Data Centre Hiring Presents Unique Challenges That External Providers Can Rarely Solve

You often can’t choose a “glamour” location for where your data centre is located. This creates significant talent acquisition challenges of moving skills to you. Developing local talent can take 2-5 years+. If your workforce plans demand faster growth, it’s essential you look beyond local or developmental talent pools.
To hire for your data centre, you will likely consider using external suppliers. But no agency on the planet can offer the level of specialism required to hire niche skills in every region you operate in. Their solution is also inherently inflexible, usually costly and often ineffective.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which countries and regions can you hire in?

We can deliver anywhere in the world. Our innovative fractional / flexible recruiter network model allows us to offer a truly global service. We’ve supported clients across six continents, and offer unrivalled flexibility to react fast to evolving workforce plans. 

What types of roles can you support with hiring?

Whatever your role or project, we deploy recruiters with matching expertise. We provide you with a dedicated, “in-house quality” recruiter for your project within days. Our network of 1,700+ flexible / fractional talent acquisition professionals are located worldwide, offering an unrivalled range of functional and regional capabilities.

Can you support high-growth companies?

Yes. Clients come to Fractal when they need to ensure access to talent at scale and quality, despite having uncertain or highly changeable growth plans. We recognise that early-stage and scaling businesses evolve and adapt fast. It can be difficult to build or source the right suppliers for talent acquisition. Fractal is a single supplier who can support whatever scale and specialisms you need to hire within, anywhere in the world.

Who are your recruiters?

We’re a collective of 1,700+ outsourcing, agency and in-house recruitment professionals passionate about innovation, quality and effective delivery. Our recruiters offer experience and specialist focus that you would normally only get with in-house resources, but with flexibility to access only when you need. And they come with a “there is no option but to fill the role” attitude all great in-house recruiters have.

How does Fractal compare to building an in-house TA function?

We are the flexible bridge between founder networks driving talent acquisiton and you building your own recruitment function. If your companies’ growth relies on adaptability and the ability to scale in multiple areas or geographies, an in-house team isn’t necessarily the right solution. Fractal offers the same quality as an internal TA function but on a much more flexible basis.

How does Fractal compare to a recruitment agency?

We provide in-house recruiters not sales consultants.We guarantee to be 20% cheaper than agencies. We are not limited by our employee base as we don’t have one. We currently cover 84 countries and 61 specialisms via our network of recruiters. Our recruiters are experts in their fields and given their geographical spread, we are both deep niche specialists and global. Most agencies are one or the other.

How does your fee structure work?

Fractal offers a “no fixed cost” investment model. And we guarantee to be between 20% – 50% cheaper than alternative third-party suppliers. Access to Fractal talent acquisition specialists is fully flexible, meaning you’re never paying for resource that is not delivering hires for you.

Steph Robson

COO

steph@wearefractal.io

With 5 years at a global leadership development consultancy under my belt, where I managed large-scale talent programmes, I then spent 8 years in the recruitment world. My journey took me from agency recruitment to internal talent acquisition, and RPO onsite with a global media giant. I've had the pleasure of working with organisations ranging from ambitious startups to large enterprises. I’m driven by helping drive growth and performance, and my sweet spot to do that is by combining my passion for operational excellence and my commitment to delivering fantastic service to every organisation I partner with.

Mark Lee

CEO & Founder

mark@wearefractal.io

With 25 years of experience in the recruitment industry, I have built global outsourcing businesses, owned successful recruitment agencies, and advised cutting-edge recruitment and tech start-ups, helping them scale and secure funding. My journey includes investing in numerous tech companies, completing a management buyout (MBO), and authoring a book.

Driven by a passion for innovation and social impact, I founded Fractal, inspired by the comment that I was "too much of a socialist to be a recruitment business owner"—the highest compliment I’ve ever received.
