IT SUPPORT FOR
RECRUITMENT
AGENCIES UK
Coreitech provides specialist IT support for UK recruitment agencies. Bullhorn, Vincere, Firefish software support, candidate data GDPR compliance, Cyber Essentials, and scalable IT for fast-growing staffing firms.
IT support that scales
with your agency
Recruitment agencies have some of the most specific IT requirements of any SME sector: ATS/CRM platforms with complex integrations, one of the most demanding GDPR environments (candidate data at scale), high consultant turnover requiring rapid onboarding/offboarding, and mission-critical LinkedIn dependency. Generic IT companies consistently miss these requirements.
Coreitech supports recruitment agencies with deep knowledge of Bullhorn, Vincere, Firefish, and other ATS platforms; candidate GDPR compliance implementation; and the automated onboarding infrastructure that lets fast-growing agencies add headcount without IT becoming a bottleneck.
Managed IT for Recruitment Agencies
All-inclusive managed IT for recruitment firms, staffing agencies, and executive search businesses. Proactive monitoring, unlimited helpdesk, on-site engineers, and patch management — fixed monthly price.
ATS & CRM Software Support
Expert support for Bullhorn, Vincere, Firefish, JobAdder, and other recruitment CRM and ATS platforms. We understand the integration dependencies, LinkedIn connectivity, and job board feeds that recruiters rely on.
Candidate Data GDPR Compliance
Recruitment agencies hold vast amounts of candidate personal data with strict GDPR obligations. We implement data governance controls, retention policies, candidate consent management, and DSAR capability.
Microsoft 365 for Recruiters
Microsoft 365 setup and management for recruitment businesses. Outlook with Bullhorn integration, Teams, SharePoint for document management, LinkedIn Sales Navigator connectivity, and Defender security.
Cyber Essentials for Recruitment Firms
Cyber Essentials certification for recruitment agencies. Required by enterprise clients doing supplier security assessments, professional indemnity insurers, and increasingly by RPO contract requirements.
Rapid Scalability for Growing Agencies
Recruitment agencies grow fast. We provide automated new user onboarding, standardised device builds via Windows Autopilot, and scalable IT infrastructure that adds users in hours not weeks.
The four IT risks that cost
recruitment agencies the most
Candidate data breach — massive GDPR exposure
Recruitment agencies hold tens of thousands of candidate CVs, contact details, and personal information. A breach triggers ICO investigation. The largest GDPR fines in the UK have been issued against recruitment and HR businesses.
BEC attacks impersonating consultants
Email compromise enabling attackers to impersonate consultants in client conversations is a significant risk, potentially exposing confidential assignments and client relationship data.
LinkedIn account compromise
LinkedIn is mission-critical infrastructure for recruiters. Account compromise exposes candidate networks, client relationships, and confidential assignment data. MFA on LinkedIn accounts is essential.
CRM downtime during critical billing periods
When Bullhorn or Vincere is down during month-end billing, placement confirmations, or high-activity periods, revenue directly suffers. Proactive monitoring and rapid response are non-negotiable.

What recruitment agencies say
about Coreitech
"Coreitech understand Bullhorn integrations and the Outlook sync issues we used to have constantly. Since switching, our consultants haven't had a single CRM outage. The Windows Autopilot onboarding means new starters are productive on day one."
"We got ICO audited after a candidate complained about a data erasure request. Coreitech's GDPR compliance work — retention policies, DSAR process, and consent management in our ATS — meant we passed without any enforcement action."
"As a fast-growing executive search firm, IT was becoming a bottleneck. Coreitech gave us an automated onboarding process and a helpdesk that responds in minutes. We've doubled headcount in 18 months without IT ever being the limiting factor."

IT support for recruitment agencies:
common questions answered
Q.What IT support do recruitment agencies specifically need?
Recruitment agencies have specific IT requirements around their ATS/CRM (Bullhorn, Vincere, Firefish), job board integrations (LinkedIn, Indeed, Reed), candidate data GDPR obligations (one of the most complex GDPR environments in any sector), email marketing platform integration, video interview platforms, and rapid onboarding/offboarding for their own staff who often have high turnover. Generic IT companies miss these requirements consistently.
Q.Can you support Bullhorn and other recruitment CRM platforms?
Yes. We support Bullhorn (including Bullhorn ATS, Bullhorn CRM, and Bullhorn Analytics), Vincere, Firefish, JobAdder, Mercury xRM, Adapt/Bond, and Eploy. This includes the Microsoft 365 integrations (Outlook, Teams, Calendar sync), LinkedIn Sales Navigator connectivity, job board feed configurations, and the server-side or cloud infrastructure dependencies that make these platforms work reliably.
Q.How do recruitment agencies need to handle GDPR for candidate data?
Recruitment agencies operate in one of the most complex GDPR environments. Key requirements: lawful basis for each category of candidate processing (typically legitimate interests for active candidates, consent for speculative searches), clear retention periods (ICO guidance suggests 12 months for unsuccessful candidates as a starting point), candidate right-to-erasure processes, data subject access request (DSAR) capability across your full ATS and email history, and documented consent for marketing communications. We implement the technical controls and process documentation this requires.
Q.Can you help us manage rapid headcount growth IT needs?
Yes. Recruitment agencies often grow rapidly and need to onboard new consultants quickly. We implement Windows Autopilot for zero-touch device provisioning, automated Microsoft 365 user creation with pre-configured role-based access, standardised device builds, and offboarding automation that ensures leavers' access is immediately revoked. A new consultant can have a fully configured laptop, email, Bullhorn access, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator ready on day one.
Q.What cyber security do recruitment agencies need?
Recruitment agencies face specific cyber risks: BEC attacks impersonating consultants or clients; phishing attacks against high-activity email users; candidate data theft for identity fraud; and LinkedIn account compromise. Essential controls: MFA on all accounts, email security with anti-phishing tools and DMARC/DKIM/SPF, EDR on all endpoints, LinkedIn MFA enforcement, and regular phishing simulation training for consultants.
Q.How much does IT support cost for a recruitment agency?
Managed IT support for recruitment agencies from Coreitech costs £25/user/month (Standard plan) or £50/user/month (Advanced plan — includes Microsoft 365, cyber security, on-site engineers, and dedicated account manager). Transparent, fixed pricing with no hidden extras.
Q.What is the best IT support for a recruitment agency?
The best IT support for a recruitment agency combines specialist Bullhorn/Vincere/Firefish knowledge, automated consultant onboarding (Windows Autopilot), candidate GDPR compliance implementation, and LinkedIn security. Coreitech provides all of this from £25/user/month with a 15-min critical SLA — and we onboard a new consultant with a fully configured laptop on day one.
Q.How quickly can a recruitment agency switch IT provider?
Most recruitment agency IT transitions complete within 48 hours. We manage all communication with your previous provider, retrieve credentials, deploy monitoring, configure Bullhorn/Vincere integrations, and ensure your consultants have live helpdesk access from day one. Fast-growing agencies particularly value our ability to onboard new starters same-day using Windows Autopilot.
