All of Softwire's software developers and software consultants are top graduates from the UK's leading universities - predominantly Oxford and Cambridge. The vast majority have first or upper second class degrees in maths or computer science, a natural aptitude for computer programming and strong interpersonal and team-working skills.
Softwire implement a rigorous recruitment process to ensure that we employ only the most capable of applicants. We select employees based on their innate ability and future potential as much as their current technical knowledge, and value highly the soft skills that enable employees to work productively and effectively in a commercial, team-based environment.
Once recruited, we provide all the training our employees need in-house using a variety of methods and resources. We view training as an ongoing activity throughout an employee's career and are continually encouraging our employees to develop new skills and take on more challenging roles to make the best use of their abilities.
Our annual staff retention rate is well over 90% which is astonishingly high for the IT industry. We believe this to be a testament to our enlightened approach to people management, and it directly benefits our customers by allowing us to provide consistency of staffing over long periods or for repeat work.
