HackerankAt Salt we truly believe in diversity and inclusion. This includes using tools such as Hackerank to

give candidates with limited experience but the highest ability the chance to apply for roles. 9/10

of other recruiters wouldn’t even consider them.

Hackerank is a web-based coding test. It allows us to send out tests in over 29 different

languages, to candidates to complete. This should help to erase the theory that CVs can tell if

someone is good at coding or not.

The main features are:

-Automated code-checker

-Plagiarism detection

-Reports and results that show exactly how long and at what point the candidate wrote code.

We have had huge success with Hackerank, having a senior IOS developer role test topped by

an 18 year old student with zero experience. The candidate beat IOS developers whom had up

to 8 years development experience.

Stack OverflowStack Overflow is a question and answer site for programmers, we use this as tool to contact

potential candidates and present opportunities to them. Any developers at the forefront of tech

will have visibility on this, so it’s a great avenue to find top talent. We also use Stack Overflow for

advertising vacancies and introducing ourselves to prospective clients with whom we have had

great success.

Meet-upsWe are hugely involved in the Meet-up community, driving thought leadership in the hosting

and sponsorship of key events. We set the agenda and invite key thought leaders to share their

views of the market. By being an integral part of this community, Salt increases engagement both

with clients and candidates.

GitHubGitHub is a great place to find candidates and view the code they have produced. Many

candidates will have a full portfolio of their projects and code they have worked on. We are

able to send these profiles directly to clients who can see clearly the level of a candidate’s

programming skills.

What We Do Differently

“Salt are a great recruiter and a lot of fun to work with. As a client, I’ve found them to have a solid understanding of the candidate market and I can work with them to fill even the trickiest of roles. Definitely worth a call if you’re looking to fill any digital roles in your business.”

JENNIFER GABRIELLE-CHAPMAN - TALENT AND RECRUITMENT MANAGER AT HAVAS MEDIA

Filling highly technical roles demands deep market knowledge: at Salt we understand the talent you need and the technology they use.

Unlike other recruitment agencies, we take the time to ensure candidates are tested

on their applicable technical skills before CVs are considered, ensuring that only

honourable candidates are recognised, saving everyone time.

Product at Karhoo“I’ve worked on both sides of recruitment, hiring people into teams and as a

candidate myself. It’s a crowded market in London and difficult to stand out.

Alex manages to do that with aplomb. He’s dedicated too, calls when he says

he will, goes beyond the basics to help candidates prep for interviews, and

manages to get the job done with infectious enthusiasm and a smile on his

face.

I recommend working with Alex without question.”

Resourcing Business Partner Digital & Design – Barclays“Rarely have I worked with a such a personable,

hardworking and tenacious person such as

Fabio. He is a superb asset to his team and

has always shown he has understood the brief

and what is required of the role, and the depth

of the organisation. He has always delivered

strong candidates and I have never doubted his

knowledge in his subject area. I would have no

hesitation in recommending him should you wish to

acquire his services now or in the future”

Hannah Thompson - Homebase“Mark has been fantastic at helping us to find

candidates quickly in a very competitive market.

Within days of me having spoken to him, he had

some relevant people lined up who I’d never

seen before and I felt like he’d really understood

the brief, what we were looking for and also what

we could afford.

He’s great at keeping in contact, sorting things

out at speed and is very open.

I’d happily work with Salt again”

Richard Hill - Director“Salt have been instrumental to me as I expanded our technology team.

I have made over 40 technology hires through Salt in the past 2 years across a variety of different skill sets.

Salt have supplied quickly when required whilst being mindful of our high standards.

I intend to continue using Salt exclusively for all my future hires…

Why would I need to look through anyone else?!”
