Our Retail Technology Recruitment

The retail industry has to transform to survive in the new digital landscape. Retailers have to truly reimagine their business models, making the right decisions investing in the right technologies to meet their customers’ expectations and stay profitable.

Ever-increasing levels of personalisation and analysis of customer data for targeted and highly relevant marketing will be a trend. This will extend far beyond email with in-store POS utilising Bluetooth near field communication tailoring shoppers experience in real-time.

Voice technology combined with AI will become more powerful and vital to compete with giants such as Amazon, Google already leading the way with voice search.

Adopting new technologies is key to staying ahead and meeting changing customer expectations. Here are some strategies for effective retail transformation:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML): Use AI/ML to optimise supply chains, personalise customer experiences and improve decision making.

TESTIMONIALS

What our candidates say

I’ve been working with Next Ventures for almost 3 years and in this period they have shown a very professional and yet agile approach. They are very well connected with the key players within the automotive industry including higher levels of executive management. Based on that ability to quickly understand the needs of their customers they provide suitable profiles within a short amount of time. I’ve found Next Ventures to be very responsive and closely following up on the topics. They’re very responsive, always to the point and clear in communication to their customers.

Mark Baijens, Director Embedded Software ADAS
Next Ventures went to great lengths to make sure I was the right candidate for a sought after position, as well as making sure that the company was right for me. The recruitment turned out to be a very good fit both for me and for the recruiting company. I was also impressed by how Next Ventures and its employees showed great dedication and professionalism during but also after my successful placement.

Petter Claesson, VoIP Technical Consultant
I found Next Ventures to be true professionals and one of the best recruitment consultancies I have worked with in my long career. From the outset they were very clear about the technical requirements of the role, had a detailed profile of the company they were recruiting for and certainly understood the data market well. The consultant I dealt with was especially helpful in dealing with the contract negotiations from both sides, and even had time to meet with me during the interview process and post job offer. I would certainly recommend other friends and colleagues within the industry to use Next Ventures as I know they will not be disappointed.

Clive Richardson, SQL Server DBA
Working with Next Ventures has been a pleasure. The energy and commitment they showed in the first call I had with them has been maintained throughout my contract duration, in all our dealings. I hope to continue our association long into the future.

David Erasmus, Oracle e-Business Contractor
Next Ventures recruited me into Johnson & Johnson. They had a very good understanding of the role on offer, and were very efficient in sorting out queries and issues. The consultant also had a very good balance between giving people enough updates, but not calling too often. He made the recruitment experience a positive one.
