About Us
Founded in 2009, Vantage Talent Solutions supplies software developers and software engineers across all languages, databases and operating systems. We also have a specialist team that hire your internal talent acquisition staff.
We operate as a partner to our clients with the following models: contingent supply; contract or permanent, retained search and on-site dedicated talent acquisition – this can be either a dedicated member of our team, or a permanent member of staff.
We strive first and foremost to be a value driven recruitment agency. Not only in the way we treat our candidates, our clients and our colleagues but also in respect to the environment and our community. We invest heavily in our staff to ensure we uphold the 5 principles we endeavour to work by in every step of our business practices.
Our Values
Honesty encourages open communication and that's what we strive for and we believe strongly that this begins at the leadership level.
HONESTY
When you sign up with Vantage, as a client, a candidate or a staff member, you become invaluable to us. In return, we will do our best to give you our time, effort and full attention to help get you where you need to be.
COMMUNITY
Though the terms are not interchangeable, this core belief carries inclusion too. An inclusive workplace doesn’t just have a diversity of people present, it has a diversity of people involved, developed & empowered.
Our goal is to balance the planet, our people and profit to produce success and viability in the long-term. We check our suppliers to maintain sustainable purchasing policy in our office, we set ourselves yearly reduction targets and we monitor our investments to ensure we are not inadvertently supporting fossil fuels, deforestation or weapons.
When Clients, Candidates or Employees don’t feel that their requirements, ideas or contributions are heard, valued or taken seriously, they will eventually leave. We strive to go that extra mile for our people, to be here to listen, think and guide in all capacities.
