Platform of support for ISG employees and companies

Alex Ramsden, CEO and founder of BuildMyTalent, has created a community to help the 2,200 jobs likely to be lost by the collapse of ISG.

We understand that a number of architectural technologists are amongst those that have lost their jobs. The support available works as follows:

For ISG employees 

1 - WhatsApp community for ISG employees to find their next roles, talk to talent acquisition teams and to support each other through the coming days and weeks. There are now over 300 people within the community since launching. Email Alex at [email protected] for the invite link.

2 - CV matching service. 4 stages to this:

Step 1 - Send your CV to [email protected]
Step 2 - BuildMyTalent will come back with a list of companies they'd like to forward it onto.
Step 3 - You give your permission to share the CV to these companies.
Step 4 - BuildMyTalent will follow up with you in a week's time with a further call/discussion to see if their help is still required.

3 - Job title matrix – BuildMyTalent are working with a growing number of companies who have shared a list of job titles that they are looking to recruit. You can use the spreadsheet to see which roles are currently open for application across different companies.

Companies hiring (all support is free)

1 - Access to the WhatsApp community – there is a designated group for sharing company information, as well as a group where ISG employees are sharing their details and experience for companies to reach out to them directly.

2 - Matrix/CV matching - Please tell BuildMyTalent which job titles you're currently hiring for so that you can be added to the matrix. They will also need to know where to send CV's to. If you'd like to be on the list, please email [email protected]

Support organisations such as institutes, charities and other organisations

1 - Please offer your support via the WhatsApp organisation. Message Alex on Linkedin or email [email protected] for access.

For ATs within ISG, you can also contact Joe Oxtoby at Hays for further information, support and advice: [email protected]
