ShopWorks x Redeployable: Our candidate proving ex-military are suited to innovative technology

Artificial intelligence (or just AI) has marked a revolution in the tech space. It’s got the potential to transform our daily lives. It’s a powerful tool with vast capabilities. But what makes it so unique is its ability to learn from data, This means that it’s able to teach itself to adapt and change to level up its capabilities.

Some examples of AI doing awesome things:

  • Assisting healthcare diagnostics 
  • Fighting fraud 
  • Analyzing data for climate modelling 

Veterans + AI = ✅

We know that vets would excel in such a fast-paced industry. It demands adaptable and forward-thinking candidates. 

So when we got in touch with ShopWorks, we knew it would be a great opportunity for both our candidates and the employer. 

AI revolutionising the workplace  

ShopWorks offers AI-Powered Workforce Management Software. It works as a tool for enabling employers to improve their management processes and optimised their workforce. The technology can manage staff shift scheduling which is a time-consuming task to do manually. It streamlines companies, improving their overall efficiency and driving performance. 

ShopWorks needed a Customer Success Manager. Someone with sharp attention to detail, a strong work ethic and a clear communication style. 

But they didn’t necessarily want a veteran

Without any experience in hiring veterans, ShopWorks didn’t exclusively advertise this role on Redeployable. Instead, they sourced candidates from elsewhere too. And still, even against highly-experienced candidates who’d spent years in the HR industry, our ex-Royal Navy candidate, Lee Campbell, came out on top. 

Since being placed, Lee has made a huge difference. As a former Petty Officer in the Royal Navy, his attention to detail and management skills are second-to-none. We knew he’d be the perfect match. 

The job involves collaborating with customers to enable them to get the very best out of the ShopWorks platform. Since starting, Lee has worked closely with project managers in a variety of different companies and has enabled them to improve their staff morale by using the platform. The result is a long line of happy customers with profits that have excelled since taking on the technology. 

Don’t just take our word for it

Lee’s proven to be such an asset to the company that they’re continuing to use the Redeployable platform. We’re excited to see the next candidates that we place. 

“​​strong communications skills, an ability to speak frankly and clearly to customers, a great work ethic, and the ability to manage time and priorities.” - Ian Hogg, Chairman of The Work Tech Group (Includes ShopWorks)
