The trusted and preferred IT recruitment partner to Southampton's leading employers.
Our Search Capabilities
We spend significantly on the top pay-per-view CV search databases (both all industry, and IT-specific), and all of our consultants have unfettered access to LinkedIn's full Recruiter Licenses. This is in addition to an in-house CV database that we have built up over the past 23 years.
To make the best use of these resources, we have invested in market-leading technology powered by AI, enabling us to plan and build more powerful searches with 100% accuracy, every time.
As well as our excellent search capabilities, we also advertise roles across leading all industry & IT specialist job boards, and social media, enabling maximum candidate reach.
Compliance & Governance
For over twenty years, we have been audited annually by BSI (the world's leading authority on business process standards). We have a commitment to continually monitor and manage quality across our business, constantly identifying areas for improvement.
That's why we have been successful in securing the BSI 9001 quality standard every single year.
We are also a full REC member (our industry's trade body) and abide strongly by their Code of Professional Practice.
Our Industry Knowledge
As a specialist IT Recruitment Agency, our industry knowledge is a core strength of our offering. All of our consultants undergo extensive research-led training centred on technology and IT function understanding.
By equipping ourselves with this knowledge, we are able to further realise the technical complexities of all IT requirements we work on. We use this insight to better evaluate and match candidates to your vacancy.
Not only do we benefit from a thorough understanding of technology, we appreciate how the use of this technology differs across various vertical markets.

Speak to Us Now
Fed up with fast-talking, over-familiar, pushy recruiters? That’s not us at all.
We work quietly with the aim of delivering great results. We will listen respectfully to your needs, plan a search campaign, and get to work.
We aim to present a small selection of ‘best match’ candidates, objectively. Mindful of your workload we then wait patiently for feedback within an appropriate timeframe.
Some Employers We Support in The South
We have been headquartered on the South Coast since 1997, and many of our original clients are still using us today. We are a trusted local recruitment agency with an extensive network of IT Talent in the locality.
A Climate Positive Workforce
Our commitment to sustainability has always been important to us, and we are always looking for ways to minimise our impact on the world around us. We now use only electric powered company vehicles, purchase renewable green energy for our offices, and educate our staff on ways to reduce their individual impact.
This year, we took one further step and Deerfoot became a Climate Positive Workforce with Ecologi. As well as all business travel, we now offset the entire carbon footprint of all our employees. This includes emissions from their home, personal travel, holidays, food, hobbies and more.
Supporting The Born Free Foundation
We have been an official fundraising partner to the Born Free Foundation (registered charity no. 1070906) for many years. Born Free have been working tirelessly since 1984 for the conservation of wildlife and endangered animals around the world.
We commit to donate £1 each time we send a candidate's CV to a recruiting client. Over the years, we have donated thousands of pounds. By choosing Deerfoot IT for your next hire, you'll be helping us in supporting Born Free to continue to improve the lives of animals everywhere.
