WHO I AM
I’m a proud dad of a two year old boy called Samuel. With his boundless energy I spend most of my spare time trying to keep up with him. I was fortunate enough to be able to work from home since he was born and spend that time with him that I would never have otherwise gotten and you can’t get back. I currently split my time between home and the office and love what I do. I love working for DataX and have been here since the beginning. I’m a massive Southampton FC and Green Bay Packers fan (both equally as painful to support). I also enjoy a spot of golf when I get the chance!
“I’ve been working with this agency for a number of years now and the reason I keep returning to this agency is due to the quality of service they provide. DataX is not simply about putting CVs in front of you. They take time to understand the business and they know the type of candidates that we are looking for. For me a recruitment agency is all about the person I’m working with. This is why I value the fact that I’ve had the same contact from day one and I can honestly say that Ben Palmer has been an absolute pleasure to work with. The thing I like about Ben is that he listens but is not afraid to push back if he thinks a candidate is worth an interview. With him it’s not about the margins, it’s about the relationship. Ben has a great understanding of the data centre industry and we have successfully filled a number of technical vacancies, such as Facilities Managers, Data Centre Managers and Construction Project Manager. Ben is not simply a recruiter, he is also my sounding board if I need some insight or trends within the sector. Over the years DataX has become my go to agency for the majority of our technical roles and that is all down to Ben and his ability to build great relationships.” - Senior HR Manager EMEA for Global Data Centre Client Side Operator
Testimonial
“Love working with Ben and have done for a number of years over different contracts, always manages to find good candidates, who fit our brief, the market has been tricky this time, but he's still managed to find us a great candidate. I've said to Ben before I like working with him as he's not overly pushy, I feel like he would rather the quality of the candidates do the talking and there's nothing worse than being hassled by agencies.” - Account Manager for Major Data Centre Service Provider
