What they say about us
"83zero were asked to provide a ‘Data Architect’ on a contract basis who would, in time, become the Programme Manager of a multi-million pound programme.
With cost and time being a key factor, the IT Director needed a suitable candidate started within a 5 day period to ensure the project started on time. Having worked with The APM Group previously 83zero had the understanding of both the business and technical needs to meet this tight deadline. Due to previous successes.
The APM Group were confident in 83zero’s ability to deliver a ‘cost effective’ and ‘immediate’ contract solution. Through our network we identified an immediately available candidate who was on budget and had all the desired skills resulting in a happy candidate and client.
18 months later the team now consists of 6 contractors, 100% of which were successfully placed through 83zero’s established contractor network. 83zero are now the go to resource for all contract recruitment solutions."
"I've had the pleasure of working with 83zero several times over the last few years and have been impressed each and every time. 83zero is thoughtful in their approach - ensuring they understand our company and team culture, specific skillsets desired, and quickly adjusts if business needs change. He thoroughly screens candidates and provides helpful insight.
83zero's communication is top notch. Especially working in different time zones, it was so helpful to have detailed notes and follow-up. They do an excellent job establishing trusted relationships with clients, they does the same with candidates.
Can't recommend 83zero highly enough!"
"We have partnered with 83zero for the past 5 years and they have been instrumental in developing and expanding our Support team in EMEA, attracting the best talent in the market. They work tirelessly, to not only understand our technical requirements, but also understand the company culture which has led to them successfully filling over 90% of our roles. They have diligently sought a consistent stream of well-prepared candidates for consideration and interview and their dedication and detailed approach ensures candidates have the skills and aspiration to fill them.
Their success can be measured not only by the number of successful placements they have made, but also by the number of candidates who feel respected and supported by their professional approach. We have never had more candidates, successful or otherwise, tell me their recruiter was the best ever. If you want a job that challenges your skills and fills your aspiration, go and speak to 83zero."
"I have worked with 83zero on recruiting candidates for over 3 years now and can honestly say that they have made it effortless and no matter what company I work for, I will always try to get 83zero involved.
The main thing that separates 83zero from everyone else is their attention to detail, no matter what technical requirement I ask for, the team will take the time to learn about it and how it affects the role to find the perfect candidate.
They will not just send over countless CV's to try to get someone in, they take the time to filter through and give you an in-depth review of the market and talent available.
Their passion to help and their professionalism are top tier and I would recommend anyone in the Technical Support sector who is looking for top talent to contact 83zero."
"We have worked with 83zero on sourcing and recruiting candidates for a couple of years now and can nothing but recommend them for their skills, professionalism and successful candidate placement rate.
Working with 83zero is nothing but pleasant and they're on top of their game all the time. From initial brief on complex requirements of the role(s), 83zero was able to work completely on his own, with regular follow-ups and status updates on candidate sourcing progress. Working their magic, 83zero finds really good candidates.
A testament to their success is not just his high candidate placement rate, but also feedback about them given by candidates about their experience working with 83zero, from initial conversations through to interview.
If you’re looking for a good talent acquisition partnership, have a word with 83zero."
"NetApp has been one of 83zero’s long-standing key clients in the UK. Following the expansion of their Global Support Centre in the Netherlands, 83zero were engaged on a large project to secure over 70 of the best Storage and Infrastructure Support Engineers.
They had successfully attracted a large proportion of these heads through their direct internal recruitment team but needed assistance in helping identify regional talent.
NetApp chose 83zero because of our specialisation and proven search abilities within the storage and support arena. With the active market already being exhausted 83zero focussed on identifying a pool of “passive” candidates using their network, referral scheme and proven headhunting approach. 76% of the candidates submitted were sourced by this approach. NetApp were very impressed with 83zero’s ability to find and attract candidates that had not previously been identified in their 3 months of searching.
83zero were successful in identifying circa 10 candidates and are now a valued recruitment partner when supporting this region’s support practice."
"Palo Alto Networks, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, sought to strengthen its Technical Support Engineering team across multiple countries in the EMEA region.
With a focus on expanding their presence in Poland, Czechia, Hungary, the UK, and Spain, the company needed a strategic partner to navigate the complexities of recruiting top-tier talent across diverse markets.
To address these challenges, Palo Alto Networks engaged 83zero, as their recruitment partner with a proven track record in building Enterprise Technical Support teams in EMEA."
"83zero have been fantastic in helping us setup our EMEA support and Pre-Sales team at PaperCut.
We had some very specific needs above and beyond just needing EMEA based support engineers, and they have been able to hit the brief for every position. We never had to chase 83zero, they were always on top of our requests and we had 100% confidence that they were working hard to find our new team. They did all the pre-screening that allowed us to concentrate on interviewing the best candidates, and were great at articulating our vision to prospective candidates to get them excited about life at PaperCut.
Working with 83zero is really a class above when it comes to the agency experience, and it's been a delight - I would highly recommend 83Zero to anyone looking to build a successful team."
"In the last two years, 83zero has become one of Pontoon's long-standing, top performing Technology and Data recruitment agencies in the UK.
Following the expansion of Capgemini’s Global Software Development and Insights & Data teams in the UK, 83zero were engaged on several large projects to secure over 50 of the best Microsoft O365, Azure, Dynamics365 Developers/Architects, Full Stack and Front End Developers, Platform Engineers, Data Engineers, and Data Architects to support ongoing and future projects.
They worked quickly and tirelessly to ensure we had a strong shortlist for each role, which resulted in multiple successful placements. The team at 83zero are hardworking and honest, with a real and infectious passion for what they do.
They get the job done, every time."
"Silicon Reef, a leading technology consulting firm, aimed to significantly expand its Microsoft consulting team to better address the increasing demand for Microsoft solutions.
With a goal to scale from a single consultant to a full team of seven, Silicon Reef partnered with 83zero, a specialist recruitment agency known for its expertise in sourcing top-tier Microsoft Modern Workplace talent."
"The team at 83zero have been instrumental in helping me strengthen our Modern Workplace team here at Telstra Purple.
We set the bar high in wanting to attract the best talent, to work with the best, and 83zero have always shown us a high calibre of candidate, not only with the right technical expertise but also their culture fit too.
83zero are transparent, highly efficient and have an exceptional brand in their candidate networks. We receive regular feedback from candidates throughout our interviewing processes, always holding 83zero in the highest regard, giving candidates a brilliant experience, regardless of the outcome."
"I have had the pleasure of working with 83zero for several years, assisting me on multiple hiring.
They have provided invaluable support with his knowledge, positive attitude, and attention to detail.
83zero earns my highest recommendation."
"Ultima Business Solutions had been searching for a Technical Consultant for over 12 months and the calibre of candidates from their (then) current suppliers were not hitting the mark. This was a key appointment to support the growth of their Microsoft practice and they had to get it right. 83zero were recommended to Ultima by one of their Microsoft Partner Managers who had previously used them as a specialist agency to help build consulting teams.
As Ultima had an established PSL already in place, 83zero were initially engaged on a project basis for this key hire at a cost competitive to their current suppliers. To better understand the challenges that Ultima had faced over the previous 12 months, 83zero met with their senior management team to discuss and advise the best approach to identify the right candidate. After a dedicated 2 week search 83zero had identified a shortlist resulting in a successful placement.
Following this project, 83zero were invited to tender to become an approved IT recruitment agency to Ultima and are now proud to be one of their top tier recruitment partners."
