Attract local tech talent

Sheffield’s tech sector has flourished over the past decade, employing 15,000 professionals across 1,000 companies, including renowned names like WANdisco and ITM Power. With a population of 600,000, Sheffield’s collaborative community has attracted global giants like Boeing, intensifying competition for tech talent in a relatively small talent pool. Our Sheffield IT recruitment agency specialises in connecting businesses in South Yorkshire with the right people.

Working together to overcome IT recruitment challenges in Sheffield

Talent competition

Larger UK cities, such as London or Manchester, offer bigger talent pools, more opportunities, and higher concentrations of digital companies, making Sheffield a less competitive option for candidates.

Skills shortages

The availability of highly skilled digital professionals in Sheffield is limited, leading to an wider skills gap. While this is an issue everywhere in the UK, it’s more pronounced in Sheffield.

Opportunity perception

Perceptions of limited opportunities and career growth, along with narrower industry diversity, make attracting talent in Sheffield harder for local employers.
