Harmonising magic with technology: Meet the new I.T.skillfinder

By Nadia Owen, Online recruitment company 4MAT, Business Communications Executive

The famous commentator on science and technology Arthur C Clarke once said that ìany sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.î The global community certainly has come a long way since traditional tools and machinery; weíve witnessed the transition the world has made since the abacus, to analogue computers, to now be in the digital web2.0 era. What we now see as old-fashioned equipment was originally met with awe, as these technological milestones seemed bizarrely impossible and magically enchanting at the time.

Set up in 2003 and with a 8.5 million annual turnover, I.T.skillfinder is a long-established recruitment consultancy that has made visual magic with 4MATís latest technology available to recruitment websites. Their recently launched site (www.it-skillfinder.co.uk) draws on strong complementary colours and modernised symmetry to create an attractive and smart design that is visually appealing to mainstream visitors, candidates, and their clients, who range across the banking and financial services, to those within the manufacturing and telecommunications industry using SAP/ERP technology.

Distinguishable from the usual recruitment crowd by the effortless usability of their sector functionality, it is clear that I.T.skillfinderís passion for precision and focus on simplicity is echoed across their business strategy, into their web representation, and channelled into their client and candidate relationships. Posted jobs are evidently ëownedí by an individual recruitment consultant – unlike other recruiters in their sector. This willingness to share information in a positively transparent manner is reflected across the entire website, and sets I.T.skillfinder apart from its competitors.

With a business network and candidate database that extends across the Middle East and Europe, this agency prides itself on top-tier recruitment with a personalised service that provides relocation support and advice for international placements. This attention to candidate detail proves beneficial to candidates and clients alike.

ìAt a time when most recruitment companies are suffering from cutbacks, we are predicting our net profit to increase by 50% for this financial year. We have made a significant investment in our branding as well as a new website, which we firmly believe will be an asset in achieving this prediction,î says Grant Brummer, Director of I.T.skillfinder. ìThe website includes searchable job listings and sector skill pages which will attract high-calibre candidates and clients who have an interest in our specialist business areas.î

The synergy between magic and I.T.skillfinder does not stop with the website. A member of the worldís most prestigious magical society, The Magic Circle, Director Grant Brummerís long-standing passion for this art form has been integral to his desire to ensure I.T.skillfinder pushes the boundaries, is visually spectacular, and provides brilliant service. The end result is this distinctively different website that, as well as providing user-friendly search and community functionalities, is uniquely stylish and has a little bit of old-fashioned magic to it.
