Our Relationship

For more than 6 years now, Applause IT have worked alongside Radius. As you may imagine, that has seen several evolutions of the working relationship - sometimes collaborating directly with technical line managers and at other times working alongside their talented internal talent acquisiton team. 

That is where we pick up the story for this particular case study - looking at the relationship with their Senior Talent Acqusition Partner who looks after digital - covering recruitment requirements across IT, Tech & Data. 

We put a few quick questions to them to find out a little more about how the collaboration between the internal recruitment team and a recruitment agency works.

4. What is it about our service that you like about working with Applause IT?

5. Lastly, how do you see the market for hiring for Radius and in general in the next 12 months? 

We’re in a period of growth with regards to our Fuel Solutions and Telematics business areas, which in turn will mean growth of our technical teams. I anticipate a similar level of hiring across IT as in 2023.
