Predominantly, the team have focused on mid to senior-level positions, sourcing talent for niche roles in a range of locations across the globe, including Chief Engineers and High Voltage Power Multifunctional Director.

Sourcing business critical roles for data centres
Data centers across the globe are on a journey to reducing their carbon footprint and creating more sustainable growth plans by reducing the impact data centres have on the environment. As a result, Vantage Data Centers knew they needed to hire an experienced sustainability specialist who could come into the business and assess the issues that needed to be addressed, review running costs and evaluate the full supply chain and business processes to establish where improvements and changes could be made to be more sustainable.
Given the nature of the role, the data center recruitment team expanded their talent pool of potential candidates by reviewing talent across various industry sectors. The main focus of the role was for the candidate to have a strong background in sustainability campaigns leading on large-scale projects.
After screening and assessing the suitability of a high number of candidates, the data center recruitment team shortlisted three highly experienced sustainability candidates, two of which were invited to interview with Vantage Data Centers.
Following successful interviews with both candidates demonstrating the value they could bring to the role and support Vantage Data Centers with their sustainability goals, one of the candidates was successfully appointed Head of Sustainability.
People really are what our data centers are all about, because by supporting the missions of our customers, we’re helping people connect with each other all across the world; meet virtually, whether as co-workers of family; start and run businesses; fully enjoy new technologies; safely archive photos and documents that are truly priceless, or simply irreplaceable to one person.
