a vision to simplify recruitment for both the candidate and client, after years of seeing how recruitment should and shouldn’t be done. itk Recruitment takes all the great things from the larger recruitment companies and leaves behind the corporate barriers and red tape, opening the doors to offer a flexible solution which can be tailored to fit in with clients’ and candidates’ busy lives – and ever decreasing budget.
