CLIENTS & TESTIMONIALS

Here at Glocomms we pride ourselves on our one to one relationship with our trusted technology partners.

Our pledge is to bring access to candidate pools, previously inaccessible to our clients. The vast majority of our

relationships are on an exclusive basis; this allows us to focus on the high level quality of our candidates, who are

fully qualified and reference checked. Working exclusively allows us to bring the most value to your business.

Our main focus is on clients in the following three areas:

a. Systems Integrators

For our System Integration clients, we understand the reactive nature to their business. We aim to complete

shortlists, within a few hours of receiving the requirement. In most cases, multiple consultants will service our

integrator projects to ensure a prompt delivery.

“I have had the opportunity to work with Matt who supported specific client needs with skills and resources. Whilst some

challenges were thrown at him by the changing business requirements he was able to quickly adapt and deliver, meeting my

expectations. He was also making a point to communicate effectively and efficiently. I would recommend Matt's work to

anyone having resourcing needs and would happily work with him again.”

b. Telecoms Operators

We work with Mobile Network Operators across Europe, most predominantly within the Integrations arms of

their businesses. We understand the need for ever changing technological skill-sets and the constant need for

technical advancement.

“I had the opportunity of successfully collaborating with Matthew for contracts in Ireland and Switzerland. I believe

Matthew is one of the best Heads of Recruitment in the telecom sector I have ever worked with. His professionalism and

commitment to obtaining a favorable outcome are nothing short of exceptional. He was always able to successfully bridge

the gap between his candidate and the companies with which he collaborates and consistently met the expectations of

both sides.”

c. Enterprise Clients

Our enterprise clients can be wide ranging from Governmental Institutions, Financial Institutions, Automotive

Companies and Luxury Goods brands. As Glocomms are focused on skill-sets rather than industries, our

candidates can be used in many different sectors.

“I have recently been working closely with Robert in recruiting a specialist freelancer role with very specific requirements.

From the very beginning I found Robert to be professional, helpful, honest and consistently delivered very high quality

applicants, one of which we decided to bring on-board. I wouldn't hesitate in highly recommending Robert and look

forward to working with him again in future.”

Head of Service Delivery (client) - Private Software Company

WHY WORK WITH GLOCOMMS?

1. Glocomms has dedicated Consultants assigned to specific technical markets. For example, in

Europe we have 11 consultants devoted to Big Data Architects & Developers. This niche focus

allows us to be faster and more accurate than our competition.

2. Multiple coverage in similar markets. You can use the Glocomms team for Permanent and

Contract requests.

3. We have a full time back-office for Payroll and Compliance based in London. We have recently

implemented an automated online timesheets approval process for both our clients and

candidates called InTime.

4. We have full access to the resources of Phaidon International; including job boards, the

marketing and back office team, and the reputation of the multinational group. This allows us to

utilise the benefits from being both a specialist boutique and an international market leader.

CANDIDATE QUALIFICATION

We aim to save our clients time during the recruitment process, by only working with top candidates.

We undertake the following steps before sending you a candidate:

1. Obtain CV and validate experience and any gaps in the CV.

2. The vast majority of candidates that we work with are direct referrals from other tried and

tested sources. Good people know good people.

3. Where possible we interview the candidate face to face to better understand the candidate,

their motivations and their technical suitability for our projects.

4. Undertake competency based questions to understand their experience and reason for

leaving/availability, what they are looking for, previous project details, rates and expectations.

5. We undertake the relevant verification of documents – copies of passport, limited company

details, certification of incorporation etc. This ensures that a compliant solution is possible

before the candidate is submitted to the client.

6. Take a copy of their active certifications, where possible.

7. We also take technical references and when going through the offer management stage we

look to attain copies of business references.

COMPLIANT SOLUTIONS

Glocomms will only operate in markets that we have a fully approved payroll solution by

Phaidon International’s experienced Compliance Director, Gail Brown.

We understand the importance of taking local legislation and regulations into account when

placing in multiple countries around the world.

All Glocomms’ candidates will have the correct permit and insurances in the country in which

they are working. We engage with in-country partners for the vast majority of our Contractor

Pay roll for Employed or Self-Employed Solutions.

As of 2015, we are able to payroll candidates ourselves in Switzerland through our office in

Zurich.
