ByteSnap – a software development and electronics design consultancy based at the new Longbridge Technology Centre, has strengthened its team with the appointment of a new graduate software engineer thanks to recruitment specialists Grad Central.
The company is an expert in embedded systems, creating innovative software and electronics for its customers from initial concept right through to prototype design and testing. To support its business development over the last few years and its future growth plans, ByteSnap approached Grad Central to find a bright and confident graduate that demonstrated they possessed the ability to be the future of its business.
Dunstan Power, Managing Director and co-founder of ByteSnap, commented: “We have a number of senior engineers, so our recruitment strategy was very much focused on bringing in new young blood that we could invest in and nurture into the role. We identified that a graduate would be ideal for this based on their educational achievements and the new ideas and fresh perspectives they could bring into the company. Lots of our work is customer facing so the ability to engage was also essential.
“The service provided by Grad Central was second to none, providing us with a number of candidates that were perfect for the role. We chose Andrew Hogan to join the team as a graduate software engineer. Andrew, who lives in Selly Oak and has a degree in Computer Science from Birmingham University, had exactly the right skills we were looking for.”
Grad Central caters for graduates of all ages, whether you have recently completed your studies or have a number of years experience working in industry. For any business in the West Midlands thinking about taking on a graduate, Grad Central offers an expert and competitive recruitment service. To complement this, the company has also recently launched a new online ‘Jobs Board’. This enables businesses across the region to advertise their own job vacancies on Grad Central’s website completely free of charge, giving them access to thousands of degree educated job seekers.
Lucy Cheatham, Marketing Director at Grad Central, commented: “The £750 million regeneration of Longbridge has seen the emergence of a number of technology-based businesses like ByteSnap that are breathing new life into the area. This has resulted in a sharp increase in demand for graduate level skills, which is obviously great news for the regional economy. At Grad Central, we can help businesses every step of the way to fulfil their recruitment needs.”
