Discover: How QTS Is Scaling a Culture‑Led Talent Strategy to Hire for Fit in a High‑Growth Data Center Environment

11:30 am - Wednesday 9th September 2026

  • Transforming talent acquisition over a 12‑year growth journey by embedding non‑negotiable cultural values into hiring, shifting from historically low retention to becoming an employer of choice by intentionally designing a work environment that prioritizes both performance and “being a good human”
  • Expanding access to constrained, high‑demand talent by aligning hiring strategy with where skills actually live, targeting mobile and mission‑aligned talent pools, including military pathways (with ~20% of the workforce having served), remote‑ready candidates, and achieving ~30% of hires through employee referrals
  • Moving from talent scarcity to talent selectivity by investing in AI‑enabled hiring tools and modern TA infrastructure to rapidly identify, assess, and convert the right candidates, reducing time spent filtering high applicant volume while ensuring only culturally aligned talent progresses into the business
