Matthew Evers

Director of IT Recruitment

​Matthew manages the IT team of Recruitment Consultants at VANRATH. With 6 years of IT recruitment experience and having previously worked in business development for 5 years, Matthew recruits senior IT professionals within the Industry and Commerce sector across Northern Ireland and is renowned as a trusted recruitment partner for the leading software houses, local IT start-ups and new FDI clients who are setting up in Northern Ireland and building out their teams with the best local talent.

​I cannot recommend VANRATH recruitment enough, having just finished university, the process can feel daunting. However the fantastic communication and guidance from the VANRATH team made this process a lot easier. Their attention to detail and expertises is unparalleled to any other recruitment company I have dealt with. Would recommend to any professional.

I had the pleasure of working Matthew. After accepting a role on another company that unfortunately fell through, Matthew was able to find me another role and made the entire process seamless. I have just accepted the offer and signed the contract. I can't thank Matthew enough.

​Very highly recommend Jack, he was extremely knowledgeable and friendly which made the experience a lot more pleasant, done my first week at my new job and very happy! Jack is a credit to himself and VANRATH. Thanks very much!

​I recently worked with Chanel Gillen to fill a vacancy in my finance department. Chanel was a joy to work with and we filled our vacancy within a week. I would have no hesitation in recommending both Chanel and VANRATH for your finance recruitment needs.

Extremely patient, thorough, helpful and conscientious about his work. Above and beyond and a pleasure at all times. Much appreciated and highly highly recommended.
