Need faster, more reliable internet for your recruitment business?

Recruitment businesses turn to us when

Their current IT provider doesn't understand recruitment CRM platforms or the fast-paced nature of agency operations
Bullhorn, Vincere, or their ATS is unreliable, and consultants are losing placements and candidate relationships
They're concerned about GDPR compliance for the thousands of candidate CVs and personal records they hold
New consultant onboarding takes too long — every day without full system access is lost billing revenue
Their VoIP phone system is unreliable, causing dropped calls and poor audio quality that damages client and candidate relationships
The agency is scaling rapidly and IT can't keep pace with new hires, new offices, and growing system demands
There's no dedicated IT person and agency directors are wasting valuable time dealing with technology problems
Their current provider can't effectively support consultants working remotely, from client sites, or across multiple offices
They need to demonstrate robust data security credentials to win recruitment contracts with enterprise clients

How it works

From initial enquiry to live connection, we handle everything so you can focus on running your business.

1

Site Survey & Assessment

We assess your current setup, bandwidth needs, number of users and business-critical applications. We check what's available at your postcode and recommend the best-fit product — not the most expensive one.

2

Quote & Order

We provide a clear, transparent quote with no hidden costs. Once approved, we place the order with Fidelity Group and manage the entire provisioning process — keeping you informed at every stage.

3

Installation & Configuration

We coordinate the physical installation, configure your router and firewall, set up static IPs, integrate with your existing network and ensure everything is working before we consider the job done.

4

Monitor & Support

Once live, we proactively monitor your connection, handle any issues with the carrier on your behalf and provide ongoing technical support. You deal with us — one point of contact for everything.

Business connectivity for Recruitment

What's included with our connectivity service

01

Site Survey & Availability Check

We assess your current bandwidth usage, number of users and devices, cloud application reliance and growth plans -- then recommend the product that genuinely fits. Working with Fidelity Group's infrastructure data, we identify the fastest, most reliable options at your specific premises including fibre availability and exchange distances.

02

Ordering & Provisioning Management

We handle the entire ordering process -- from initial order through carrier provisioning, installation scheduling and go-live. For leased lines, this includes wayleave applications, fibre routing surveys and civil works management. You don't deal with the telecoms provider at any stage.

03

Router & Firewall Configuration

We configure your router with proper settings, set up firewall rules, establish VPN connections, configure static IPs and ensure your network is both fast and secure. If you're on a managed IT plan, this integrates seamlessly with your existing network monitoring and management.

04

Network Integration

We integrate your new connection with existing infrastructure -- switches, Wi-Fi access points, VoIP phones, printers and connected devices. Full end-to-end testing ensures your team can work from day one. Upgrades are planned with careful cutover to minimise downtime.

05

Ongoing Monitoring & Support

Proactive monitoring for outages, latency issues and performance degradation -- we often know about problems before you do. If a fault needs raising with the carrier, we handle it. One point of contact, no sitting on hold, no being bounced between departments.

06

Failover & Resilience Options

For businesses where downtime is not an option, we design failover solutions -- secondary broadband from a different carrier, 4G/5G backup that kicks in automatically, or dual leased lines with automatic failover routing. Seamless switching so fast your team doesn't even notice.

Why Cloudswitched for connectivity?

IT company first, connectivity provider second. That's why your broadband actually works properly.

IT company, not just a reseller

We configure your router, firewall and network properly — not just plug in a box and leave. Your connectivity is integrated with your entire IT infrastructure.

One point of contact

No dealing with call centres. You call us, and we deal with the carrier. One relationship, one phone call, one team that knows your business.

Right product, not the most expensive

We recommend based on what you actually need — not what earns us the biggest commission. If SoGEA is enough, we'll say so. No upselling.

Proactive monitoring

We monitor your connection and often know about issues before you do. When there's a problem, we're already on it — not waiting for you to call.

Enterprise-grade infrastructure

Through Fidelity Group, you get access to the same carrier-grade infrastructure used by large enterprises — at prices that work for SMBs.

Full network integration

We don't just install a line. We integrate it with your switches, Wi-Fi, VoIP and cloud services — making sure everything works together from day one.

Managed cutover

Upgrading your connection? We plan the switchover carefully to minimise downtime, keeping the old line live until the new one is fully tested.

Part of your IT team

Already a Cloudswitched IT support client? Your connectivity slots straight into your existing support. Not yet? We can manage both together for maximum efficiency.

Failover & resilience

Need guaranteed uptime? We design failover solutions with backup connections that kick in automatically — so your business keeps running no matter what.
