What Our Clients and Candidates’ Say About Us
“I have worked with Amanda and Code IT regularly over the past 2 years and been incredibly impressed with their expertise in meeting business requirements and sourcing the right candidates, often at very short notice. Amanda’s understanding of the employment landscape and current climate is excellent, and she has provided valuable advice. Above all I have found Code IT to be open and honest, and they have always acted with the utmost professionalism and integrity.”
James Heaton-Smith – Bank of England
“Amanda has been my go-to recruiter since we met in 2013. She has an eye for detail and has spent the time understanding me so that she only puts forward candidates that she knows will be a cultural fit and meet my expectations and professional values.
While I recruited a permanent team of 22, Amanda and the team recruited 3 of 4 managers on my team as well as various other PM, Analyst and Developer roles. Highly recommended.”
Rob Curtis – Prudential
“I’ve worked with Amanda and her team for the past 8 years. During that time, I have always found Amanda and her team to be extremely professional – from the initial meeting to discuss requirements, through the production of a suitable job spec, through to the screening process for candidates. As interviews progress, Amanda is very responsive to any feedback provided on the candidates and has always been flexible if we tweaked our requirements during the search process. The quality of candidates put forward has always been excellent and the turnaround time on finding suitable candidates has always been quick. Amanda always comes with a smile and is a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Amanda and Code iT if you are looking for development and test resources.”

“I worked with Amanda at Citi where she placed a large team of contractors. She and her company demonstrated great professionalism, ability to actually understand our demands, find good candidates and make the sourcing process as easy as possible.

“I’ve worked with Amanda multiple times, when I was recruiting at DIIG, when I was looking for an opportunity after Cabot, and at Collinsons. Amanda is the most approachable recruitment consultant I’ve worked with. She is very professional and dedicated and at the same time is very open and warm. She understands the importance of communication and is very good at keeping you updated on the status/progress of events whether she is placing you or recruiting for you. I highly recommend Amanda as a recruitment consultant.”

Del. Technical Solutions Consultant DS Smith
“My experience with Code IT has been nothing short of professionalism and excellence. It is probably the most supportive agency I have worked with in my entire career. From Rupert who carried me along from initial contact to keeping me informed every step of the way till I secured the interview and the support and preparation he gave me through the interview stages, to Terry who has been extremely supportive. Even when the onboarding was taking a bit of time through no fault of Code IT, Rupert and Terry would keep me in the loop and check on me, always reassuring me. Payroll / processing has been flawless. Code IT is the first agency that endeavours to pay over the weekend and not make you wait till the next working day after pay day when it falls on a weekend. Both Terry and Rupert who I deal with are very easy to reach, even at odd hours, they respond. I will certainly work with Code IT for as long as the opportunity presents itself.”
Victor. Business Analyst. The FCA
“I first started working with Code iT in 2013. Since that time, they have secured almost 8 years duration of contracting assignments for me. I have appreciated the preparation they put into the selection process, ensuring that as a candidate I am fully prepared for the interview by sharing insights that my own personal preparation cannot provide. They are always one step ahead, when it comes to providing updates with the onboarding process. With regard to contract extensions, they provide peace of mind as I know that they are always one step ahead of any deadlines. Help is always on hand, and they can be trusted to always get back to and keep me updated. Payments are always on time, and administration of timesheets are processed without hassle.“
Sharon. Business Change Executive. The FCA
“I received offers from two organisations at the same time and a big factor in accepting this offer was the exceptional service provided by Code iT in the interview and offer process. There’s integrity and respect in their approach that I feel has been shown in all interactions, from initial contact through to payments and contract renewal. I’m extremely happy to be working with Code iT.”
Donna. Business Analyst. The FCA
“I have been an IT contractor for over 20 years, and I can happily say that Code iT has been one of the best IT recruitment agencies I have worked with. Right from the first contact, then the interview, the onboarding, and the start day details, they have, been professional, organised, informative and helpful with excellent customer service. They are exceptionally prompt with paying the invoices and are always reachable for any queries. that may arise. A big thank you to all the team at Code iT.”
Nasir. Support Engineer. No 10 Downing Street
“Over the course of time since I have been working in Glasgow (17th January) for OFGEM I have found Code IT to be excellent. Their interview was professional, kept me updated on the process, and was available any time I reached out to them for any reason. I’m grateful that had successfully secured me a position within Ofgem and their tireless dedication in doing so, I have been equally impressed with Terry, any time I’ve had any issues it’s swiftly correctly and without fuss. Code IT have paid me promptly every month without effort and I can’t thank them enough for as I have worked for agencies before where this has been a problem but not them. Code iT has been professional, courteous, and friendly and I would recommend them Highly. I look forward to working with them in the future.”
Stuart. Service Desk Analyst. Ofgem

I cannot thank you enough for being so kind, encouraging and supportive. Terry and Rupert were very helpful throughout the whole process, I had no issues with on boarding or payments processing. Kept in contact the whole time. I found the recruitment experience with Code IT very professional and highly recommended. Amazing company, super helpful and always available to speak to.”

Richard Peralta – FCA
“Rupert is an excellent recruitment consultant. I worked with Rupert on a contract in the Home Office where I required to bring Business Analysts and Technical Architects. Rupert always ensured he understood exactly the requirement from the client and undertook efficient screening processes that led to getting just a very few candidates sent from him that were an exact fit to the role. Amicable, efficient and customer centric; it was a pleasure working with Rupert.”
Saul Zarrate – Home Office
“I had the pleasure of meeting with Rupert when he first recruited me into my current role at the VOA. And during my time here he has always been a positive and constant in all my dealings with the recruitment agency which he represents. He always does his best by the client and is approachable and responsible throughout.”
Neeraj Clarke – VOA
“I was fortunate enough to meet Rupert when he found and recruited me into the FCA. Very professional, very helpful, very knowledgeable and extremely adept at fostering and maintaining the client/recruiter relationship. I have no hesitation in recommending both Rupert and Code IT, and very much hope I get the chance to work with him again in the future.”
