Connecting Your Business with Top Tech Talent in the UK
Finding talent who are not only technically skilled but also align with your company’s culture is key to long-term success. In the tech sector, the success of any organisation can also often be determined by the strength of its people. Finding the right talent to join your team is no longer about filling a role – it’s about aligning technical expertise, values, and culture.
At Corecom Consulting, we specialise in building extensive networks of exceptional tech talent to bridge the gap between top-tier professionals and businesses in need of talent that can drive real growth and results for your business.
In this article, we’ve brought together insights from our Senior Consultants and Associate Directors, who share their strategies for ensuring we find the perfect talent for our clients. Read on to discover how we approach talent acquisition, the key factors we consider, and how our methods can help you build a team that drives success.
Q: How do we ensure tech talent are the perfect fit for our clients?
At Corecom Consulting, we ensure senior tech professionals are the perfect fit for our clients by conducting in-depth technical assessments, understanding your unique business needs, and evaluating cultural compatibility. Our approach goes beyond just skills; we focus on finding those who align with your team’s values and objectives, ensuring a seamless integration and long-term success.
In a recent interview, our Associate Director and Head of Permanent Practice, Lewis Horwell, shared his experience working with a client looking for a new Developer. “We normally have two or three calls with the developers before they actually go forward to the clients. During this time, we’ll have a conversation with the potential candidate about what drives them and previous work experience, just to make sure that not only are they the right fit for clients, but the clients are a good fit for them. We really pride ourselves on the fact that we only send candidates forward for roles that are suitable from both sides”.
Q: How does Corecom Consulting find the right technical fit for client needs?
At Corecom Consulting, identifying the right technical fit goes beyond reviewing CVs. Our team takes a personalised approach, thoroughly vetting candidates to ensure they align not only with the technical requirements but also with the values and goals of our clients. Here’s how our consultants tackle this process.
Senior Recruitment Consultant, Jamie Harvey, said, “I spend a lot of time speaking to a lot of developers in my network from qualification stage right through to actually sending the CV. So I do very much a deep dive, speaking to people in their network, getting references from their previous colleagues or managers to understand if they’re suitable for the role“.
Principal Consultant, Jenny Saban, said, “The technical expertise is important, but I think really getting to grips with what your candidates’ needs, expectations, ambitions are equally as important, and doing the same with your clients. For example, what are their priorities, what are their non-negotiables, what’s their culture like, what works for them and what doesn’t?”.
Q: How can businesses avoid wasting time, money, and resources on mis-hires?
While ‘perfect’ tech candidates are rare, using the right recruitment methods can significantly reduce the chances (and costs) of a mis-hire. Our Senior Consultant in the .NET field, Jack West, shares his expert views on balancing fast hires with high-quality tech talent below.
“Having a clear and outlined plan with the client before we proceed with any candidate hire is an essential part of our process. We will get in touch to really understand what they’re going to be looking for and put a plan out in place from start to finish to be able to conduct the hire. I understand hiring processes can be quite tedious, but what’s most important is being able to get a new hire first time around and avoid the cost of a mis-hire”.
This is where we come in. Our team at Corecom Consulting guides businesses through the entire recruitment process, from initial search to offer date. We manage expectations and work closely with both clients and candidates to ensure alignment and reach a successful agreement.

I have seen the challenges that people with protected characteristics face and I’d like to be a part of the population that is fighting for change. I have personally seen benefits from growing up within a diverse friendship group and around a family from different culture backgrounds. I want to encourage people to celebrate people’s differences and to take the opportunity to learn about others and accept them for who they are just as they would like to be accepted themselves.
