Background
Agathos Systems, a leading ERP provider, has been dedicated to developing cutting-edge 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. They sought to collaborate with a tech recruitment specialist to identify technically proficient candidates who would seamlessly integrate into the existing team culture.
Approach
With a deep understanding of Agathos vision, culture, and values, we executed a comprehensive search campaign to attract highly skilled software developers residing in the East Midlands area. We required candidates to commit to working in the office two days a week and ensure alignment with Agathos's culture and values

"Deerfoot 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"
Tim Blake, Managing Director at Agathos Systems
Successful outcomes
After conducting our unique multi-step candidate assessment process, we provided a curated shortlist of candidates. 50% of the candidates were interviewed and 25% received and accepted job offers from Agathos. All placements remain in post at this time.


A trusted partnership
“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”.
-Tim Blake, Managing Director at Agathos Systems
