Land Remediation Services

A small land remediation business wanted to upscale and implement a new IT and Telecom infrastructure throughout the company and across their various locations.

The Challenge

To achieve their immediate and somewhat pressing goals, the company needed a group ICT manager who was familiar with implementing major changes and upscaling a growing internal infrastructure. In addition, the successful candidate also needs to not only manage this process but also be equally comfortable supporting others through the change. 

The operations director decided, upon a recommendation, to turn to Xist4 to help source the candidate they really needed. He additionally saw this as an opportunity to streamline several processes to bring about a faster more efficient way of working. The ideal candidate would need to have the resilience to steer a path towards unifying disparate and siloed parts of the business. 

The Solution

Upon meeting the team, the operations director felt reassured that Xist4 appreciated the diverse industry that they operated in and could minimise the recruitment process for them. Since the focus for this role was not solely IT skill based, the Xist4 team spent time sourcing candidates who held managerial experience coupled with solid communication skills and happy working in such a challenging environment. 

Initially the team advertised the role on a select number of major industry job boards for a month, in addition to undertaking a targeted search and reviewing candidates on their own database. To ensure the right candidate was selected they personally qualified each candidate before recommended them to the operations director. As part of this process, the Xist4 team confirmed that candidates were aware that for the right person this role offered an opportunity for them to shape and develop the future of the business itself.

The Result

This thorough search process meant that only those candidates, with the right balance of experience and attitude, were invited to attend an interview with the client. As a direct result of Xist4’s meticulous qualification process, the company secured the person they needed quickly and have been delighted with the candidate.
