Transferring from Other Disciplines

Depending on technical background and transferable consultancy skills, then people from outside the ‘ServiceNow bubble’ could be considered for Mid-Level and Junior roles – the Skills and Experience in this case would be:

EITHER candidates who have a strong background in Technical IT management areas AND having a proven aptitude within a scripting / programming environment
OR candidates who have solid Software Development experience in Web Technologies (a combination of Server-side and Client-side development in JavaScript, HTML, CSS, PHP, SQL, Ruby, etc.)
Knowledge of IT Service Management and ITIL processes is very helpful
Candidates with experience managing a competitor tool (e.g. Remedy) must be able to give evidence of strong programming / software development skills
Training into ServiceNow development would be provided, candidates with 5 years+ industrial experience would enter at Mid-Level, with others entering at Junior level
Our Technical Consultants are good communicators, customer focussed, independent yet team-minded and see the bigger picture for the solution they are working on

Usually only considered if recruitment has been advised to include this (e.g. for internal to CC cross-skilling or a specific external non-ServiceNow push)
