For over 25 years, we’ve helped IT professionals secure meaningful contract and permanent assignments. Our first consultants were deployed at AXA Insurance in Cardiff in 1997. Today, IT consultants work through Deerfoot with a range of FTSE 500 organisations across the UK. Longstanding, respectful relationships with both clients and candidates remain at the heart of everything we do.

Payments

Our experienced back-office accounts team ensures that, once you’ve secured an assignment, you’re paid accurately and on time. We offer both weekly and monthly pay cycles (aligned with end-client invoicing requirements), with cleared funds paid within 14 days of invoice or delivery.

Stability

Choosing a financially stable agency matters. With over 25 years of trading, nearly 1,000 contractors engaged, and excellent credit ratings across all major credit reference agencies, Deerfoot is a secure and reliable partner for your contract career.

Our aim is to bring a responsive and objective IT recruitment service that fully supports the needs of both individual IT candidates and our corporate clientele.

Contracts

Our contracts are designed to reflect the practical realities of working relationships while remaining compliant with IR35, AWR, and conduct regulations. We aim to ensure they are workable for you and your advisors, and we’re happy to be supportive and pragmatic when considering reasonable amendment requests.

Approach

We believe contracting should feel professional and fair. Throughout the placement lifecycle, we act with respect and transparency - never using pressure tactics or misleading information. There are no false deadlines, no invented competition, and complete honesty around client budgets and our margin, which you’re welcome to verify with the end client.
