InterExGroup

Having made 1,192 placements in 38 countries within the last two years, IT recruiter InterExGroup operates from London, Amsterdam, Paris, Miami and New York, with expectations to open in Texas and Dubai this year.

An example of the company’s international savvy: when InterEx opened its Miami office, the team were able to deliver much quicker placements than their US clients were used to through access to the company’s worldwide register of strong candidates.  But to hire exceptional local talent, there was a need to provide local employees with “vastly superior” benefits to those typically offered in the US. InterEx’s benefits that exceed US offerings include 15-30 days’ holiday, paid menstrual leave, self-improvement loans and a 24/7 employee assistance line.

In addition to these benefits, InterEx revamped its in-house training to ensure training is available at all levels. InterExcellence has four pillars – engage, enhance, excel and elevate – to reflect different career stages. Engage offers new starters eight weeks of training, coaching and assessments, including personal mentoring with a top biller. Employees join Elevate, InterEx’s managerial development level, six months before a promotion, equipping them with the tools to ensure success in their new role.
