Marlow: Softcat rings in 2015 with plans to hire over 40 new staff before Easter
IT infrastructure provider Softcat has made a New Year’s resolution to hire more new staff in 2015 than in previous years, and is expecting 40-50 new recruits to have joined its ranks by Easter.
Managing director Colin Brown says he hopes that Softcat's existing reputation as one of the UK’s best employers will help with attracting some of the best talent out there.
“Last year our own staff rated us so highly as an employer that Great Place To Work ranked us as the UK’s number two workplace,” he said. “We’re delighted to have earned this reputation, especially given the extraordinary lengths we go to look after our staff. We give them world-class training and serious incentives which, in turn, help us to deliver customer satisfaction. We have a current Net Promoter Score (NPS) of +67.
"With five UK offices, we’ve plenty of scope for recruiting throughout the year, and we hope to find at least 40 new candidates by Easter.”
