Recent Success Story:
JP was working with a client on a short-term IT upgrade project to support their move to hybrid working. The challenge? They needed multiple skilled professionals quickly — a Service Desk Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer, Network Engineer, and IT Manager. JP placed all four on 8-week temporary contracts. The candidates quickly proved themselves, the client loved their work, and everyone was keen to extend the arrangements. Over time, the assignments were extended multiple times, and eventually all four candidates were offered permanent positions. For the candidates, it meant a chance to get to know the organisation and plan a long-term career with confidence. For the client, it ensured they secured proven, dedicated IT professionals who could make an immediate impact. A win all round.
