RECRUITING THOSE WHO

HAVE THE EMOTIONAL AS

WELL AS MENTAL RESILIENCE TO SUPPORT

CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE IS AS IMPORTANT AS GETTING THE

RIGHT SKILLS . help to attract candidates like Per . Interestingly , we found that once recruits from a specific trade started the apprenticeship , word of mouth through their own networks brought in more new applications .

Targeting the untapped potential of skilled tradespeople and providing them with specific data centre experience will help the data centre industry recruit outstanding individuals with motivation , attitude and skills to be highly successful . Our efforts at STACK have already raised the profile of the industry as one offering opportunity and interesting roles for a wide range of trades .
But it ’ s not just skills that count . Hiring those with the right attitude and approach is also key . Following a summer of heatwaves and with ongoing energy crises , the critical nature of data centres has never been more clearly in focus . Recruiting those who have the emotional as well as mental resilience to support critical infrastructure is as important as getting the right skills . To fill these gaps , we have expanded our search to hire people from other mission-critical industries .
The war for talent will continue and is likely to intensify . I believe that the approaches outlined above enables us to find excellent , motivated and dedicated talent to fill the roles we need . STACK has a purpose-driven , values-based work environment where people from all walks of life can contribute and be recognised , we will always attract and find the people we need to prosper . �
