Watch the video of how we’ve helped Bespoke IT Solutions Ltd recruit 20 team members:
The challenge
Reed has worked with Bespoke IT Solutions Ltd for three years recruiting for several temporary and permanent IT support roles.
Bespoke IT Solutions is a fast-growing IT services company that produces bespoke solutions based across many different technologies for their customers. Founder Natalie Alden has over 20 years’ experience in outsourced IT services, and the company has developed a fantastic working relationship with Reed - using us to recruit for a variety of roles across the business.
“We want the perfect person for the role. We wanted the right fit for our company, customer and the right fit for our team itself,” said Jade McFarlane, Third Party Service Manager, Bespoke IT Solutions.
The solution
After approaching Reed, Bespoke IT Solutions was referred to dedicated technology recruiter Kelly Macey, who works in the company’s local Reed office.
Kelly said: “Working with Bespoke is a fantastic challenge. My first job, as with all my clients, is to really get to know the company and the skill sets needed to help that business thrive.”
Using this knowledge, Kelly then worked with Bespoke IT Solutions to write precise job descriptions to ensure the right professionals were reached. Kelly added: “Knowing what the client wants is vital, without that information a client is unlikely to get the expertise they need and a candidate that matches their company culture.”
When filling the roles needed for any client, Kelly uses her local market knowledge and our national reach to source the best people for the job. Whether accessing Reed’s database of thousands of technology professionals, or searching her own network of passive candidates – she finds the right tech professional every time.
James Cox, Service Manager, Bespoke IT Solutions, added: “I have recruited a number of staff through Reed for Bespoke IT Solutions. It’s a service where they get to know you, they want to know you and your business. And I have to say, all of the candidates that I have had through Reed have been fantastic and really excel within their roles. Namely I have a Project Manager, Keisha Thomas, that we recruited last year through Covid and she has gone above and beyond and the impact she is having on the company is fantastic.”
The results
Over the last three years, Reed, in particular Kelly Macey, has worked hard to source 20 technology professionals for a variety of roles within Bespoke IT Solutions.
From infrastructure team leader to business analyst, Kelly has ensured all temporary and permanent staff she has sourced are the best of the best – an important factor when recruiting for any fast-growing company.
Jade concludes: “Reed provide the level of service that we’ve come to know, we’ve come to expect, and we’ve come to love – which is why we consistently keep coming back to them.”
