There are a number of ways that NJC Talent typically finds candidates for IT positions. These can include:

On top of the same, we maintain our curated list of candidates for specific roles our clients may require based on their technology stack. This curated pool aligned with the customer technology stack and budget reduces the recruitment time significantly.
Candidate referrals:
NJC Talent encourages our consultant pool to refer qualified candidates for open positions, including IT positions. This can be a good way to find talented candidates who may not be actively looking for a new job but who might be interested in an opportunity if it was brought to their attention.
Hiring from the referral pool requires a significant amount of one-to-one interaction, generally long-term, and NJC Talent recruiters do this on behalf of the customer to absorb rock-star candidates.
Recruitment agencies:
NJC Talent can use selected specialised recruitment agencies to find candidates for IT positions. These agencies can use their own networks and resources to locate and recruit suitable candidates. NJC uses its approved list of vendors and agencies, when a requirement spike occurs from customers, for instance, large-scale recruitment for a new office.
