What were they looking for?
Alliander are continuously developing new services and applications on cloud platforms to improve energy management and customer services.
They needed to replace 2 of their most experienced cloud engineers, whilst minimising any negative impact on the project.
It was vital to act fast. They wanted to have a month’s handover period to ensure knowledge was transferred effectively.
Alliander chose to partner with Foxtek exclusively, after a direct search yielded poor results.
How did we help?
We visited the manager on-site in Arnhem to understand how we can improve his recruitment process.
We discussed the issues he was facing. He felt that they were out of options.
We put forward an exclusive candidate who was working with us to find his first freelance role. He stood out as he had specific industry knowledge from working for a competitor, and had several connections at Alliander who were able to vouch for him.
The candidate had a two-stage interview and was offered the role the same day.
