Overview

This short #BCTalent Stories video features Node4 Digital, the part of Node4 where many of its acquisitions from the last six years have ended up. The speaker describes a business focused on cloud, AI and security, now at 550 people with rapid growth planned.

The speaker explains why the BC Talent program fits Node4’s strategy. The program sourced and qualified candidates against a stated requirement, and delivered more candidates than Node4 needed. New hires became chargeable consultants or joined the support desk within weeks. The speaker calls the speed at which they started adding value record-breaking and describes the program as mature.
