Sparta Global

NatWest Group partners with Sparta Global to secure technology talent from diverse backgrounds and support the continued growth of its One Bank Mortgages (OBM) platform. This video follows some of the 12 Spartans specialising in Software Engineering, Test Automation, and DevOps who were selected to join NatWest’s OBM team. Those joining were made up of women, those first in their families to go to university, and individuals from minority backgrounds. These consultants secured the opportunity on attitude, aptitude and potential alone – not prior technology experience or educational background. Since joining the team, they have converted to full-time employees at NatWest to continue their personal and professional growth – with two selected for the future leaders programme. Our CEO, David Rai, says; “Successfully hiring today’s generation of early career talent requires an understanding of their attributes, an empathy for their diverse values, and a management style that engages their interests and preferences. NatWest and the OBM team understand this ethos and together have created an exceptional environment for emerging talent to thrive and contribute to future organisational success”. 🔉 If you're interested in discussing your emerging talent needs, contact us at contactus@spartaglobal.com Watch the full video here | https://lnkd.in/esmDc94x

Joining Sparta Global in February this year, Natasha upskilled in test automation and is now an integral part of a multi-Spartan project team operating in the public sector. 🏆 Natasha has been named one of our Spartans of the Month for October for her being "fantastic to work with". Her line manager says; 🗣️ "Natasha is locked in and seems to know exactly what she’s doing, asking all the right questions. All the team get on well with her and I feel this is testament to her character.

When Ekaterina McNeill began her Psychology studies at University, she wouldn’t have predicted a future working in Data and a successful career kickstarted in the public sector – but that’s exactly what happened! Kat's line manager told us how she got to grips with complex code with little to no documentation, worked out how to access data that was previously thought inaccessible, and modelled it through a workflow. Her skills have already made an impact on site and we can’t wait to see what Kat does next! Click to read our blog with October Spartan of the Month Kat 👉🏻https://lnkd.in/e3SAYuM2
