IT Recruitment Cheshire
We specialise in connecting top talent with exciting opportunities in the United Kingdom, Europe and the US
Our team of expert IT recruitment consultants has been proud to call Cheshire home since 2004. The North-West England county is known for its vibrant tech business community, and there are numerous opportunities for digital and marketing roles in Cheshire.
While Manchester is still the prominent digital hub in the area, Cheshire and its neighbouring cities Crewe, Knutsford, Warrington, Macclesfield or Wilmslow offer attractive opportunities for professionals seeking digital and IT roles. There’s a growing demand for digital professionals in Pharmaceutical and SciTech, FinTech, manufacturing and engineering, Energy, Food technology or E-Commerce in Cheshire. Many Digital Agencies have chosen Chester and other central locations in Cheshire as their home, too.
Challenges of IT Recruitment in Cheshire
Understanding the biggest talent challenges is crucial for companies in Cheshire looking to attract top candidates to drive growth and success in a competitive jobs market.
Cheshire’s proximity to major cities like Manchester and Liverpool means significant competition for digital talent exists. Larger towns often attract a higher concentration of businesses and agencies, offering more job opportunities and potentially higher salaries, making it challenging for local companies to compete.
The rapid growth of digital technologies and the demand for specialist skills create skill shortages in the local job market. Finding qualified candidates with the right blend of technical expertise and digital marketing acumen can be challenging, especially in data analytics, SEO, and digital marketing.
While Cheshire benefits from being close to major cities, this proximity is also a disadvantage for some job seekers who prefer to live in the urban centres. Connectivity and commuting options may influence a candidate’s decision to work in Cheshire, especially if they can find more competitive opportunities in larger nearby cities.
Larger cities like Manchester and Birmingham have a higher concentration of digital agencies, tech startups, and marketing firms, providing a more extensive job market with diverse opportunities.
Cheshire faces challenges in retaining digital talent due to the allure of bigger cities with a broader range of lifestyle and career options.
