A technical interview, not an interrogation
Run by someone who does the work, on real cases. You are allowed to say « I don't know »: that is a useful answer, and it disqualifies nobody.
It is the easiest promise to keep and the rarest in this trade. Every application gets a reply, and the reply says why. The rest of this page explains what happens between the two.
Our commitments
What you can expect from us.
The client's name before the interview
You will know who you are going to see, what for, and with which team. Nobody should sit an interview without knowing whose door they are walking through.
The salary on the first call
The range is stated up front. If it does not suit you, we have saved each other three interviews.
Nothing goes out without your say-so
Your file goes to no company before you have said yes to that company, by name. It is a principle, not a favour.
The trades
The people we place.
Infrastructure and service work. If your trade is not on this list, write anyway: we would rather tell you no clearly than leave you without an answer.
- Systems engineer — Windows Server, Linux, virtualisation
- Network engineer — switching, routing, firewalls, Wi-Fi
- Support technician, on site or remote
- Cloud and automation — Azure, AWS, scripting, tooling
- Security — hardening, monitoring, incident response
- Architect and technical project manager
- Database and backup administrator
- First job: yes, where the role suits it and says so
The sequence
How an application runs.
- You
You send it
A CV is enough. A cover letter is not required; three lines on what you are looking for are worth more than a page of formalities.
- Together
A twenty-minute call
What you do today, what you want to do next, your real constraints — travel, languages, notice period, salary. Frankly, in both directions.
- Response8
The technical interview
An hour, with a technician. Situations you will actually meet, not riddles. You get our write-up whether the answer is yes or no.
- Response8
The introduction
We tell you who, what for, and on what terms. You say yes or no. Without your yes, nothing goes out.
- Response8
The answer
Within 5 working days of each client interview. If they are slow at their end, we tell you so rather than leave you waiting in silence.
Your data
What we do with your file.
A CV is personal data. It is treated as such.
- It is kept for 2 years from our last exchange, then deleted
- It goes to a company only after your agreement, company by company
- You can ask to see it, correct it or have it erased, at any time
- No contact with your current employer, ever, on any pretext
A request about your data takes a plain e-mail, and is handled within thirty days.
Nothing that suits you today?
Send it anyway. Not every role we open is published, and most placements start with an application that arrived too early.
