Connecting Niche Technology Professionals

Has the pandemic stopped you from changing jobs? Should it?

Has the pandemic stopped you from changing jobs? Should it?If you were considering a career change in early 2020, you were probably feeling very fortunate in some respects that you decided against changing. The modern world has experienced many challenges, the financial crisis, Brexit in the UK and EU and many political changes that have had an impact. The global pandemic was very different and affected many more people emotional and physically with no previous lessons to learn from.Fast forward 12 months and while we are still dealing with strong undercurrents, the general feel is different and the world has adapted. Why is now different to 12 months ago and is now a good time to consider change?The market outlook is vastly different. The recent PwC Global CEO report analyses how 500+ CEO’s from around the world view the market conditions from 12 months ago to now. While they all agree that the threats and challenges are different, they also agree that this has also been the catalyst for opportunity, and that now is a great time to seize it.Remote working: 12 months ago most organisations were ill equipped to support occasion working from home, let alone the full workforce. Since then, companies have mastered on-boarding, socialising and positive engagement with employees through technology. When the restrictions begin to ease in different regions, most organisations are reporting a hybrid model. Some are reporting a fully remote model. So if you are waiting until you can start seeing people face to face before making that change … you could be waiting a while!Digital technology is booming: Right now there is a wonderful opportunity for people to challenge themselves and advance their standing if they work in a niche IT discipline. Digital transformation is at the front of most CIO and CEO conversations but also for talent, recruitment and people officers. Make the most of your opportunity as a subject matter expert before the landscape changes and new talent pools emerge or are developed.What the last 12 months has really been able to demonstrate, is how much a company cares about its people. What have they done to support wellbeing, your workload, and more importantly just to be there when you needed them? Some companies have really enhanced their reputation in this department and some have found it more challenging. How has your employer done?If it wasn’t right 12 months ago, chances are it isn’t now. Be brave and follow your gut. The market is in a far better place than most people realise.

Using LinkedIn to Help with your Next Job Search

Should I update my profile? Your profile doesn’t have to replace your CV and speaking frankly it shouldn’t. But it is your shop window and provides quick insights into you, your skills, and the direction in which your career is going. So, address these points towards the top of your profile – any recent certifications alongside a bio that informs people what you do and most importantly gives clues as to what you want to do next. Can you provide an overview of flagship projects which align with the work that you want to do next? Don’t over-do it. The key information must stand out, so your profile needs to be succinct. There is a fine line though and leaving too much to the imagination will mean that you might get approached for work, but not necessarily the work that you want or would be ‘casually interest in’. Market yourself Drawing attention to a new certification or sharing something interesting with your network is a great way to get you seen. However, once you start, consistency is key – as is engaging with others that sit in the same community as you. Engaging with others will encourage them to engage with you, meaning your reach will be multiplied and your own personally brand and visibility will grow very quickly. How strong is your network? Analyse your connections. Are they going to help get you to your next career move? If not, who will? Not everybody has a specialist recruiter in their network, so find one, or two – or ask a trusted individual in your network who they worked with when they moved between companies. Getting under the nose of and working with a good “niche” recruiter can open many doors and add significant value to your recruitment process. Are you utilizing your network? Lean on your connections. Are there any that work for the company that you want to join, do you have trusted people that can provide insights or referrals. Do you have a trusted recruiter that you have worked with previously? You may already have access to the ingredients that you need to find the job that you want. Think like a recruiter. Niche recruiters are always looking to add good quality people to their network and can be an invaluable ally even when you are not looking for a new position. When you are reviewing your options, make yourself easy to find. Are you job titles aligned to the industry that you work in, or the company that you work for? Do you talk about the topics that relate to your work? Are you promoting the skills that will stand you apart? Don’t feel compelled to talk about all the areas that you have covered throughout your career and try not to detail too many legacy tech areas if you are at the cutting edge of digitalization. Be interesting Very difficult to do on a static profile but if you read an article that you enjoy, chances are other people in your network will to. Share it. Utilize relatable short videos wherever you feel it is relevant to do so. Try and maintain a central theme, but don’t be afraid of being interesting to your network.

