E-learning Training Company

To urgently find two web developers for an online e-learning training company.

The Challenge

As one of the market leaders of e-learning solutions for over 200 organisations, developing engaging online courses is key to this company’s continued success. To cope with the increased demand from their clients, the Bath based e-learning company initially tried to find candidates themselves to little success. As the need for two junior e-learning web developers became even more pressing, they enlisted specialist Bristol based technology recruitment agency, Xist4 to do this on their behalf.

The Solution

Xist4 met with the client and immediately assigned a dedicated account manager to work with them to appreciate the full scope of the role and the technical requirements needed. With a detailed brief completed, the Xist4 account manager focussed efforts on only sourcing junior/graduate level professionals based in the South West of England, or those willing to seriously consider relocating to the region. Xist4 sourced potential candidates by posting optimised adverts on university graduate job boards, social media platforms, and their own high-traffic website. Their aim was to maximise the search for candidates whose online portfolios demonstrated a real passion for development and digital technology.

The Result

With such an immediate need, Xist4 knew from experience in technology recruitment that the candidates would all need to be willing to quickly assimilate knowledge and ‘hit the ground running’. They looked for competence and confidence by conducting one to one interviews with all potential candidates. The interviews helped to assess their suitability for the role and to determine if they would fit in with the culture of the company. This process of short-listing candidates ensured the right candidates were sourced and employed in a very short time frame.
