Company Profile - Softcat Limited

Overview

We are The Sunday Times ‘Best Small Company to Work For 2010’, so you may already think that you might like to join our team. But before you apply, we want to tell you more about the company and what makes us so special.

Career Opportunities

We help you to progress in your career

We offer outstanding opportunities for career development, and give hard-working, high-achieving employees the opportunity to move into senior roles and acquire and develop skills. New recruits can quickly become team leaders, acquire general management skills, and recruit and manage their own teams before becoming managers and looking after a number of teams. We continually train and educate our employees to ensure they are the most knowledgeable and highly accredited in the industry. We will also support them in attaining relevant qualifications.

Our recruitment process

Your application is important to us and we will make every effort to keep you informed at every stage.

We manage all vacancies through our Marlow head office, and always follow the same recruitment process:

• If your initial application is successful, you will be invited to attend an interview. For some roles, this may involve attending one of our open days. If this is the formula for the interview, we will let you know what to expect from the day.
• During our process for the second interview, we carry out short psychometric testing and a member of our HR team will discuss your results with you. You will also have the opportunity to meet members of the management team. We will discuss and consider your career aspirations and experience for the role you are applying for.

What we offer

We reward you for your hard work

Hard work is important to us. We expect you to be agile, responsive and passionate about providing exceptional levels of service.

We want you to enjoy yourself