8 Tips for Your Next Virtual Interview

1. Test Your Technology: Combining Teams / Zoom meetings, home schooling and a variety of other challenges, more often than not, video meetings tend to start and finish promptly. Have you downloaded the right software? Have you tested your mic and speakers? If you are using Airpods, are they connected to the device that you intend to use? Do you have access to a power source? 2. Keep Your Virtual Identity Professional: Now is not the time to unleash the name that you are known by in friendship circles, a gaming name or any other name that distracts from you and your personal skill set …. Unless you know that it is going to be beneficial of course! 3. Dress for Success: Potential hirers want to see the professional you, the one that could be leading client engagements in a post COVID world. Looking sharp gives confidence to the hirer that you are taking the opportunity seriously, take pride in what you do and have a positive impression of the opportunity. 4. Monitor Your Body Language: It is very difficult to replicate the in-person body language that we’re all familiar with e.g. handshakes, etc. However, be mindful not to appear too casual with your body language e.g. sitting too far back on a chair, too far from the screen … or even too close. Sitting on a comfortable chair at a sensible distance from your screen will keep your posture positive and allow for good eye contact and positive body language. 5. Rid Yourself of Distractions: Not all distractions are easy to remove … your family for example! However, social media, e-mails, phone calls, WhatsApp can all wait. If you are in a house with others, set the scene and ask that they provide some privacy. There are so many more distractions available – but keep your focus on your audience. 6. Set the scene: Are you near a window? Will you blind your audience once the sunshine breaks through the clouds? Do you have any personal items in the background that you’d rather not have on display? If you are intending to use a background filter, keep it really simple. Most importantly, if you used a background filter on your last call … make sure you change it before your next! 7. Final preparation: Now that you’ve tested your tech and freed yourself of any distractions, time for the final touches. Have some notes ready for the interview – examples that you want to ensure that you speak about, background info on the people/person that you are meeting, relevant company detail … and of course your own questions. You can pin these on the wall behind the screen or have them on the table in front of you … your interviewer will never know. Keep a pen and paper ready to take any pertinent notes and come armed with a glass of water. You would in a regular interview. 8. Enjoy it: For most it is a peculiar first experience, but it will probably be the same for the person that you’re meeting. Keep any creature comforts out of sight but nearby, try to relax and enjoy the experience.

#AskStaffHost

24.02.21How closely should I align my CV and LinkedIn profile?There is no right answer here as ultimately it boils down to personal preference and what you are objective is. LinkedIn is making it far easier to be found and over the past 3 years has developed into a hive of recruitment activity.Keeping an eye on the market has also become more common place in case you are made aware of “something interesting”. If you are inclined to hear about interesting opportunities when they come up, you absolutely need to be mindful of your profile. New certifications, employers, promotions, interesting and relatable projects that do not compromise any confidentiality agreements are all worth listing.LinkedIn have made the application process far easier and more often than not, companies are accepting LinkedIn profiles in place of formal CV’s. It is also the first platform that more employers are first engaging with potential hires, so having a good shop window is recommended.CV’s are still being used in most recruitment process – particularly for companies and people seeking more detail as part of the initial screen. But the gap between the two is closing.How should I dress for a virtual interview?The same way that you would for a face-to-face interview. Some organisations have created a different policy and are informing interviewees ahead of a meeting. If you have not been informed of any changes, treat the meeting as if it is an in-person meeting.I have not worked since the pandemic broke out; how do I stand out in an interview?There are many challenges that you will have faced and overcome that are greatly transferrable and demonstrate resilience, character, organization, and motivation.Draw on the positive way in which you have overcome each challenge and combine that with your professional experiences. The things that we are doing or have done during this period will be in interview questions for years to come.Is it worthwhile applying for positions in different parts of the country or different parts of Europe?It depends upon the industry. Right now, the majority of Europe is working remotely and providing different ways of working. When things begin to normalize, not all industries will be able to continue remotely. Contrastingly others may move to a fully remote model. How many organisations will think about downsizing their office space or removing it completely?There are many organisations who have already changed the way that they work, but it is difficult to predict whether this will be a short or long term stance. Some will move to fully remote, others will be full time in the office (or with clients), whereas most will probably create a hybrid model. Naturally this will impact decision making on office spaces and office working in the coming years.Conduct your due diligence early in the process so that you are aware of the risk factors when choosing based upon a location, or interviewing with a company that has historically never supported remote working. The client will no doubt be conducting the same due diligence on you if their model has not traditionally been “work from home”.

