Who we are

William-Arthur was launched as a strategic IT recruitment consultancy in order to provide a new approach to delivery which is not just one-off transactional recruitment.

For clients our service is totally driven by your overall business strategy and growth plans. We know the challenges companies face to find the best talent and once you expand, the challenge of developing teams that are engaged, satisfied and motivated. For candidates we work with your goals and aspirations to find you a company that enables you to grow and develop.

Successful recruitment is based upon true understanding. An understanding of the business culture, values and candidate goals to enable your teams to perform at their best in achieving your business strategy. At William-Arthur we believe if you don’t understand the issue you shouldn’t be fixing it. Call it professional bias, but we believe that only experienced industry professionals are able to understand the complexity of an IT business.

The William-Arthur team reflects this, containing over 60 years of experience in IT.  From our time on the coalface we’ve seen how poor recruitment decisions can severely affect business, so we have decided to approach recruitment in a different way.

Our teams are remunerated based upon client retention and engagement rather than volume.  We don’t like the idea of salespeople being incentivised to just fill vacancies – our business is aligned to our clients and candidates alike and we prefer to take a longer-term view.
