Who are DataX Connect?

Jul 7, 2021

We are excited to announce the launch of DataX Connect! Over the last 14 years, Highfield has achieved some incredible milestones and accomplishments within the Technical Engineering and Construction recruitment market and we continue to do so. However, in response to the Data Centre sector rapidly expanding. We recognised that there was an opportunity to ensure that our overall positioning in the data centre sector needed to be more specialized. It is an opportunity for us to work uniquely within the sector and in turn ensure we provide an exceptional service to both clients and candidates. Subsequently, through thorough communication within our company we decided to rebrand our Data Centre team as DataX Connect.

Why now?

The success of the industry has provided opportunities across hundreds of countries, including the UK. The forecast growth rate is 17% annually and in 2019 $170bn was spent on the industry. It is providing countless employment opportunities across the world, and we plan to work with leading data centre organisations and connect them with the best talent in the industry. We understand the challenges faced when recruiting talent, retaining staff, and job seeking in the data centre market. We offer much more than simply a recruitment service.

Despite the uncertainty that COVID-19 has brought, the move to digitization has accelerated, stimulating investment in building data centres across the world. For us, we saw this as an opportunity to be innovative and a chance to position DataX Connect as a global data centre recruitment specialist.

Why change from Highfield Professional Solutions?

The rebranding process was carried out with the intention to communicate clearly exactly what we do in the sector. At Highfield, we have had a great success with securing leading clients. We want to build upon our strong, trusted relationships with our clients and candidates and provide an even better service that adds real value to their recruitment process.

Becoming a specialist in the sector and operating in specific markets, our knowledge and experience ensures that we find the best possible solutions for clients and candidates. We work globally to connect employers and professionals together. To do this effectively, our rebranding process has enabled us to create bespoke recruitment solutions that are flexible, agile and adaptive to your needs.

New website & Logo

The design of the new website will allow our current and perspective clients and candidates to find useful information about the markets we work in as well as the recruitment solutions we offer.

Additionally, we built the website with the thought in mind that we wanted to provide as much value to people within the sector, as well as promoting the industry as best we can. We did this by creating a Media page which informs you on everything you need to know about Data Centres including: the history, growth forecast, challenges, finding vacancies, perks and opportunities as well as videos introducing our team members. Not to mention, we have blog content, an industry newsletter and a weekly ‘Inside Data Centre Podcast’ created by our Director, Andy Davis. He interviews people in the data centre sector and discusses their career, as well as what advice they can share with anyone looking to work in the sector. The response and feedback has been incredible, click here for his latest episode with Matt Gurr.

Our goals

The outcome of the rebrand is to become a global market leader in data centre recruitment. The new logo and website helps us to showcase our expertise and dedication to providing the best service to our clients and candidates. For us the opportunities will be endless. By becoming a niche brand we can create more opportunities for not only our staff, but for people around the world.