Employee Spotlight: Q&A with Ryan Daly

Ryan has worked at StaffHost Europe since the end of 2017. When Ryan joined us, he was a trainee consultant with no prior recruitment experience. Since joining us and learning the skills required to become a successful recruiter (as well as learning and understanding his markets) Ryan has had a very successful journey in his career so far. Let’s get a little insight into one of our top billers, with a 10 question, quick-fire round.1. What job did you have before joining StaffHost Europe?Ryan: “Skilled Labourer” Although I wasn’t very skilled!2. What challenges did you initially face when you started working here?Ryan: Learning the skills to be a good consultant and understanding your market place.3. What do you find most rewarding about your role?Ryan: You can get out exactly what you put in!4. What advice would you give to a Junior Recruitment Consultant?Ryan: Come in hungry, driven and busy. These are all attributes you are going to have to keep hold of. Recruitment is a rollercoaster, don’t dwell on the losses because you will soon be celebrating a win.5. What things do you enjoy outside of work?Ryan: Coffee, football, fitness and alcohol!6. What inspires you?Ryan: A bright and prosperous future.7. If you won £2 million on the lottery, what would you do with it?Ryan: Invest, share and overindulge!8. If you had to wear one set of clothes for the rest of your life, what would you wear?Ryan: A 3 piece, you can never be too over dressed.9. You can only pick one… so, what’s your all-time favourite song?Ryan: Wonderwall – Oasis.10. If you could know the absolute and total truth to one question, what question would you ask?Ryan: Hmm, I've got 3... what happens after death? Who shot Kennedy? What came first, the chicken or the egg?"Recruitment is proactive by nature and that ripples through StaffHost, you have to be willing to put in the work and in turn you are given untold support, training and development opportunity. Your efforts are noticed and you will always be justly rewarded for them on a personal and professional level. Incentive is a big word in this business and you will be jet setting and fine dining when you hit them. I was supported massively and given the right tools to grow, and for my efforts I was rewarded with promotions from Trainee Consultant to Manager in my first two years. You will always get out what you put in!" - Ryan Daly 8 Reasons Why Recruitment is a Fantastic Career Choice:If you're considering a career in recruitment, there are few better places to start your journey than at StaffHost Europe - of course, if you're already at senior level, then there are few better places to continue your career. Upon joining the business, you will have the opportunity to work in one of our specialist teams, recruiting IT professionals across Europe.1. You have lots of independence:Yes, you'll have set targets to achieve, but how you achieve them is pretty much up to you. You'll be equipped with the most up-to-date training skills and tools, but autonomy and innovation are also available for you to utilise as you see neccessary!2. There's great money to be made:You really are in control of how much money you can earn, and those commission cheques can be quite substantial in a good month - that's on top of your base salary too! It really is true that the more you put in, the more you get out. If you're hungry and dedicated, you can have a very lucrative career - a number of our consultants who are in their mid-twenties already own houses!3. Offering life changing help:There's no denying our lives revolve around our job or career - we spend more time at work than we do at home, and the money we go to work to earn, dictates the lifestyle that we can afford to live right now (and when we retire). There's a good chance that most of your friends will have been met through work too, so changing jobs is a big deal.When you place a candidate in their dream job, and guide them through the process with advice and tips along the way, it's a great feeling to know how happy they are when they succeed. If you built a good relationship with the candidate, there's every chance they will come back to collaborate when their next career move is due too.4. Meeting new people & building a network:You're going to be speaking to new people on a daily basis, but the most interesting part is that the majority of our business is carried out across Europe, so you will be learning lots about cultural differences. This does however mean that your communication is most likely limited to phone calls, skype and emails, but there will also be times when you and your team will travel abroad for a conference or event - these will be full of people in your network, but also full of people not yet in your network - this is your time to impress them with your knowlede and charm!5. Your competitive side:If you're a recruitment consultant, the chances are that you're also a fairly competitive individual, by nature. You need to constantly innovate your strategy and try out new and interesting ways to grab the attention of hard-to-find candidates - your competition will be recruiters from other companies, other companies your candidate might prefer to work for over the one you're pitching to them, as well as your teams mates AND the other teams at StaffHost Europe... the leader board comes with a lot of perks along your journey to the top!6. Improving clients' bussiness:Employees are at the heart of any good businesses success. If you hire someone for your client who goes on to become an incredible employee, then your client is going to be extremely grateful - there’s no denying that’s a great feeling!7. Your colleagues: It’s rare to meet a recruiter who’s a shrinking violet, which means a career in recruitment guarantees you an office full of outgoing, chatty colleagues. It’s a great environment to meet likeminded, fun people, so you'll easily make great friends that ensure every workday (and work night out) is a blast.Your colleagues at StaffHost Europe will also have your back, even if you're in direct competition with them, we help each other out for the greater good of the company's success!8. Recruitment keeps you on your toes:Most people wouldn't describe their job to you as exciting. But, recruiting is one of the most exciting and fast-paced industries to work in and there's always something going on to keep your adrenaline flowing!__________We're currently hiring - view our 'Work for Us' page and apply to open roles.View Ryan's LinkedIn profile.
