UK Technology Sector
The technology sector is one of the largest
wealth creators in the UK and fastest growing
sectors over the last decade.
With the launch of innovation hubs and
establishment of tech cities and clusters in London
and across the country, the UK is now firmly
recognised as a incubator for technology
businesses.
Investors view the UK as a magnet for international
talent and a platform to expand or launch their
business, supported by a favourable culture,
regulations and policies, along with easy access to
finance. UK consumers are early adopters of new
technologies and design, making it an attractive
market for many of our clients.
Developing a deep understanding of the
technology industry, current trends and future
developments is vital for us to deliver a first-class
service to our clients. We pride ourselves on our
extensive knowledge of the industry and the
specialist skill sets it requires.
The large tenders we have won and widespread
implementations we have worked on with our
clients is testament to our knowledge in this sector.
Each of our Managers have at least five years’
experience in this industry.

5. What sets us apart?
 The quality of our service
At Roc Search we’ve worked hard to establish a reputation for
quality of service, and for our ability to deliver to both high-
volume and specific niche requirements.
At the heart of our business are the key principles of honesty, integrity
and communication. These qualities underpin everything we do and
explain the high-quality service we offer, to both clients and candidates.
What this means in practice is close business partnerships built on
honesty, transparency, loyalty and trust. When you work with Roc
Search you encounter an unwavering approach, a mind-set which runs
through everything we do, whether you’re a small start-up or a large
corporate, whatever your sector, and wherever you’re based.
 Vertical market focus

working with employers and job seekers in the Technology
sector.
Our Recruitment Consultants specialise in one area, such as Software
Development or SAP.
By focusing on one vertical market they are able to build up an in-depth
knowledge of the sector, from the latest trends and new skills
employers are looking for, to the types of roles and opportunities
available for job seekers who are ready to take the next step in their
career.

7. Employer services
for clients
We work on the basis that trust is everything in recruitment,
and that you are only as good as your last placement.
Our integrity and professionalism shape all our client relationships; they
explain both our ability to ensure listings on PSLs and why we’re
repeatedly entrusted to exclusively manage organisations’ recruitment
processes. That’s why you can be sure the candidates we send you will
have the expertise and experience you need, at the budget you
specified.
Recruiting Managers
Our service is as exceptional as our rates are competitive.
We offer refund guarantees and our specialists never just tick boxes or
tell you what you need. Your business, no less than ours, depends on
the quality of its people, not the quantity of candidates we send. The
time we take to understand your requirements is your guarantee that
we’re sending you the right people, first time.
Human Resources / Procurement Management
We approach our client relationships as partnerships.
Our account management function ensures a close fit between our
services and the HR and Procurement processes for every
organisation we work with. The large tenders we’ve won are testament
both to the close working relationships we establish with HR and
Procurement professionals and to our responsiveness to the needs of
the varying policies of different companies.

14. “Elisha works tirelessly to understand
the type of person I am looking for, as
well as the role I am recruiting.
She represents her candidates well, and is
always able to tell me that little extra about
them that brings them to life before deciding
whether to interview.
The recruitment process runs smoothly and I
can rely on Elisha to send only the most
suitable candidates through, and have them
well briefed and prepared to do their best at
interview. Thank you!”

15. Urban Science is a business solutions
company focused on supporting the
needs of the sales and marketing
function of the automotive industry.
We leverage a scientific methodology to help our client
partners sell more vehicles, improve profitability and
increase customer loyalty. And we do that by helping
solve their toughest challenges including planning an
optimal dealership network, improving individual dealer
performance, and efficiently converting sales leads into
sales. In short, we guide business through science –
and we’ve been doing this since 1977. Today we have
a team of more than 850 employees across 19 global
offices.
We were seeking two permanent roles: a hosting
specialist and an infrastructure specialist. Historically,
the challenges we face are the timescales of the
processes. Because our HQ is in Detroit and there is a
significant time difference, the process of recruiting
new employees can often be lengthy.
It was vital from the start that Roc Search really
understood how it can often take us two weeks to get
feedback on candidates. At the initial interviews Roc
Search were clear and concise with candidates, and
managed their expectations throughout the process. It
was essential that any recruitment company we worked
with understood our processes and culture, and right
from the early CVs and communication we had with
Roc Search it was clear that they realised this.
We found the process of recruitment was streamlined
through Roc Search. Not only did they understand our
full requirements but they took the whole process away
from me to manage, often advising on the market and
pay rates. We will continue to work with Roc Search in
the future.

16. CM Group specialises in the design,
creation and delivery of advanced
eLearning and mobile learning solutions.
Content Master provides technical expertise,
comprehensive content development,
publishing services, content authoring and
media production skills to groups across
Microsoft.
“We had a requirement for multiple staff for a
major project that was due to start soon. Roc
Search provided us with a number of high
quality candidates for us to review, making
arrangements quickly for phone interviews,
following up quickly with both the candidates
and us as the client.
We were able to take on a number of the
resources they proposed and have been
working successfully with them for several
months.
Now whenever we have temporary resourcing
needs we contact them first knowing we can
expect top quality candidates enabling us to get
the right people on board quickly.”
