IT & cyber security for recruitment agencies

A recruitment agency is its CRM, its inbox and its phone system. We keep candidate data lawful, consultants productive wherever they work, and payment fraud out of the process.

Built for your sector

Protecting the candidate database that is the whole business.

The groundwork is the same in every sector: security settings switched on from day one, devices and backups monitored, and every change written down. The plan is then sized and priced for a business like yours.

What this sector needs5 points

  1. 01 Candidate & client data handled lawfully under UK GDPR, including retention limits
  2. 02 Right-to-work documents stored and disposed of securely
  3. 03 CRM and applicant-tracking uptime, with an export you actually control

  5. 05 VoIP, call recording & remote working for consultants on the move

If it is not business IT

Dacros looks after business technology, so if the machine that needs help is a household or personal one, our sibling practice JorTech handles that kind of repair. If what you are really after is a website or better search visibility rather than IT support, that is our other sibling practice, VerySEOly.
