As the UK’s leading independent job site attracting over 3 million unique job seekers every month, CV-Library has a stellar development team that aids them in their continuing expansion. Eligo is proud to have worked with CV-Library for over 5 years now, providing them with Open Source Talent to build their team and develop a close relationship in the process. Because of CV-Library’s continual growth, recruiting top talent for their team is an ongoing process and in order to secure open source candidates, we utilise our continual talent pipeline and extensive developer network.
CV-Library recently had the need of a Mid-Level Perl Developer to add to their growing team and Eligo Technology were able to fulfil this need by taking into account the challenges they face when sourcing and recruiting top Perl developer talent.
Challenges
As CV-Library is based in Fleet, they find that their location is a continual problem and struggle to find top Perl developers located or willing to travel to the Hampshire area.
Recruiting Top Perl Developer talent can be difficult as they are hard to find and are located primarily in the London area- which in turn offers higher salaries.
Eligo's Approach
Having worked with CV-Library for many years now, we fully understand the needs, culture and values of the company. When recruiting top Perl developer talent that would be the right culture fit for CV-Library we actively source via our continual talent pipeline.
This is achieved through several channels that we utilise;
Events and Networking : The Perl Community
We have actively forged lasting relationships and connections within the Perl Community, through attending and speaking at events such as The London Perl Workshop. Utilising the extensive Perl developer network and referrals within it, we can identify top Perl developer talent that would thrive within a company such as CV-Library.
Python Social Media and Direct Marketing
With our dedicated marketing team, we actively engage with potential candidates within the wide online community, whilst sharing advice, industry news and available positions.
Creative and Targeted Ads
Eligo Technology has substantial access to multiple generalist and specialist job advert and candidate search platforms. Whilst implementing advert writing techniques that bring in the right candidates that have relevant skills, experience and technical passion.
The Outcome and Beyond
Through our continual pipeline of talent, we actively sourced a successful candidate and placed a Perl Developer with CV-Library. When we first identified and screened the candidate’s C.V it was clear that they were not the usual candidate that we would put forward. However, after speaking with the candidate, identifying their needs, skills and accomplishments to date, we identified that they would be successful in the role of Perl Developer at CV-Library and become a valuable addition to their team. In other instances, it may be the case that if the candidates C.V. did not fit the criteria, some companies will pass up on the opportunity to secure top developer talent. On this occasion, our relationship with the CV-Library meant that they trusted our judgement that the candidate was an ideal fit for their development team.
Throughout our talent pipeline process, we kept CV-Library up to date on new developer candidates that came through our various pipeline channels, whilst offering feedback to ensure the ideal candidate was found.
Eligo has established a long lasting close relationship with CV-Library and as a result, we are their preferred recruitment partner, recruiting for 100% of their developer roles. With our finger on the pulse of the Per jobs market, and our continual pipeline of talent and engagement within the Perl community we are always able to offer ideal candidates to CV-Library.
