About us

Finding a job is tough. Finding the right job is even harder.

Zitko Consulting was originally formed to help candidates through this process, providing impartial, considered support that differed to normal recruitment practice. Many of our original core values are still in place today. For example

We respond to every application we receive, usually within 24 hours
We never oversell a role to gain a candidate’s interest
We only send a CV to our clients once we have spoken with a candidate
We always aim to secure more than one suitable option for our candidates, and work in partnership to ensure the right job is secured

The results of our approach tell their own story.

97% of placed candidates successfully pass their employment probation
61% of placed candidates remain with their employers for over 3 years
42% of placed candidates remain with their employers for over 6 years
25% of our placed candidates are referred to us
100% year on year growth since 2013
100% client retention since company formation

With a client base that secures billions of pounds worth of global infrastructure, we can offer our candidates an unrivalled selection of potential employers, many of whom work with us exclusively.

Make Zitko your first and only recruitment choice. Why choose anyone else?
