Skills shortages are a constant problem in the IT sector, but voting in this year's Seek Annual Recruitment Awards (SARAs) has given IT managers an indication of which recruitment agencies jobseekers like the best.

Auckland-based Recruit IT and Perth-based Talent International were named best large and small-medium IT recruiters respectively. Both have offices in Auckland and Wellington, as well as overseas.

Parker Bridge received the SARA Legend award, which honours recruiters who achieve excellence in their categories for three consecutive years.

General recruitment awards went to Adecco Recruitment (large), Select Recruitment (medium) and Fluid Recruitment (small).
