Using the right methodology and having expertise is key to successful IT contractor provision

Certes is all about offering flexibility to the client. Certes is focused on delivering high quality, innovative IT contract job staffing services, to both large, structured IT contract users and smaller ad hoc users of specialist niche contract skills.

We have an experienced and highly driven recruitment delivery team providing the backbone of our success. Our dedicated teams of vertical market specialists provide contract services within several key vertical markets, where their knowledge of the market, their network of contacts, their understanding of the demand and rates, means they can offer a truly focused and expert resourcing service.

Our service is backed up by a recruitment methodology that has been honed into a streamlined, finely tuned, fast and efficient service called Precision Resource Management (PRM). The methodology has been designed order to deliver a measurable, structured, and robust service to the client, which exceeds all expectations. Certes uses this to source and bring on board the right people for your organisation.

Successful attraction and placement of resources is not focussed on any one single method and a blended approach is the only way to guarantee consistent resource provision. When interacting with contractors, we also think about what will benefit them in terms of their long-term career and whether a role is the right move for them. That’s what sets Certes apart from others and ensures a good working relationship with both contractor and client.

PRM™ is audited by the British Standards Institute as part of our ISO accreditation and is also fully compliant with the Employment Agencies Act, IR35, GDPR, Equality Act, Agency Workers Regulations and the Modern Slavery Act.

Service excellence is a key driver for our team’s own personal success as well as a core value of our business. KPIs and supply agreements are set to ensure our consistent delivery and results.

Our business infrastructure enables us to remain competitive through the provision of flexible services and low operational costs. Our service is purposely tailored to the needs of small- or large-scale requirements and speed of response to meet radical fluctuations in volumes of requirements through our ability to rapidly scale up and down.

Our IT Contract Teams (ITCT) service can provide IT contractors either inside or outside of IR35, with varying IT skills. With a mature database of over 500,000 IT contractors, organisations are sure to be able to find the right person for the job.

"The procedures in Central Government take time and to find good people to support specialist short term roles is not easy. Michelle and Matt were patient through my due diligence and moved at pace once the blocks had been removed. Certes and the NCS framework has worked very well and is by far the best tool we have for specialist short-term roles!"
