A huge thank you to Vitaly Sharovatov from Qase for contributing this great article to our Develocity blog page. It gives us much food for thought about the careful selection, setting up and usage of tools in order to achieve that harmony between disparate teams. If you have an article that you think would be relevant for our page, or some insights you would like to share for those looking to get into developer tools or those already in it...please do reach out to myself or Natalie Harper. We're always on the look out for genuine and interesting content. #DeveloperTools #DevTools #QualityAssurance #Developers

💼 Happy Monday, LinkedIn! Did you know that 85% of jobs are filled through networking? 🤝 As a recruiter, I see firsthand how building meaningful connections can open doors you didn’t even know existed. This week, I’m diving into exciting new opportunities across the iGaming and Financial Industry and connecting talented professionals with their next big career move. It’s always fascinating how a single LinkedIn message or conversation can change someone's life trajectory. What’s your take on networking in today’s hiring landscape? Is it still as critical as ever, or are new tools changing the game? #Recruitment #HappyMonday #CareerGrowth #Monday #MondayMotivation #Network #LetsConnect #Hiring #HiringNow #TalentAcquisition #Recruiter #Careers

For the moment Volition are no longer actively taking on any SaaS/Software Solutions FinTech firms as we have signed two recently and have one more really exciting company in the hopper. We actively recruit for about 10% of the firms in this market which seems like a good number. However, due to some internal changes towards recruitment, we've also lost a couple of steady Market Data / Analytics / Research clients in the last 6 months. So I'm looking to partner closely with any up & coming Data firms in 2025. If you're hiring in this market and would like to assess external options please drop me a message? #marketdata #dataanalytics #equityresearch #creditresearch

A few weeks ago I spoke with a CTO that had been looking for an Embedded Software Engineer for 4 months. 🧐 They had tried to advertise the position on multiple channels -> 100+ applications -> 3 interviews -> 0 hires. 😶 They had tried to work with three recruitment agencies -> 13 CVs received -> 3 interviews -> 0 hires. 😑 Yesterday afternoon the only candidate I submitted, was hired. 😶‍🌫️ What was the difference? A 30 minutes long scheduled and prepared discovery meeting vs "I don't have time for a call" given to the other agencies. ✅ After the meeting, I understood the company, their mission, their culture and what type of candidate would fit perfectly in their team. 😊 This allowed me to present the company as if it was my own, while the other agencies only knew what keywords to put into LinkedIn recruiter. 😎 If you "spray and pray" your vacancy to recruiters, they will "spray and pray" it to the market and will then "spray and pray" you with irrelevant or mediocre CVs. 😑 Minimising communication will not save you any time. ✅ Instead, choose a niche recruiter specialised in what you're hiring for -> set up a discovery call -> and be positively surprised. In every industry in the world, customers try to maximise value and minimise time wasted for the money they spend. 👇 In recruitment, customers try to minimise value and maximise time wasted for the money they spend.

"We have lots of candidates but just not the right ones" A big theme coming from my conversations with hiring managers and TA teams across Europe - especially ones hiring really Senior Engineering talent, and Leaders too. It is clear things have changed in Tech hiring in the last 18 months. Companies are super picky, and won't budge on their requirements and their salaries. Many hiring managers complain of inflated salaries and job titles - and not enough impact coming across in interview performance to match it. But as the market picks up something will have to give. How are other hiring managers and TA teams in Tech finding it? #techrecruitment #softwareengineering #Ventellect

🤖 Using AI during an application and interview process At Monzo Bank, we've noticed candidates increasingly using AI tools during their job application and interview process. We’ve decided to provide some external guidance on our approach if you’re going to use AI while applying for a job to Monzo Bank. Our approach is to accept that candidates will increasingly use AI and our guidelines focus on how you can use it effectively, rather than discourage you from using it at all. We're publicly sharing our approach in a blog post for anyone who is considering applying to Monzo, or it could be a helpful resource to any other Hiring/Talent teams who are thinking about how their company approaches candidates using AI during an interview process. We don't have an expectation that candidates should use AI to get a job at Monzo, but if they're going to be using it anyway, this is our guidance on how it can best support them in their job search 😊 Our approach is all about refinement, not replacement ✨ Mehmet Yilmaz Harriet Jackson 🫶

They’re finding it tougher than ever to scoop up the qualified candidates they need. It seems like even the brightest minds need a bit of a recharge these days. 🌟💻 Check out the full scoop here!

Struggling with High Recruitment Loads? During my research on current recruitment challenges among hiring managers from the US, Canada, and Europe, I discovered a common issue: a high level of irrelevant applications on job boards. Let's break down the typical funnel for a Software Engineer vacancy: 300 to 600 applicants on average 60% totally irrelevant (360) 25% could work out (150) 15% good profiles to process (90) 3% perfect match (18) The main problem is the TIME spent reviewing these numerous CVs. Let's face it, most hiring managers review up to 50 profiles, pick the best they find, and move forward. This approach feels more like hiring the "first fit" rather than the "best fit." The solution is simple and effective. Our recruiters dedicate 40 hours per week (sometimes more) to sift through the crowd and present you with 10-15 highly relevant profiles. We assist you throughout the recruitment process, saving you valuable time. On average, every 4th person we present gets hired. Would you rather sift through 600 profiles and hire the first fit or let us help you recruit the best?

Feeling overwhelmed by hard-to-fill roles? 😓 We know the struggle. You've got a pivotal project, you're in desperate need of top-tier talent and you can't find that rockstar candidate. One of our clients, a leading UK fintech firm, shared how they spent months trying to hire a Lead Data Scientist with niche expertise in machine learning. Despite numerous interviews, they couldn't find the right fit. They were losing not only time but valuable momentum on their projects. We identified the perfect candidate in 2 days. The project thrived, and the board was thrilled. 🌟 Reaching out to recruitment experts like Provenatus can turn your hiring nightmares into success stories. Here's why: ✅ We have access to the top 1% of passive A-Player local talent. ✅ Our speed of response means no more prolonged vacancies. ✅ We build long-term relationships, ensuring quality retention. ✅ We offer a satisfaction guarantee, if someone leaves we replace them for free! Why go through the hassle on your own? Partnering with Provenatus means you get swift, quality results that fit your culture like a glove. Let's alleviate your hiring headaches.
