Your Global Recruitment Partner for Java Jobs

I worked with both Tom and James while recruiting for both Java and Python roles. Both worked very hard in getting us a constant stream of great candidates that matched our needs. Handling of the interview process was a huge help, from arranging interviews to keeping the candidate engaged throughout the process. Their proactive communication and attention to detail ensured that we were enabling us to onboard top talent who have already made a significant impact on our projects. Tom especially helped us recruit a large of high quality and great fit candidates in a very short period time allowing us to deliver a new project that otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to.

In today's technical market small businesses like ours have a lot of choice when it comes to working with recruitment agencies. Having said that, the market for trusted recruitment partners that you can work with long term is considerably smaller. Charlotte and the team worked with us to understand the type of team we are building and the factors that are important to us. Beyond this they worked hard to provide valuable insights away from just introducing candidates that gave us a real view of the market we were working in. We won't hesitate to partner with Charlotte again going forward!

Ellis Jolly Talent Partner - Adarga

I've worked with Charlotte for 2 and a half years, who has helped me grow my engineering department from a mere handful of developers to over 250 engineers. Whilst she and her company are not responsible for all that growth, they were significant for a good part of it. It has been a pleasure working with Charlotte. She is considerate and dedicated to finding the very best java developers on the street. She works hard for us as her client and she doesn't do the hard sell and never delivers like the majority of recruitment agencies out there. She doesn't need to sell as her team's results speak for themselves.

Charlotte is probably the best agent on the LDN market! After one call, she completely understood the brief of what hires I needed help with and delivered in record time. She really cares about getting the right person for the role and not just making a placement which makes me trust her services even more. If you are a Java house and need to scale your teams, you will never look back.

Rebecca Jennings Lead Technical Recruiter - Tarabut Gateway

We have worked with James, Charlotte and their team for the better part of two years, during a time when we were dramatically scaling our operations in London. They played an instrumental role in helping us to hire a significant number of technical people, including Java Developers, SDET’s, React Developers, DevOps Engineers, Product Managers and a few others. The communication and collaboration with their team has further enabled a very fruitful relationship, and it’s fair to say that we have found a strategic ally in Understanding Recruitment.

Steve Taylor Lead Recruitment - Global Relay

Talent search is an essential part of any growing business. But beware, there are a lot of sharks out there looking to take a bite out of employers and job seekers alike. For me hiring is an ever-constant activity. I find the secret of success is building strong, long-term relationships with a few reputable agents whom I can trust. James is one of those. He is professional, discrete, dependable, focused and efficient. He has been helping me recruit top developers since 2015. James is always worth calling first whether you are hiring or looking for new job opportunities.

Understanding Recruitment are not your typical agency as they really do put in the extra effort to understand your requirements, technical and from a business perspective. Chris and James were a pleasure to deal with and worked hard to find us the right person for the role.
