Genius Required

I read this hilarious article on Hereisthecity.com. Apparently bankers never wear double breasted suits as it’s a “fashion faux pas” – wise words from a man who walks around apparently thinking that he has a red pen behind his ear as “it stands out”. You’ll note in the picture accompanying the article that the pen is, in fact, well more of a green colour….

We’re working on a different approach to recruiting here at the UK office. Having been in touch with many candidates over the last year, I’ve encountered those that are interested in Lab49 but not ready to move yet for numerous reasons. Whilst that is quite understandable, wouldn’t it be great to have an offer of employment available to you for when you are ready to move?

If you are looking for a new technical role but aren’t quite ready to move, contact me anyway. We will happily guide you through the interview process and then, when you are ready to move, welcome you to our team. Due to having gone through the interview process, you would, effectively be pre-approved.

We’re of a size that means that we don’t have to follow the bureaucratic and rigid processes that stifle some larger companies – we respect that candidates work in different ways and are always willing to work with them during our recruitment process to find a mutually agreeable outcome.

It’s now even easier to get in touch with Lab49’s London office. As part of my goal of making us more available to candidates, I’ve created a new Googletalk account to enable people to get their questions about Lab49 answered in a discreet and efficient manner. Rather than waiting for my reply to your email, you can now add me to your Googletalk list if you wish – my ID is: lab49careers and I can be contacted throughout the work day.

As a reminder, you can also mail me at: marie.downes@lab49.com or call me on 020 7248 9499.
