Our Specialisms

Proudly Birmingham and Southampton Based
Founded in 2014 in Birmingham, we’ve always taken pride in building long-standing relationships within the UK technology community, combining strong regional networks with a broad understanding of the evolving tech market.
Our Birmingham IT recruitment agency services have grown through a collaborative approach built on trust, transparency, and genuine partnerships. In 2018, as demand grew nationwide, we expanded into Hampshire and established our Southampton presence, quickly becoming one of the most well-known IT recruitment agencies in Southampton, while continuing to work with businesses and professionals on IT jobs across the UK.
We believe strong partnership-led collaboration comes from understanding the goals and motivations behind every business and career move. Regardless of size, location, or aim, we take a long-term approach focused on getting it right, rather than simply delivering a service.
Serving Locations Across the UK
Blending solution-driven thinking with deep UK IT recruitment expertise, we leverage our extensive sector reach and connections to access pools of passive and niche IT talent for our growing network of public sector, enterprise, and SME clients.
By prioritising speed, budget, communication, transparency, and most importantly, quality, we ensure our clients’ needs and expectations are exceeded wherever they are based.

A very good experience working with Mike McEvoy and the VIQU IT team right from the start. All the contract details were done with ease on their website which made the whole process of setting up and getting started straight forward. Probably the best I have experienced in my ten years as an IT contractor.
