The Cortex Secret

So what makes Cortex IT Recruitment unique and why should you consider us in your recruitment strategy?

Cortex is actually in an incredibly unique position in the market that no other consultancy can be. We are a sister company to GRB, the UK’s leading graduate level recruitment consultancy which was established in 1997. By using sophisticated in-house tools and algorithms on nearly 1 million detailed candidate records and various online data-points, we are able to track and identify the career progression of the best hard to reach talent.

Our unique platform gives us exclusive access to future industry high flyers who tend to be highly academic candidates with relevant experience. They are often not on LinkedIn or do not have a CV uploaded to a jobs board. It’s these passive job seekers that we are able to promote your opportunities to. We partner our clients with not just the best of the job seeker market but also much wider and deeper within the industry.
