🔶 Technical Business Analyst (Contract) - MS Team Planner/SharePoint/Jira - Outside IR35 - Home-based (infrequent Midlands travel) 🔶 Very Interesting contract here for someone with strong analysis skills and experience working with Team Planner, SharePoint and Jira. The assignment is to: 1) Work with stakeholders to analyse what needs to be migrated/deleted from Jira & Confluence before they are decommissioned. 2) Migrate the documents/information from Jira & Confluence, to Team Planner and SharePoint sites respectively. Bonus points for any Power Automate experience (not essential), as there are ambitions of automating some tasks in SharePoint & Planner.

Issues for Technology professionals in the Current UK economy Here are some insights on the current recruitment obstacles faced by technology professionals in the UK: Quarterly Recruitment Outlook: According to the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), hiring difficulties have eased, but significant concerns persist1. In the first quarter of 2024, 62% of UK firms attempted to recruit, up from 59% in Q4 2023. However, fewer firms reported recruitment difficulties (66% compared to 76% in Q4 2023).

I've got the Monday blues now 😔 Just read how a newly established recruitment firm within Financial Services are claiming the following: "We aim to combine the ability of contingent recruitment with the high touch and data-led executive search methods. We'll do so by putting our clients at the very centre of everything we do." Just to be clear, a contingent model, although the right path for many hiring needs, cannot replicate the structured and fully commited approach of executive search. 🧐 Any reputable Executive Search firm works in partnerships with their clients, its a stewardship, guiding clients towards optimal hiring solutions. Without the foundation of commitment, the process reverts to a contingent model, which is, by definition, "subject to chance." 🎲 Here's two points to consider if you're struggling with this... and there's plenty more! 🤾‍♂️ Typically, 1-2 dedicated individuals will work on an executive search mandate for 4-6 weeks, conducting research, outreach, assessment, and negotiation, all coordinated with continuous feedback loops and management information transfers. 🔍 We can only commit to this process if the client does too. 🤾‍♀️ Executive Search doesn't necessarily cost more than contingent. Often, fees are comparable and Executive Search will have far improved rebate/replacement terms which significantly reduces client risk. 💸 There is a better way if you want it... #wealthmanagement #privatebanking #ifa

Which Med-Tech providers will be ready to assist the NHS with its digital transformation agenda in 2025, given the £3.4 billion investment in 2024s budget ? In the 2024 Spring Budget, the government announced a substantial £3.4 billion investment in NHS digitisation, specifically for expenditure on data and technology. This investment will enable the rollout of technology and digital services to improve access, waiting times, and patient outcomes. By comparison, in 2023, the UK government committed a £30 million investment in innovative medical technology for the NHS, a drop in the ocean compared to their 2025 commitment! But which of the many tech players in this space will have the necessary sales, marketing and operational staff in place in time to engage with the NHS and assist with this transformation? Med-Tech providers need quality Business Development Professionals in the field now, in order to demonstrate the value their respective solutions can deliver to improve our NHS. As we get closer to 2025, it's going to be increasing difficult to hire "health sector domain" sales professionals; as the relatively small number of people with this experience will be in employment. I wonder how many UK healthcare SaaS providers and consulting companies will be ready! #healthcaresaassalesrecruitment #nhssectornews #medtec #salesrecruitment #springbudget #saasrecruitment #hiring #salesvacancies #ae #businessdevelopment #accountdirector #cro #salesleader 😀
