Salary benchmarks

Our take

The tech skills gap isn't a new problem, but it is a growing one. In the UK, the vast majority of Managing Directors now say the shortage of skilled talent is directly holding their businesses back.

This is where Grayce comes in. Since 2012, the company has been tackling this issue head-on by tapping into the untapped graduated and early-career professionals in data and tech. Through intensive development programmes and hands-on placements, Grayce fast-tracks fresh talent into enterprise roles, helping companies build future-proof recruitment pipelines without blowing the budget.

While it's been around for over a decade, Grayce is still seeing rapid growth. Having significantly expanded its ANalyst intake, grown its client base, and posted an impressive 117% growth over the past two years. Now, the company is setting its sights across the Atlantic, kicking off its expansion in the US. And a recently closed funding round will only accelerate this momentum, opening up even more room for growth.
