IT staffing firm GCS Recruitment Services has launched a managed services division aimed at helping clients to reduce recruitment costs.

The new division will approach clients as the lead supplier, but will work with a network of other agencies to minimise costs.

Kevin Logan, who will run the new division, said he hoped to reduce clients’ annual recruitment spend by at least 10% a year.

“At a time when IT recruitment is on the increase again we can ensure that [clients] get the right person for the right job at the right price,” he said.
