Flexible project solutions & specialised IT expertise

I had been working with iStorm regularly since 2010 during my time at my previous employer, Bisnode, for the recruitment of various IT profiles. In September 2019, we found a bilingual System Engineer through iStorm for D.A.S. (Dutch-speaking with a good command of French). In March 2020, we recruited a second bilingual System Administrator via iStorm. The advantage is that the consultants at iStorm are specialists and therefore have a very good understanding of what our IT Manager is looking for. The matching is done exceptionally well—virtually every candidate they propose is invited for an interview. iStorm has been a very good partner for me over the years, and I can definitely recommend their work.

We have been working with iStorm for many years to fill IT positions. The last four IT hires over the past eight years have been successfully handled by iStorm. I have also recommended them to other companies who have worked with them and are equally satisfied. The most important positive aspect is that they truly listen to our needs and only send us CVs that are genuinely worth reviewing. This has saved us a lot of time during the hiring process.

We have been working regularly with iStorm since 2012 to find various IT profiles with a view to permanent hiring. In February 2020, we started a new search through iStorm. This time, we were looking for a senior developer. Laurence from iStorm was able to present three suitable candidates within a relatively short period. The COVID-19 pandemic and the March lockdown brought some operational challenges, but ultimately Thierry started with us on May 11, and we are still very satisfied with his start at Sodexo. My experience with iStorm has always been positive. They are responsive, provide clear feedback (even when something goes wrong), and have a good understanding of the technical aspects.

iStorm and its recruiters distinguish themselves through their very human approach and completely transparent communication. All proposed candidates were always presented in a clear, precise, and honest manner, without any embellishment. Each presentation included both the strengths and weaknesses of the candidate. Tests were also conducted beforehand. Within our company, recruitment is based more on values and the affinity and/or feeling I have, rather than on the actual technical skills. This is an area where iStorm has always been very flexible, and in most cases, the candidates met these expectations. Feedback and follow-up after interviews or recruitment were always handled within a more than reasonable timeframe, and the reasons for rejection were analysed by the recruiters so they could easily communicate this to the candidates. Since April 2019, we have hired 3 full-time permanent developers through iStorm, and these 3 people are still part of our teams. We have never had to ask them to look for replacements.
