About Us
Why clients choose Prospectus IT Recruitment
At Prospectus IT Recruitment, we specialise in business-critical systems hiring — supporting organisations where systems sit at the heart of operations.
Founded in 1988 by Elkie Holland, our roots are in specialist markets where experience is scarce and getting the hire right matters. From early work in MultiValue and legacy environments, we built a reputation for delivering in areas where few others could.
Today, that focus continues across MultiValue, IBM i, legacy, Infor and ERP environments, including NetSuite — supporting manufacturing, supply chain and operational businesses where systems are critical to day-to-day performance.
What makes us different
1. Deep specialist understanding
We work in environments where systems are central to how the business runs.
That means understanding:
- How systems operate day-to-day
- Where knowledge sits and risk builds
- What success looks like beyond the job description
2. Structured, modern delivery
Our TED framework (Target → Engage → Deliver) combines technology with recruiter expertise.
AI supports our process — but human judgement remains central to ensuring quality, fairness and long-term fit.
3. Long-term partnerships
We build long-term relationships, not transactions.
Many of our clients have worked with us for years — often decades — relying on us for specialist hiring, succession planning and hard-to-fill roles.
Beyond recruitment
We support organisations with specialist hiring where experience is scarce and roles are business-critical, including:
- Contract and project-based roles
- Executive and retained search
We also work as an AI Talent Partner and HR Talent Strategist, helping organisations design smarter, more effective hiring approaches.
Our impact
- 39+ years in recruitment
- 2700+ placements delivered
- 80%+ repeat clients
- Focused on niche, business-critical systems hiring
These reflect long-term partnerships, successful hires and real business outcomes.
Our commitment
We focus on getting the right hire, not just filling roles.
By combining deep market knowledge, strong networks and structured delivery, we help clients hire with confidence and clarity.
