Big enough to cope, small enough to care

Langley James was founded in 1999 to provide something unique: a bespoke IT recruitment service founded on service excellence.

Now, 16 years later we have helped some of the most respected companies in the world recruit someone worth recruiting.

So, what makes us different?

We don’t employ sales people, just highly trained recruitment experts, who combine leading edge IT knowledge with a professionalism and dedication that is second to none.  Whilst many agencies spend 80% of their time chasing new business, our reputation and position in the market means that we can spend 80% of the time focusing on your requirements.

Your absolute satisfaction is what we focus on every step of the way.  In fact, we have developed all our services from your perspective so that you get everything you need in order to make your IT recruitment problems a thing of the past. 

With more and more emphasis on a candidate led market, we look after your brand as if it was our own.  Our expert team will represent you at the highest level to each and every candidate.

How we work

We use a highly effective approach to finding the best talent for each vacancy and with the increasing use of social media, we have the expertise to know how to get the best results.

We also provide you with your own, dedicated client manager; an experienced professional who will be your regular point of contact.  With over 50 years’ experience in house, we ensure a consultative, professional approach.  Your consultant gets to really know your company and your culture meaning that you not only get the best candidate to fulfil the role but also the best fit within your company. 

We are members of the REC and FSB and our memberships also include the CIPD which helps ensure we are on the pulse with the market conditions and can give invaluable market intelligence to our clients.  This can be salary surveys, candidate availability or market demands.

We provide a full recruitment service including identifying and screening candidates and managing the full recruitment process.  Your specified deadlines for vacancy prioritisation, interview times and specified start dates are all integrated into our process.  Our internal database that has been created over the last 16 years, means that you have access to the best people, quickly!

We are also here when you need us, which is why you can call us before most other IT recruitment companies open and after they have usually gone home.  Our offices in both the North and South are here to look after you 8am-8pm, Monday to Friday.
