30 CORPORATE VISION / Issue 1 2020 , Keeping IT Real! Innovative IT recruitment consultancy, REAL Technical Solutions, was recently named as one to watch in the Recruitment Elite 2019. Recruitment Director and foundingmember, Alan Parker, gives us an insight into the industry. REAL Technical Solutions is an established IT recruitment consultancy, formed by a group of like-minded, experienced professionals, with the core focus of providing a quality service to both clients and candidates. Alan Parker, Recruitment Director, tells us a little both more about the firm and its success story. “Our approach is simple,” he begins. “We are constantly networking, building those all- important relationships, with the highest calibre individuals. “We do this by strategically combining a wealth of industry knowledge and technical expertise to consistently produce outstanding results and keeping our clients and candidates at the forefront of our minds. We are the preferred supplier to a wide variety of clients, from specialist SMEs to global organisations.” REAL Technical Solutions offers the traditional services of search & selection, networking and advertising campaigns and, with experienced directors at the helm, the firm covers most areas of IT, from Development and Infrastructure, to Project and Business Management, using techniques such as networking & referrals; business media forums (LinkedIn etc); professional LinkedIn services from receiving regular training at the LinkedIn offices; advertising campaigns Nov19310 both online and in the local and national media; social media; database selection via its in- house CRM system; retained selection, and headhunting. “Most importantly,” embellishes Alan, “we work hard for our client’s businesses and have an always accountable outlook!” As well as looking after its clients, Alan is quick to point out that looking after the firm’s dedicated staff base is equally important to guarantee continued success. “Our ethos is based on building close business partnerships, with the belief that communication, honesty and loyalty is the key to success. Everyone at REAL Technical Solutions enjoys their work and is encouraged to be professional and organised, but more importantly, do it with a smile on their face and treat people the right way.” With the current uncertainty in the market place at present, and Brexit and IR35 looming, REAL Technical Solutions has taken the initiative with clients and has been providing short and long-term advice around managing their approach to resourcing and protecting their business and workforce. “We don’t just serve our clients, we have also been meeting with our current contractors to provide advice, guidance and reassurance in that we will help them in every step of the up and coming changes that are upon us. “The same is said to candidates that we work with (both contract and permanent), whether we place them or not. We are certainly finding a lot of people are now approaching us for guidance, as recommendations from the help we have given to others. “Let us take the strain and manage your full resourcing needs, working with your business to develop the best fit for purpose processes and hires within your permanent, contractual and even full project scoping requirements.” Contact: Alan Parker Telephone: 0203 086 9030 Web Address: www.realtechnicalsolutions.com
