Background
Agathos Systems, a leading ERP provider, has been developing software, systems and solutions for the UK wholesale distribution sector for over four decades. Known for its high employee satisfaction and retention rates, Agathos aimed to expand its software development team to support its ambitious growth plans.
It wanted to work with a tech recruitment specialist to find technically proficient candidates who would integrate seamlessly into the existing team culture.

A lasting recruitment partnership
At Deerfoot, we are committed to building lasting recruitment partnerships that deliver measurable results. Our rigorous, multi-step assessment process means we consistently match clients with candidates who have the right technical skills and also align with the organisation’s culture and values.
By focusing on quality, transparency and a deep understanding of each client’s needs, we help organisations achieve better hiring outcomes and long-term success.
“I’m delighted to have found Deerfoot to support our recruitment needs at Agathos Systems. They genuinely understand what we’re looking for, which is absolutely crucial when trying to find the right fit for our team.
Over the years, I’ve worked with many recruitment agencies who promise rigorous screening and thorough candidate evaluation, but in practice this often falls short. Deerfoot, on the other hand, have consistently presented us with candidates who not only have the right technical skills but also the personality traits that align with our company culture.”
