I've never had so much communication with a recruitment agency before! At no point did I feel forgotten about. Tom assisted with setting up appointments, was always quick to reply, and helped me feel confident about the prospect instead of the usual anxiety that usually comes from waiting for a response!

Significant Issues

I would strongly advise those working in software engineering to avoid this recruitment agency. They ask personal questions which are none of their business. For example, if you find a role in another region of the UK that you are interested in, they will demand an explanation why you want to live there. Fancy a change in your life by moving somewhere new that you've always heard good things about? In the words of one of the staff members at this recruitment agency: "that is not a reasonable answer". The employer they were representing were equally strange, having the same line of questioning – very bizarre. The strangest and rudest encounter I have had with a recruitment agency in my life – and I have worked in software engineering for over 15 years. If you find an engineering role being advertised by Spectrum IT, it's probably not an employer you want to be working for.

Spectrum have been amazing since reaching out to me with a Head of IT opportunity. They have managed all communications between the organisation and myself, kept me updated on the situations. Their preparation techniques were super helpful and assisted me in securing the opportunity. Even thereafter, they have been caring to ensure everything moves along smoothly. Thank you so much to Spectrum IT.

It was great having Tom Rayner at Spectrum IT Recruitment as my contact for a Data Analyst role. He handled communication between me, him and the company very well. Provided me with feedback quickly and ensured I was always prepared for the next stage of the process.

Shout out to the Spectrum IT team. They just placed me on a new position for the second time. Always following up, keeping you up to date with status updates about your applications and most importantly not ghosting you as many agencies do now days. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for an IT role and struggling with today’s job market challenges.

Nick Trussler at Spectrum IT was outstanding from start to finish. The whole process felt smooth, clear, and genuinely supportive, which made a huge difference at every stage. Nick communicated brilliantly, kept me informed, gave helpful guidance, and really fought my corner throughout. Thanks to his support I secured a role I’m genuinely excited about. If you’re job hunting and want someone who’s proactive, honest, and has your best interests at heart, I can’t recommend Nick and Spectrum IT highly enough.
