Located at the world famous Bletchley Park (home of the code breakers) with its unique, top-secret heritage including the Enigma machine, The National Museum of Computing and a rebuilt Colossus, the world’s first electronic computer. We thought this was the best location to help decipher the world of recruitment and crack the industry with forward thinking, service driven results.  

At the heart of our approach is the way we work with our candidates, who incidentally are also treated as clients.  We completely understand that candidates are a recruitment agency’s biggest asset and should be invested in, engaged with and nurtured accordingly. This necessity and approach is not lost on our consultants who understand that without great candidate service, recruiters can’t attract new clients and retain old ones.

This guiding principle of identifi’s approach is crucial to assisting our clients with the continued skills shortage and identifi-ing and retaining top talent. This will impact every area of business irrespective of your industry or business area. Our commitment to candidates is to help them manage career decisions and to provide them with the best opportunities available to them with the leading companies we work with.
