Listen to our latest podcast  - trends in the digital and technical recruitment market with Georgia Hart

What are the biggest challenges in your particular market? How to stand out?

  • Increase in competition 

  • You really need to make yourself stand out from the crowd

  • In the dev space, the candidates can be in very high demand, they often get headhunted a lot

  • Keep your LinkedIn profile updated and include the latest technologies you’re using 

  • If you keep your details current, you will be contacted for the right roles

  • Everyone knows everyone, it’s all about who you know rather than what you know

  • Networking is so important, it’s about contributing to the community

  • Go to conferences and attend meet-ups, talk and get to know people 

  • Keep your CV short, and to the point, 2 or 3 pages is more than enough

  • People want to know and see what your technology experience is, bullet point this rather than writing paragraphs after paragraphs 

What trends are you seeing?

  • Everyone is loving React, and Javascript frameworks

  • The product space is popular, everyone wants to work on longer-term projects

  • Product companies and the start-ups

  • Up-skill where required to show your passion and desire to learn

  • Personality traits are favoured, more than your technical capabilities 

  • Go to meet-ups, candidates working on their own projects outside of work. It’s not just a job but because they love it! Evidence of personal projects may get you the job

  • Clients want people who are engaged with the company 

  • Technology has become a lot more creative

What really impresses you?

  • Probably the places where they have previously worked

  • Their technology stack and broader knowledge 

  • Demonstrating you can do the skills but also have a desire to learn 

  • Be honest and transparent of what you can and cannot do

  • Being very specific with their project examples and responsibilities
