IT Project Management

We support every aspect of IT programme and project management, placing candidates into positions including IT Project Managers, Programme Managers, Digital Project Coordinators, and Technical Project Leads.

With IT programmes often requiring a mix of permanent heads, leadership, and contractors with specialist niche skillsets, we deliver across permanent, interim and contract requirements.

We work with clients across a range of industries, from e-commerce, retail and legal to hospitality, telecommunications and the public sector.

Our recruitment team will always take the time to understand industry-specific challenges, utilising their knowledge of the IT market to ensure you secure the right IT programme and project management talent for your business.

When assessing candidates, our focus is always on understanding their real-world experiences and proven delivery. We look for IT project and programme management professionals who have delivered in difficult conditions and environments – legacy systems, complex tech stacks, demanding stakeholders, and regulatory pressures.

We seek to understand your tech, governance, and culture, to ensure we introduce candidates who will be able get to grips fast, stabilise delivery, and drive results.

For permanent project and programme management recruitment, we typically average around 18 working days from CV shortlist presentation to offer acceptance. Timeframes can be shorter for readily available skill sets, particularly for experienced project managers, PMO professionals, and delivery specialists. More senior or specialised appointments, such as programme managers, transformation directors, or candidates with niche sector expertise, may require additional time to secure the right fit.

Contract project and programme management recruitment timelines vary depending on the level of experience, sector knowledge, and complexity of the assignment. For urgent requirements, we have successfully sourced and deployed contract project managers and programme managers within 24 hours. On average, however, we can facilitate 24–48-hour turnarounds from contract offer to onboarding when required.

While there is plenty of project management talent available on the market, experienced project managers with particular project and sector experience continue to be in demand, which can create competition.

For senior programme management and transformation leadership roles, identifying candidates with a proven track record of delivering large-scale, complex change initiatives can significantly narrow the talent pool.

One of the biggest recruitment challenges is assessing a candidate’s ability to deliver successful outcomes, as project management expertise extends far beyond qualifications and certifications.

As a specialist project management recruitment agency, we assist organisations in overcoming these challenges by utilising our extensive network of passive and active project and programme management professionals and thoroughly assessing candidates’ delivery experience.

We stay close to the IT project management market by constantly engaging with project managers, programme leads and PMO professionals, as well as keeping track of industry developments, hiring trends and skills demands. This enables us to provide up to date project management recruitment guidance and market knowledge to clients and candidates.
