Does IT & Digital rock your world?

We hear you.

It’s amazing how many people who work in IT & Digital also produce their own music. As a hobby or sometimes even professionally. 

But in many ways, it’s not that surprising.

Because both disciplines have very similar creative challenges. Trying to produce something inspired and innovative while at the same time having to work within the same set of rules and structures as everyone else. 

However, when it comes to recruiting for the IT & Digital industry, many of the longstanding, established ‘rules’ of our profession no longer apply. Simply because of the staggering pace of technological change that is taking place.

In fact, one of the things we find most interesting about working in this sector is that professionally we simply can’t stand still either. We’ve had to tear up the recruitment rulebook and come up with fresh new ways of doing things ourselves.

But there is one thing that is unlikely to ever change, however good AI gets, is that recruitment is about placing people and not machines. It’s about putting the right people together. 

So let us introduce ourselves. The future is exciting, and hopefully we can be part of yours.

Niven Batchelor

HEAD OF EMERGING MARKETS & TRANSFORMATION

One of the things I like most about my job:  No matter how long I’ve worked in the tech business, pretty much every time I meet a client or a candidate, I learn something new. Things are changing all the time.

And of course, few things can change a person’s life as much as changing jobs. And while it’s a big responsibility, I love knowing when I’ve really found the right thing for people.

When I’m not at work: You'll often find me leading raids in online games or tending to my garden. Yes, I do my best to cultivate both digital and actual ecosystems!

Andi Louw

HEAD OF CYBER-SECURITY & CLOUD COMPUTING

One of the things I like most about my job: I thrive on meeting and interacting with different people from all over the world. Each with unique skills, experiences and stories. It’s incredibly rewarding to build relationships with them and know that I can play a part in their career journey.

When I’m not at work: I’m an avid gamer, but I also love diving into DIY home projects: transforming spaces hopefully with a bit of creative flair and certainly with a lot of hands-on effort!
