very different to those faced by businesses in the private sector. This knowledge allows
us to effectively balance our clients’ unique hiring needs and priorities, whether they
relate to cost reduction or diversity and inclusion

consultants’ proven ability to deliver the most talented professionals to the public

“I have found IQ Public Sector to be extremely professional, fast and effective in the time
that I have worked with them. I have managed to fill several technical public health related
roles, with a very specialist skill set, through working with them. They are able to assess
quickly over the telephone the key skills and experience we are looking for and return
a good field of candidates quickly. They are also flexible and happy to talk through our
recruitment needs, work within our sometimes challenging budget and HR requirements
and go the extra mile to make sure we get a successful placement. I have recommended
them to colleagues and will continue to do so.”

contractors; my IQ Public Sector consultant sets himself apart from other recruitment
agencies by going the extra mile and completely understanding the requirements for the
