Cressoft places engineers with clients like Sainsbury's, Argos, Holland & Barrett, Forever 8, HSBC and Convex Insurance. One honest application, a clear five-stage process, transparent rates, and a dedicated Talent Manager once you are placed. No recruiter spam, no ghosting.
Why engineers stay with us
Sainsbury's, Holland & Barrett and high-growth companies across retail, ecommerce, finance and AI. Real production systems, not throwaway demos.
Five clear stages, honest feedback, no 14-round loops and no ghosting. You always know where you stand.
You see the day rate before you commit. Competitive with UK and EU markets, paid on time, no opaque agency margin.
Work from where you are, aligned to the client's hours. Prefer an office on the days you want one? We provide access to co-working spaces so you can switch between home and a proper desk whenever it suits. No relocation, no visa hoops.
Once placed, a dedicated Talent Manager handles onboarding, timesheets, scope and any issue, so you focus on the work.
Most of our engagements extend well beyond their first term. We invest in long relationships, not one-off placements.
