Just recently a new client, a leading IT Security company were looking to fill roles on a new 24/7 Support Desk working as a Junior Security Analyst. It’s another great success for Just IT, what did they like about the Just IT candidates which made them worth employing?
Our client realised they wanted to recuit from Just IT after meeting all suitable candidates during an assessment day on site at out centrally based offices in London. The client liked the fact that all students of the Network Professional Program are fully focused, enthusiastic and skilled when it comes to all things IT.
With the course being an intensive course it showed our client that the students are a ‘quick study’ and can handle lots of information in a short space of time, also along with the soft skills training that all Just IT students receive it gave our client the peace of mind that the successful candidates have the necessary inte personal skills to not only get along with working colleagues but also clients that they will be supporting.
After running an assessment day with 8 candidates and taking 4 through to a face to face interview, the client outlined the top 3 things that Just IT students demonstrated over other candidates that had interviewed previously (and not employed!!)
- Attitude - The enthusiasm and willingness to learn
- IT Skills - They felt that the course covered all concepts that candidates need to be successful in any role including being successful in a networking position
- 4 Week Placement The client utilised the placement to be able to assess if there gut feeling was correct. They took on 2 candidates at first and realised very quickly that the skills learned and the aptitude demonstrated they were very confident to offer them a salary of £23,000.
It’s a great example of how people can get a great job in technical and network support through Just IT.
