This week was another 1st for Storm – one of our much loved family, Dan, will be leaving the team at the end of June, heading for the super-awesome Headscape. Whilst losing one of our family is a massive disappointment to the whole team, news of his departure wasn’t the biggest surprise of the day…
As you’d expect, we announced Dan’s move on Twitter and within 90 minutes, I had 5 CV’s in my inbox. The quality of the applications coming through was phenomenal, especially for people in their early 20′s, it really did open my eyes not only to the kind of people waiting to jump into our industry, but also to the amount of talent around the Bath area.
Having lived in Bath for almost 6 years now, and having been a part of the ‘tech / digital’ scene for about half of that, I was starting to feel like I knew / had bumped into / recognised the majority of people who live in Bath and work in our sector. How wrong I was.
Suffice to say, I can’t wait for the interviews – so watch this space. A new Stormtrooper will be joining our family shortly!
Update: For anyone reading this who wants to meet fellow Bath people, as Phil suggests below, Storm are hosting a tweetup on the 16th of June: http://tweetvite.com/event/btu5
Good luck with the recruitment. I’ve only been in Bath a few months – but am also amazed at the pool of talent in the area. Great place to be – and thanks for hosting the Bath Tweetup – sounds fun. P
Headscape is quite a career path! Shame you are losing someone but good luck to them and well done for landing that job. Recruiting eh? Bath would be one hell of a daily commute for me…
If nobody wants to pinch your staff, then you’re not hiring the right people. We’re proud Dan was 1st pick for Headscape
That’s an awesome way to put it!
Bath IS great – and not just for talent (we also have a big bath)
