The IT job hunt has become more complex over the last decade as the Internet has expanded exponentially. Graduates and experienced professionals alike need to navigate through job sites, industry forums, and virtual job fairs in order to find enough job listings to land a few interviews. As well, the increased access to computing technology around the world has meant that in markets like the United Kingdom there are applications from the United States, Canada, and Asia, among other places.

Instead of constantly wading through the various sites on the Internet, savvy IT graduates are turning to recruitment companies. Recruiters have been working for years to set up talented professionals of all experience levels with their ideal job. IT recruiters have opened their doors all over the UK over the last decade to meet the demand for quality IT professionals. This growth in the IT recruiting field has meant that there is increased competition for the most talented and exceptional IT professionals in the job market.

IT professionals need to understand how to find the best IT recruitment company for their needs. Indeed, recruiting companies are not always able to meet the needs of all of their recruits. A few criteria can help a confused IT graduate find the right recruitment company to find their dream job.

Graduates should expect their recruitment company to provide a variety of services. Some recruiting companies provide limited professional development and one-on-one coaching while others provide regular seminars and courses on skills needed in the IT field. While a recruiting company does not need to provide exhaustive courses on everything in the IT field, graduates should expect a certain level of service to help them get acclimated to the workplace.

As well, IT graduates should expect their recruiting firm to have a certain cache with players in the IT field. A graduate may not think to look at the portfolio of an IT recruiter but the list of corporate clients says a lot about the confidence of IT companies in a particular recruiting agency. Graduates who see some major IT names in a recruiting portfolio can feel secure about the types of jobs they are in the running for.

IT recruitment companies should not be entirely judged by their cover. IT graduates should speak with a service representative or recruiter before writing off a company. The human touch is an important part of the IT recruiting process and it can be the deciding factor in finding the right recruiting firm for an individual's professional needs.
