Your Tech Recruitment Partner for Lower-Risk Hiring
Hiring the right technology professional can transform your organisation. Hiring the wrong one is costly, disruptive, and distracting. At Deerfoot Recruitment Solutions, we believe a recruitment partner should share the responsibility of a hire, not pass the risk on.
For 2026, we’re taking our partnership-led approach further with industry-leading risk-sharing terms. Whether you are a Talent Acquisition leader, Hiring Manager, or Senior Executive scaling teams in Cybersecurity, Cloud, Dev, Data, Analytics, or Leadership, our model is designed to minimise uncertainty, reduce costs, and maximise long-term impact.
12 Months of Total Peace of Mind
Our 2026 Risk-Sharing Terms
We shoulder more of the hiring risk with our new guarantees. Our 2026 terms reflect our 94% retention rate and our quality-first methodology:
We’re proud of our quality; clients rarely need these protections. By shouldering more risk ourselves, we're even more driven to deliver hires that add measurable, sustained value.
Why We Can Back These Terms
Confidence Built on Experience
Our guarantees aren’t aspirational; they’re backed by decades of specialist experience and measurable outcomes:
- 94% retention rate – permanent hires remain in post after 12 months
- 19+ years average consultant experience
- UK tech/IT specialists since 1997
- Deep, exclusive talent networks
We achieve this through thorough talent mapping (active & passive candidates), proven multi-step assessments, rigorous vetting (references, qualifications, background), optional video interviews, and a commitment to delivering impact hires who thrive long-term.
A True Partnership, Not a Transaction
