    October was a month that reminded me of the importance of courage in our industry.

     

    We had a few examples of candidates that didn’t quite “fit the brief” but ended up landing roles after heavily contested interview processes. These candidates had transferable skills from outside tech and, crucially, a strong inner drive. Sometimes it takes courage and conviction to break down a barrier (perceived or real), and the results can be fantastic.

     

    In other news, we passed 17,000 followers on LinkedIn and our latest recruit, Nick Matthews, made his first (of many) placements. Nick has taken to the role of 360-degree Consultant like a duck to water and has brought some great processes with him that we have implemented.

     

    Some of the roles we filled in October are below;
    ⚡ 2 x AEs – Edutech
    ⚡Sales Lead – B2B Marketing Agency
    ⚡ 2 x Territory AMs – Cyber Security
    ⚡ CSM – Telco Billing Platform
    ⚡ Senior BDM – IT Consultancy
    ⚡ BDM – Digital Signage Saas
    ⚡ Enterprise AE – HR Tech
