Better hires, in our clients' words
Since 1997 we have helped organisations make technology hires that last. We think you should hear about that from the people we work with, rather than from us.
Here you will find two case studies and first-hand feedback from clients ranging from a global bank to a growing software business. The common thread is the care we take to understand the role, the team and the culture before we send a single CV.

Client story
MUFG: a partnership of nearly 15 years
Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG) is Japan's largest financial group and a global banking leader, with over 120,000 employees across more than 40 countries. We have supported its technology hiring for nearly 15 years, on permanent and contract roles, finding people suited to a complex, fast-paced and regulated environment.
PRO Unlimited (now Magnit), which manages MUFG's contingent workforce programme, named Deerfoot UK Supplier of the Year for our work on the MUFG account.
“We have worked with Deerfoot for several years, and they remain a trusted partner in tech hiring initiatives. As well as helping secure quality tech hires, their support around providing info on market trends, thorough candidate vetting and all-around delivery has been excellent.”
Contingent Workforce Program Manager, MUFG Banking Group
