Dynamic Edge has become quite selective in its hiring of high-quality consultants. In 2015, of 927 applicants, we hired only 27 of them. That’s only 2.7%!
To get a bit of context for our numbers, I decided to investigate the hiring rate of other service-based companies. I came across a statistic published by Deloitte—who considers themselves as having one of the toughest interview processes across industries. I was surprised to find out that their hiring rate was 3.5%– a number that is considered very selective within recruiting circles. What should that mean to you? That we are concerned with recruiting only the best consultants.
Just because someone has experience does not mean they can be a DynEdger. I’ve interviewed countless numbers of IT guys that just don’t care enough—people with 10 or 15 years’ experience working in an enterprise IT department that aren’t up-to-speed with the latest tech problems and innovations and people that just want a job—their hearts and heads are not in the work. Even though someone might look great on paper, our rigorous 4-step interview process makes sure that an applicant is who he or she says they are before we give out any offer.
And we are ALWAYS interviewing—even if we don’t have a position—we recognize the need to maintain, groom and grow a high-quality staff. We have always make sure we have a Rolodex of highly qualified candidates in the event that a position opens up.
With the consistent growth of potential hires entering the IT field every year, DE commits itself to hiring only the crème-de-la-crème because we want to be the best of the best. We know that to be the best we have to hire the best.
We make sure our employees Get it, Want it and have the Capacity to be successful. They get that your business is an important member of the DE family, want to help make your businesses successful by innovating and problem-solving and are capable of following through regardless of the complexity of the issue. These three attributes make DynEdgers great people to work with and make them the best in the business.
What I mean by best is people that not only have a deep knowledge of tech, but folks that sincerely care about you and your team on a personal level. They get satisfaction knowing they are supporting and helping the success of your organization.
