IT Systems Modeller - Feb 2010

Background: 

Chris Chilton from Jenrick IT placed Robert as an IT Systems Modeller. This was his first contract through Jenrick IT.

At the time Robert was seeking a new position as his last project had just been completed. The client required a candidate with MODAF/DODAF skills and such contractors were in short supply.
    
Chris placed Robert at a UK-based company, which was solely created to provide the Future Strategic Tanker Aircraft (FSTA) service to the UK Ministry of Defence.

Over the course of the entire 3 year project Chris was in direct contact with the Line Manager which added immensely to the recruitment process, culminating in the placement of another Consultant to supplement the team.

Robert was so impressed with the service he received from Chris and also the way Chris had developed a network in which he was able to find out about company vacancies.


Testimonial:

"Chris did a great job of 'old school' keeping in touch with his contacts and genuinely helping them meet their needs.

Through Chris's networks of contacts at VT Group he learned that one of the companies that VT part owned was in need of a MODAF modeller.

Chris then connected the dots with the work I was doing at ABN Amro with MODAF/DODAF-based enterprise architecture.

There was no 'selling' involved - just good traditional making connections and following through.

Hey presto - he got me placed as a Consultant. He continued to keep in touch and also placed a second consultant to work there for me too.

A number of firms I've worked for have been very keen on the Preferred Supplier List, excluding anyone not in their inner circle. My experience with Chris is that PSLs are often not so useful as can they prevent a good man like Chris from making connections and introductions that help everyone."
