Kainos Launches Biggest Ever Recruitment Drive

Belfast N. Ireland June 4th, 2013 Thriving Belfast tech company Kainos has announced an ambitious, three-year growth plan which will see its headcount and revenues double. As part of its expansion plan it's on a large scale recruitment drive to source the brightest and best Northern Ireland has to offer. In addition to appealing to the class of '13 at Northern Irish universities, Kainos is also on the lookout for the best talent among senior development professionals right across the Province. The firm has long prided itself on the calibre of its workforce, which it credits for the company's strength and depth of technical and commercial success. The company's talent is highly qualified: 98% of staff are university graduates and over 80% of staff hold first-class technical honours degrees. One of the reasons the company is able to attract these exceptional candidates is the work culture, management practices and benefits it offers its 400+ strong workforce. That's no idle boast: Kainos went straight in at number 55 in The Sunday Times Best Companies to Work For 2013 which recognises the UK's most engaged and supportive employers. Kainos also enjoys an impressive track record in sponsoring local talent through its commitment to such activities as its Code4Derry and AppCamp schemes which both engage with bright university students via an opportunity to gain first-hand commercial experience creating socially useful projects for citizens and community. It's also announced an Earn as you Learn scheme offering well-paid work and mentoring to top A-Level students while funding them through university. For Kainos Head of HR, Paul Hamill, 'As we continue to grow, we need to attract talented people to join our team as all our success is founded on bringing on the very brightest and best. 'We're 100% committed to creating a workplace where employees thrive both personally, professionally and love to work. 'We will continue to strive to support the ability and potential of all the wealth of local talent here in Northern Ireland.' As part of this proactive campaign to support the next phase of its growth, the company has launched a dedicated micro-site on the opportunities it's offering both senior development professionals and talented students: that site and accompanying set of videos can be found at kainosjobs.com.
