Comments to Suppliers: Recruiting notes:
- Ok to target entry level candidates, recent graduates etc.
- Data center experience is a ‘nice to have’ not a ‘must’.
- Candidates wishing to break into this type of work should highlight any certifications they've achieved, even with no prior experience.
- The first 1-3 days of the assignment are onsite working with other team members. There will be mandatory training modules to complete which may include quizzes.
- Candidates should understand that 80% or more of their role will be manual in nature as this is not a standard IT position (they should expect to be unpacking equipment and doing installations).
- Ok to target candidates with work experience in something like retail, food service, construction (for example), but not necessarily a data center background.
- Ideal candidates will demonstrate good work ethic, good attention to detail, and good problem solving skills.
