Hiring permanent IT talent? Here’s how you find just the right professional

Has your company recently gone through a robust transformation? Do you have a high turnover in your IT department? Has your organisation seen explosive growth lately? In all these scenarios, a permanent IT colleague can be important to increase stability in your teams. But where do you find such a person and how, as an HR team, do you react to changes fast enough?

Luckily you don’t have to deal with this alone. As an IT recruitment agency, CHRLY specialises in finding just the right profiles. We not only have the best consultants for project-based support but are happy to help with permanent hires, too. Our people-first strategy is key. Read on to find out how we make the difference.

1. We seek the perfect match between culture and strategy

‘You hire for attitude, you can always teach skills’, says a famous quote from author and keynote speaker Simon Sinek. While the profiles for IT professionals, just like other positions, pay a lot of attention to the fit with the culture of the organisation, above all employers want to hire talent that contributes to the company’s long-term goals.

Both requirements must play a central role in the recruiting process, but HR often lacks the time and resources to go into this deeply enough. At CHRLY, we support HR professionals by carefully analysing whether a candidate has the right attitude to fit in with the culture and goals of an organisation.

People take centre stage in our strategy. Of course, every other recruitment agency says that too, but we reinforce this vision by investing heavily in long-term relationships with both clients and candidates. As a result, we have a particularly diverse talent pool.

2. We offer an end-to-end approach

Only need help with the pre-selection and assessment of candidates? Or are you looking for onboarding assistance as well? You decide the extent to which we lend a hand with your recruiting process. We can offer both end-to-end and modular support. In each case, we look at the challenges you are wrestling with and then discuss the areas in which we can back you up.

Even when we place a permanent consultant in your organisation, we aim to guarantee successful collaboration in the long term. So we are happy to help with candidate follow-up. And that brings us to a third aspect to which we at CHRLY attach great importance: retention.

3. We focus proactively on retention

With permanent hires especially, retention must always be given the highest priority. If a member of staff leaves your organisation, it can cause exponential damage. Not only do you lose valuable knowledge, but it often triggers a snowball effect so that other colleagues start looking for other jobs, too. The right hire can reduce turnover and create the stability your team needs to grow.

How do we increase the retention level? We work proactively by listening to our clients’ underlying message. We analyse your needs and use our experience with other candidates and companies to adapt your recruiting story.

AI can play a part here, too, by recognising certain patterns. If it turns out that most young talents leave your organisation after three years, then this has to be a major focus of attention. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad. Data alone are not enough. It’s insights that make the difference.

4. Hybrid or permanent?

To support clients to best effect, we can also offer a hybrid approach. With our Try & Hire formula, a worker can first be taken on temporarily and then hired on a permanent basis. Whatever you need, our recruiters operate very flexibly to find the right fit for your organisation and to guarantee that a permanent hire actually proves to be the right match permanently.
