How we matched a Senior Software Engineer from Microsoft with a small Danish company ↴ The candidate was extremely skilled - and a good match. But he had 4 specific expectations for the contract: 1. No probationary period 2. A salary that was above the client's budget 3. At least 30 days of vacation (2 days more than the client's offer) 4. A signed contract before the end of the month. And there were only 2 weeks left in the month. On top of that, the client was on vacation in a different time zone. Not the easiest situation - but we're used to that at Kure Search 😁 The first thing we did was to create an honest dialogue where we could talk openly about the concerns of both parties. With that approach, we were able to meet the 4 expectations like this: 1. No probationary period: ↳ We suggested to the client to extend the notice period by one month. The candidate accepted this. It also showed a commitment from the client that meant a lot to the candidate. 2. A salary that was above the client's budget: ↳ We advised the client to highlight their consistent history of bonus payments. This addressed the candidate's concerns about the offered salary. 3. At least 30 days of vacation (2 days more than the client's offer): ↳ We made the candidate aware of an additional day off (which he had missed) and that overtime could be exchanged for extra days off. In this way, the candidate got the vacation days he wanted. 4. A signed contract before the end of the month: ↳ We conducted the negotiations online - respecting the client's vacation. This resulted in the contract being signed after only 2 weeks. What we actually did was: → Advise the client, based on our many years of experience → Find what really mattered to the candidate → Listen, so that both felt understood and valued. It may sound simple, but it's not. And it can sometimes be difficult to do without a neutral third party who can build a bridge. Have you found a dream candidate where you still can't meet in terms of expectations, or are you still looking for the dream candidate? Then let's have a chat - maybe we can help! 😊

However, you should have a working knowledge of the relevant technologies And stay informed about the latest threats and trends. → What steps are you taking to protect your company from cyber attacks?

Kvindernes kampdag: Hvorfor er IT stadig en mandsdomineret arbejdsplads? I dag, på kvindernes kampdag, er det på tide at sætte fokus på en skævhed, der fortsat præger IT-branchen: Den lave andel af kvinder, der søger ind på IT-uddannelserne. Tallene taler for sig selv: 👉 Kun 33% af de studerende på danske IT-uddannelser i 2023 er kvinder* 👉 Andelen af kvindelige IT-studerende er kun steget med ca. 5% de sidste 10 år* 👉 Kun 23% af alle IT-specialister i Danmark er kvinder ifølge IT-brancheforeningen Hvorfor er dette problematisk? En mangfoldig arbejdsstyrke er afgørende for innovation og succes. Vi går glip af talent, perspektiver og potentiale. ”Hvis Danmark fortsat skal være blandt verdens førende it-samfund, skal vi have større diversitet på arbejdsmarkedet og flere kandidater i spil,” siger studiechef på ITU, Lene Rehder. Hvad kan vi gøre? 1️⃣ Vi skal ændre den måde, vi taler om IT på og det image IT har udenfor branchen. Vi skal vise, at IT er mere end bare kodning og gaming. Det handler om at løse komplekse problemstillinger, skabe nye løsninger og forandre verden. 2️⃣ IT skal allerede i folkeskolen være spændende og kreativt. Børn skal lære digitale færdigheder til fremtiden og se at IT er for alle. 3️⃣ Vi skal synliggøre de mange succesfulde kvinder, der arbejder i IT-branchen. De kan inspirere andre kvinder til at følge trop. Sammen kan vi skabe en mere lige og inkluderende IT-branche. #kvinderneskampdag #ITbranchen #itu #dtu * Kilde: ATV's beregninger pba.

Did you know that … ... two identical job postings within a short period of time can send unwanted signals to potential candidates? They might think: - The requirements in the advertisement were unrealistic - The employee quickly resigned - The job isn't attractive enough Although that might not be the cause. But the candidates don’t know that. And yes, candidates looking for a new job notice if a job advertisement is posted twice in a short period. You can compare a reposted job advertisement to taking a house off the market to put it back up shortly afterward. Without making any changes to the house, the price, or the advertisement itself. Why would it work better to sell the house this time? Instead try: 1. Being realistic about if: - The job seems attractive to qualified candidates. - The advertisement is clear and specific. 2. Honestly answering these 2 questions: - Is it realistic that we can attract the type of candidate we're looking for? - If yes, what specific aspects should we highlight in the advertisement? And remember: It's not just salary and titles that can attract the right candidate. It can also be: - Working with skilled and inspiring colleagues - Attractive location and short commute time - Internal career opportunities - New exciting technologies - Personal development - Flexible working hours - Meaningful tasks So what makes your company attractive to talented candidates?
